This weekend the festive fun really began when some of our most favourite people came and stayed for the weekend. We mostly sat around eating and drinking and catching up but did also squeeze in some shopping in the Christmas markets. The laughter was plentiful. We also briefly met up with my grandparents and exchanged some presents. Very lovely indeed.

So now the busy times really begin. This week I have another work Christmas meal, my work Christmas party and our little Christmas dinner with our best friends. Then on Sunday it’s our Christmas Day with my Dad. Turkey with all the trimmings, Christmas presents and board games. The whole schbang.


Side Note: the only good thing about having divorced parents? Two Christmas Day’s and two birthdays. It’s definitely a bonus.


ps. today I ordered the camera. The saving paid off and it’s on it’s way to it’s new home with us. These are my last photos with a dying camera. Rest in Peace little Kodak. You served us well.

    Ah this looks like a really good weekend... I have to say I'm envious of you living so close to your family, I wish I could say that my sis dropped by this weekend or something like that...Gosh I'm getting really homesick, France in 10 days, it's time. xxx
    ps: good news for your new camera, have fun with it :)

    He he, that's funny what you said about divorced parents. I totally agree. Another bonus is that when you have babies there are two separate people you can call on for babysitting duties- works so well for us!!!!

    oh drats...I missed what camera model you went with!! My hubby and I have been researching cameras for weeks and finally committed last week to one! I'm interested to hear which one you got!!!

    Oh - and two Christmas celebrations sounds ideal.

    I wish my parents (and my partner's parents for that matter) could work it out like yours. Instead we have four Christmases on. Because of their sill ways, WE have to split up in order to attend. He is heading to his mums first, then dads. I'm only going to my dads because he lives a billion hours away. Missing my mums because she is living even further away. I've already put my foot down about next year!
