must've been a really good girl this year.

Christmas 2011: family, good food, baking, cocktails, relaxation, really good food, bbq, surprising presents which I still can't believe I got, anticipation, strawberry milkshakes, backyard picnics, Will's second Christmas, ps3, street fighter, planet cake, trivial pursuit, parks, puzzles, excitement, lasagna, Christmas texts, friends, appreciation, being a kid again with Will, getting out of learning how to drive, magazines, movies and lots and lots of fun.

I had an amazing Christmas this year ♥

Here are a few photos from Christmas Eve, as well as what I was lucky enough to get this year. Seriously, I must've been a really good girl?! 

 Christmas Eve dinner

 My Linh's healthy banana bread and muffins

 Christmas Eve with family and family friends.

 My Linh's successful gas oven baked macarons, using Donna Hay's mix. Yum.

 My Linh's delicious green tea tart (I want the recipe for this).

'Eric' by Shaun Tan, Sportsgirl beauty bag/clutch, Poppycock, Sportsgirl cards and butterfly pinkie ring, Sportsgirl giftcard

The beginning of my Christmas goodies! These were all such thoughtful gifts, I really am touched. I'm pretty sure I said "omg" after opening every present - I didn't expect to get any of these things at all. 

AWW EVERYONE IS TOO SWEET AND CUTE AND KIND ♥

I don't even know how to start repaying all this loveliness.

 ASOS pants that are my perfect kind of baggy, Motel skirt (I really like cityscape prints), ASOS necklace

 It does look/feel a little tacky, but honestly that's what makes it so fun to wear. I love it!

 I won some money from Christmas scratchies, so I went out and bought this from Lovisa. It used to have a huge black feather attached, but all I wanted was this so I just removed the feather with my trusty rusty pliers. I'm thinking of checking out Spotlight or Lincraft soon too, to see if they sell things like this.

 Sportsgirl pinkie ring and nail polish. I'm really liking pink these days... I don't know why.

 Manicare perfume atomiser. Now I can smell nice all the time, and not waste my perfumes yay! Perfume fascinates me, so I'd really like to know more about the process etc. 2012 will be the year.

 YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

 Petit Bateau Breton top. My search is over!!

 My sisters got these as Christmas presents too, so now we all match :)

 AMAZING. 

I can't wait to start this.
