Merry Christmas everyone... I hope you've had a lovely couple of days!! This post is definitely a more lifestyle/personal kind of thing... I love making blogposts like this one as it's something for me to look back on in years to come, and I find it so nice to just sit back and document days/events in this way :) Here I will show some of my highlights of Christmas this year... so it will probably be a bit picture-heavy! Anyway... enjoy the Christmas-overload-photographs haha :) ...
Beautifully wrapped presents from Olivia!!
Yay! Matthew's in his Christmas jumper hehe!! :D
Mr. Handsome buried in his presents!!
Aww, that's my boy haha... instead of using gift tags, just writes my name in the penguin's tummy on each and every present!
Aww, about to go all teary haha... getting over-excited when I opened my little Mickey Mouse charm from Matthew for my Thomas Sabo bracelet (Disneyland momento) :)
Coolest presents from Matthew's dad!! Hello kitty!!
The gifts I got from Matthew :D I was so excited when I opened jaws on dvd haha, such a small silly thing but it felt special because he knows how much I love it... definitely better than horror films! The Soap&Co nail set has a funny story behind it involving a really pushy sales man in meadowhall, who managed to persuade Matthew to buy it for me, after testing it on his nails instead of mine haha... don't think he quite knew where to put himself my poor boyfriend haha! I felt SOOO happy when I opened all the things he bought for me, love each and every single thing! Especially my little card :)
With all the opening done, I like to gather my presents and put them over my desk/shelves so I can take it all in and look at everything!
I feel so spoilt by my lovely family and friends (Louise, Vincent, Loucie, Olivia, Matthew... thank you for everything all of you!)... really happy with all my gifts, they're so perfect!! ... and I even won £5 on a scratch card in my stocking (massive OMG, I never win anything on them!)
I can't quite remember how long I've been lusting after this... but I can't believe it's sitting in my room!!! Thank you thank you thank you Mumsy!! :)
I got this bath oil from my Mum/Dad (santa ;) haha) and the candle from Matthew... both of which I am literally in love with the smell of!!! In my stocking there was also a little free sample along with some other beauty samples which I thought was really cute! Another reason why my mum is far more thoughtful than I think even she knows!
I've never tried any of the Laura Mercier body range, so this little set is perfect it has a body soufflé (moisturiser) along with a body scrub, a bath oil (with a cute little honey stick to use to put it into the bath water) and a candle... they all smell amazing!!
I must quickly point out that every single origins skincare boxset that I seen this Christmas was so worth the money! Loads of discount! (and there will be even more off them during the sales I expect) My mum told me she managed to get this for £28 (excuse the whole "don't tell someone the price of their gift" rule here... but this was an exception we were just discussing how amazing their deals were!)
Awww!! Here's my beautiful little charm that will remind me of the most happiest, special memories every time I look at it... such a perfect present... thanks buby!!
Now for the best part of Christmas... the dinner! Yum yum yummmm... my favourite parts are mashed potato, gravy and the cranberry sauce!!
Andrew's usual Wallace&Grommit smile haha
Aww, my amazing family! Looking at this makes me feel sooo thankful... for the family I have, for my house, my special things... yummy food! Just everything... I think Christmas definitely reminds you of what's important and how lucky you are!
By the way I didn't crop my brother out... he finished before us and left the table to go and explore all his Christmas presents haha :)
Oup... twins! haha I was way too hot in my Christmas jumper so I quickly shoved a different top on... only to find my mum had on the same one!! haha neither of us could be bothered to change, thankfully we were just eating at home :D
Me and my little brother :) Lovely to have him home, so proud of him... always! (For any readers who don't know, Andrew has autism and stays at a residential school specifically for people with Autism... which he's doing soooo well at! :D)
Well, I can't believe how quickly Christmas goes! But I had a really lovely day, spending time with family (matthew included) :) and eating the yummiest food!! Absolutely love all my presents... thank you to my friends and family for the gorgeous gifts and cards (if some of you are reading this? haha) ... I think if I loved you all any more, I would burst! :)
I hope everybody enjoyed their Christmas and is looking forward to the new year... hopefully it doesn't go as fast as 2013 has... so scary!! Anyway... Happy holidays! :D
