December 25th 2015 - Christmas day

Today is Christmas day!  the most brilliant day of the year!  I love christmas.

I know I did the same when I was a child but really boys 3:10am and telling each other to wake up and see if santa's been is TOO EARLY!  Yes daddy told you to go back to sleep for bit longer but 4:15am is STILL TOO EARLY!!!  hence grumpy mummy telling you to shut up and sleep or she would get santa to collect everything!!

6:15am is just about acceptable as it is christmas day.   I did get up and have a coffee and then could start to think about the day and opening presents.

We started easy with stockings (which were full to bursting with odds n sods - thanks santa for that!)  we then had breakfast and got dressed before we started on the huge pile of gifts under the tree:

And this was me cutting down!

January 11th 2015 - Happy Birthday Hubby

JANUARY 11th 2015 - Happy Birthday Hubby

Today is my hubby's birthday.  The day started off well for him, our friends who we had spent the weekend staying with back in our home town of Peterborough cooked him (and me and kids) a full cooked english breakfast! (I just hope they don't expect this when they come and stay with us lol!)  From here we had to load the car of our things ready for the drive home.  Once the car was loaded and we had said goodbyes we headed to see my sister who lives about 8miles away.  This was great as we didn't get to see her over christmas due to ill health, so hubby didn't get birthday presents BUT christmas presents!!!  He actually got his birthday present on christmas day - my sister sent me some money to buy beers/cider for over christmas and 1 pack was hubbys birthday present.  Well after seeing my sister we nipped into my nans, not far from my sisters and stayed with her for an hour before we hit the road back home. Sadly hubby is the only driver and so he spent 5hrs of his birthday driving back home!

My inspiriation for today's pin is found here blue birthday cakes.  Due to being tired from a busy weekend of drinking and visiting and the long journey I will add a pic tomorrow of the small cakes I made for hubby.

And thank you to my lovely boys and hubby for my cards and presents.  Each of the boys made me a card at school, I know i've moved "up north" as the card from my youngest says MAM not MUM.

Happy mothers day to all my mummy friends and the mums everywhere.
