Wow, finally going to catch up on some blogging today-after a nearly 2month absence! Last Saturday I was spoilt with a lovely baby shower. It was a ladies only tea, and lots of yummy cakes and sandwiches etc. Baby Rebecca got such lovely things, thank you dear friends!!!

Christmas Day Celebrations!

Merry Christmas to all my blog followers! I hope you had a special day celebrating with family and loved ones!-I sure did. We were invited to my moms for a Christmas lunch today. Each place setting had an ornament we could take home for our tree, aswell as a homemade cracker made by me(filled with Ferrero Roches). On the menu was glazed gammon, duck stuffed with cranberries and sage, beef cordon bleu, bean salad, carrots, peas and roast potatoes. After all that we needed a rest break and retired to the lounge for a bit. On return to the dining room we were treated to strawberries, ice-cream, mince pies and tiramisu. Wow, we are all so stuffed now! It's amazing to think that next year we will have a little baby to join us, what a celebration that will be. I can't wait to start our own family traditions and do fun things together. I was super spoilt rotten by everyone. A few of my fave prezzies are: my FIRST EVER car, nighties and underwear for my hospital stay and a stunning new perfume- YSL Belle D'Opium. Gorgeous!!!! Also wishing my in-laws a happy holiday in Oz!

Christmas

Christmas arrived early at our house, my tree has already been up for about 2 weeks! I just love this time of year. Now that the decorations are up, I need to start baking. I have promised my 4yr old niece a biscuit baking session- that should be fun!
