Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas from the other side of the world!! 

Above is a a photo of me doing a headstand on the top of a water fall. The space between the rocks and the trees os actually a huge gap. With a very far drop. 

I was on top of that doing the above. That's how I spent my Christmas Eve day! Well, sorta, I actually slept intill about   1pm!!! I guess traveling and surfing wore me out a tad. 

  Aussie made really delicious pancakes that I ate for lunch before heading off to the beautiful place pictured above.  I wasn't so sure I could do A good handstand especially on rocks, with a cliff just beside me. So I thought the best thing was a headstand. 

  Late we went to another look out area where we saw well just look for your self! 

The blue you see is the ocean. It was a bit hazy, so you can't clearly see the beaches in the picture. But I saw them in person. Pretty neat ehy? 

For dinner we headed to the local pub. I had a delectable pasta dish and a 4w something beer. Or 3. It was a good people watch night, as i couldn't believe how many people were out on christmas eve parting at a bar. Maybe it's just because everyone I know always has plans for christmas parties and such, but it threw me off a bit. We also met Aussie's and Jody's neighbors at the bar.  Rachael (i believe her name is) is so sweet and funny!! I enjoyed chatting with her!! 

Today, (well I guess by now, it's yesterday) Aussie, & Axel woke me up around 9am. (Boy, not sure why I'm just so tired, maybe it's catch up from my last 2 weeks at Becker)  but anyways, Elizabeth and I were patiently waiting for present timeuntil  after breakfast, but Luckily Aussie couldn't hold out, so for the first time ever I got to open before breakfast!!!!!!!!!! It was so exciting!! Lol I love the necklace from my mother and the card from my father I'm sure I'll keep forever!! Sometimes, it's what is written in the card that means more than the gift itself. I love heart filled written cards!! (And Nana I know you will be at least the one person who reads this so, I really liked my christmas PJ's again this year!!!! One of my favorite shades of blue, and with penguins, you are a rockstar Nan!) 

 Jody made us bacon eggs and toast. I ate it all like a champ. (Of course with some maple syrup).  I guess Becker's breakfasts have made me a less picker eater. However, it may just be when I travel I eat whatever? I'm not sure. But it's good!  

 

Later on we headed up to Jody's parent's house for christmas lunch. He has 3 young nieces who remind me a little bit of my cousins and I on christmas (or just in general) when we were younger.  Jody's parents welcomed us with open arms in their home on christmas day. I'm so grateful for that, and the chocolates!!!

  Lunch was amazing. I tried Aussie's cranberry sauce which was awesome- it tasted like dessert food!! And I tried prongs,which  are very much like shrimp, but in my option, better. There was also the usual such as turkey, ham, beff, potatoes and such. All amazing! (And you know I enjoyed it because I went back for seconds!! I never even finish my plate for Holiday meals, although that could be from picking all day when it's all made at my home) By the way I love being 18 over here!!! I got to celebrate with some really good wine? Or champagne! 

 Elizabeth and I played with the girls for a bit after lunch while dessert was coming. They were really adorable!  Dessertwas awesome   as well.   Homemade ice cream was served as well as some homemade cream!!! Ahhhh so good on top of my pies!!

After the girls left we relaxed for a bit in the spa and then headed back to Aussie's. i fought my sleep for a while on the ride back and then my sleep one and I woke up when we got back. 

 We ended the night with a movie, and planing our next couple of days.  

Although this christmas wasn't nearly as busy as usual, i really enjoyed it!! I missed my family and friends that I didn't celebrate with, but I enjoyed my Holiday with the people I did spend it with! 

On that note, it's 1:23 am (on Boxing Day) so Goodnight mate!!! And Merry Christmas!!!
