Just Around The Corner

Christmas is just ten days away! I'm so excited, but to me the year has gone really quickly as it always seems to do, maybe its just me. Well Christmas preparations are underway here, Elise is making a big Christmas pudding, I'm planning to make some goodies, the Christmas tree is up, we've finished school for the year and well.... Christmas is in the air.

As most of you would know, us Australians are just beginning summer when Christmas comes. I see all the dreamy pictures of Christmas online and there's snow, a big Christmas tree by an open fire, lights everywhere and people having a merry time, something like above.

But, I have to be honest with you, this is much more like an Aussie Christmas....

I love this video, its a classic. I hope you liked it.
After Christmas, (New Year), my family and I are going to have a little holiday with our Grandparents who live on the coast. We are really looking forward to that.


Anyway, what are you plans for Christmas?

Zip a dee doo dah

I honestly don't know why I've titled this post like that, I guess its just a random name for a random post. Anyway, it is absolutely soaking wet here, it has been raining nonstop for about an hour now, cricket has been called off for the whole weekend and I'm in misery because of it. I get so upset when sport is washed out.

But there is one good thing, its my birthday this weekend!!

I'm really excited, I'm going to have a big chocolate cake with drinks and pizza and lots of yummy foods. I don't have clue on what I'm getting for my birthday, hopefully there will be some good stuff. We have some streamers and balloons and we're going to decorate our living room and have great time! Just a quick post today, I can't think of what else to say. I just wanted to post something new. I might be able to post about my birthday, hopefully I will.

Adios!

Grand Final Winners!

Naomi & I Won Our Hockey....

Grand Final!!!!!

It's so exciting!!!!! It is the first hockey grand final we've won.

Random.....

It's the weekend!! The weekend has got to be the best part of the week. I get to hang out with friends, play sport, watch sport and just relax. I don't have sport today. My hockey team won our semi final, so we are straight into the grand final which will be played next weekend. Its very exciting!! So with hockey finishing, the cricket season will start soon. Naomi, my brothers and I are signing up for cricket today.

At the moment I'm sitting on my bed, in my pajamas, my hairs a mess, my little sister is playing games on Naomi's laptop while I'm blogging away on my laptop. I haven't been blogging much lately, I should probably try harder. Since spring started (ten days ago), I have been for two swims with my siblings in our pool. It is very chilly, but it was a lot of fun. Any way, before I leave, here are a few photos.

Toodle Pip!
