Christmas & NYE 2013/2014

 

It was a special Christmas with so much joy and happy times. 

Our first Christmas Tree. 

When we were buying it I got a little bit emotional as a Christmas Tree is for me the symbol of family. 

When we were looking for a Perfect Christmas Tree I thought to myself "this is my family, I am creating my family now" :) 

Wendy and Wayne came to Melbourne for Christmas. 

I got from Wayne these huge black pearls which he bought in Tahiti when he was there on his sailing trip. 

His friend Anna Nalder - jewellery maker, made the most amazing earrings for me. 

I totally LOVE them. 

Big thank you Wayne :) 

 

Misia and her Christmas outfit and more and more pics of the Christmas Tree :)

 

 

 

 

Marcus being silly again. 

It was our first Christmas in Melbourne with Marcus’s parents. 

We had Wigilia together, Marcus and Wendy helped me to prepare pierogi and uszka and to

my lovely Polish friends, are you proud of me for keeping up the Polish tradition?! 

All this Christmas preparation it was a little bit exhausting for Misia :)

 

A little snack for Misia while waiting for Wigilia :)

 

A little dance while others are working hard!!! :)

We even had oplatek and we were listening to Polish carols. 

PRESENTS !!!

I love this picture :) 

What is it here on my finger?! Is it ring?! ha ha :) 

Because you know what?! 

I AM ENGAGED!!!

 

Barszcz i uszka :) !!!

Wigilia. Time to start :)

We opened presents, lots and lots of presents.

 

 Xmas day we spent at Chris's and Emily's house. 

It was their first Christmas in their new home. 

I did Wendy's makeup as you can see. 

Ehhhh sometime I really think I am wasting my talent and I should change my profession :)

O'Brian's Crossing - my favourite place ever :) !!!

Even Wayne couldn't resist from spoiling Misia :) 

On New Years Eve Wendy announced her award. She was awarded a Queens Service Medal for her work with Early Childhood Education. Wayne made an amazing speech. Awww happy times.

Sharyn made Wendy and myself the most amazing birthday cake ever. 

New years eve was fun with lots of people in our apartment. It was our last chance to see fireworks in Dockland from our apartment. But of course we didn’t know that yet.
