Holiday update!

Hello! 

Graham and I had a busy Christmas holiday this year! We got to spend Christmas with my in-laws in Sydney, they kindly flew us home to be with them this Christmas and we got to spend 9 great days hanging out, laughing, eating good food and taking silly pet pictures.  A photo journey of our 2012/2013 Christmas holiday.

My brother in-law Simon and Father in-law Stuart on Christmas morning. Stuart surprised us all with Christmas t-shirts to be worn on the day. Super cute!

Graham, taking after his grand-dad Kevin, carving the ham. I even had a go at it, I wasn't to bad. But Graham holds the title. 

My Aussie Mum Karen on Christmas morning with Presley the cutest member of the Buchanan family.

Me and Preslers..... aka Presley 

Photo I took for my Mom and Dad on Christmas morning under the christmas tree!

With no grand kids to hurry us I think we opened presents at 11am. hahaha

During our visit we played many intense games of scrabble with the family.

We got into Sydney one day of our trip. Me at the Opera House steps. We had a marathon day of visiting with friends. Leaving home at 7am and getting back around 11pm

Afternoon drinks overlooking the Sydney Harbour at the Opera Bar with Jason and Andy.

My best buddy Mel and her wife Kel had us over for dinner one night. Even Jelly the cat got a little ice-cream with desert!!! Thanks for having us over I miss you guys!!

We got a few visits in with Marj, Graham's Nan. This is a cute photo of the two of them killing bugs on the plants.. The zero pest control way, all you need is your thumb and index finger to get the job done.

When we got back to Perth is was time to build the set for my upcoming show Secret Bridesmaids' Business. Thanks to some great friends the building went quickly!

I hosted a cast BBQ down on the Perth foreshore as a well come back from the holidays. Sausages and salads where enjoyed by all.

Two very special theatre friends. I couldn't do it with out these two girls!!

So that was Christmas holidays for another year. Graham has been busy with his latest project for school working with the infectious disease department at the hospital. He spent all of last night trapping and snap freezing mosquitoes. I asked him if he got any bites.. he said he didn't even get one. But the girl who was working with him got many. I guess he was lucky!! They are testing the mosquitoes for diseases. Interesting stuff!

My show opens February 1st and all the final preparations are being done now. I am excited to see the show up and running. I have to say I have a amazing and dedicated cast. I feel so fortunate! 

Hope your year is off to a great start!!
