Reminiscing about Christmas

This entry will only be about Christmas because I'll post pictures and such of New Years in a couple of days.

The BEST news ever is that I finally have Telus internet! Instead of having to pay $26 a month for internet that NEVER works, I now only pay $7 a month for internet that is AMAZING!

Christmas was a little strange being away from home, but Whistler is feeling more and more like my home as the days go by. Christmas Eve was spent at Buffalo Bills for locals night and the Fairmont crew was out in full force!

On Christmas Day, after being woken up with a phone call from the family, we started off by making a HUGE breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon - on the George Foreman of course!, and flat breakfast sausage)! It cured all the hangover that ailed us!

This is my roomie Tiff and my friend (and neighbour) Leah slaving away on our feast!


The rest of the day was followed by a nap, doing absolutely nothing, and probably some more sleep HAHA At around 6pm we did a Secret Santa with 14 of us - everyone was Aussie except for me...actually that describes a good majority of my friends here! We had $30 each to spend, exchanged the gifts, opening them one at a time, and then we had to guess who it was from. I was so excited for my friend Albert to get his gift from me - I got him a sled! It is a big deal because he had dislocated his shoulder from boarding - and this present was an incentive one so he can use it when he gets better! He looooved it!

After Secret Santa some of us came back to our place and we played Twister and ate the cookies my Bobcha had sent me!


Two Aussie friends being spinner happy!

Renaud and I taking a break from Twisting.

Petey and I enjoying Bobcha's delicious cookies!
I am pitiful at Twister... I can admit it! Note: Mom, see Petey is wearing one of the hats you've sent! Everyone wore them throughout the night, we all loved it.

I tried to focus more on the pictures for this post - so you can all actually see what I'm up to! Hopefully now that the internet is going I will be able to post more often. My New Years goal is to save more money and only go out 2x a week...instead of 3-5...HAHA
