Hey Merry Christmas!!! We had a great day! Spent it with Brad's family and it was lovely and hot! It was a bit strange for me having Christmas in the heat but it was lovely to spend it with family and the food and presents were all fantastic!
We are getting ready now for my parents arrival which will be Sunday night our time. And tonight (Saturday) I'm heading out with a few friends for my Australian hen night. I will take photos and post them up tomorrow if I can. We are also going to be throwing a New Years party in our house so we will hopefully have a good time and good pictures from that too!
So I'll take this chance to say Merry Christmas once agin and Happy New Year to everyone from Brad and I!

Hello. It's been a busy month so far. All the Christmas presents are bought and wrapped, and in the case of the Irish ones, in the post. All the Christmas cards are sent and our tree still has some baubles on it (there are some still out of the cat's reach).
Thanks to everyone who sent us a card and to the people who sent presents! We haven't opened any presents yet so Christmas morning will be all the more exciting.
We've also received some wedding cards, thanks everyone who sent one. But we would like to suggest that people hold off on any wedding gifts until we're back in Ireland. Saves you spending loads on postage to Australia and us posting it back to Ireland in a few weeks.
I went to my work Christmas party last week which was good. We also went and saw Twilight at the movies after a little bit of Christmas shopping.
Got my leprechaun hat (with attached beard) in the mail. Thanks loads Gemma! Gonna take it in to work to show all the gang in the office. I've been doing some long shifts at work with the lead up to Christmas and will be going right up to my 12 hour shift on Christmas Eve. The cat was obviously concerned that I might not have woken up this morning at 2am for work, so she took it upon herself to charge up and down the house doing her 'cat howling' at 1:40am. Just as well I've got the next 2 days off!

Oh Christmas tree
Hey so last week was quite busy for us. I met up with Marlene and Lindsey for dinner (which was great), Scott and Mel hung out with us on Thursday and stayed for fish and chips dinner, and I had a job interview on the Friday. We also went to Alana and Darren's wedding on the Saturday. It was lovely. All black and white theme. The wedding took place outside in the courtyard of a hotel in Bendigo and the reception was indoors at the same hotel. The food was nice and she had a fantastic cupcake wedding cake made by Brad's auntie Anne. I also managed to post off the Christmas cards and presents so I can rest now till next year!!
All this and a week of very early starting for me. Christmas time has brought some nice 3am starts along with it (that's arriving in work at 3am). The wedding was a great laugh and would have been even better if I'd been able to take advantage of the free alcohol. Summer has been in hiding and we've been getting plenty of storms here and also some colds, probably due to the crazy changes in weather every day. Aimee has had her sore throat and sniffy nose all week and now I can feel my throat tingling too, just in time for my days off. Off into the city tomorrow to pick up Aimee's wedding band, which we had specially made.
We also put up the Christmas tree and Tinky took to pruning it right away as well as stealing the bobbles off the branches. 'Twill be the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature will be stirring, except for the cat rolling a christmas bobble across the wooden floorboards.
