Christmas and 2010!
January 3rd, 2010
3rd day of 2010 and we are absolutely loving this year. Everyone keeps saying “This is your year” to us and it excites me so, so much. Who knows what the next 12 months will hold? I’m so excited. I love the buzz of new year, you just want to get up and create.
Christmas was lovely, lovely, lovely. Very busy with a lot of relatives, that’s the problem with a big family who each have big families themselves. But we always love Christmas time. We exchanged gorgeous presents. Nathan bought me a bag I had fallen in love with back in May. It was a designer photography bag but I couldn’t ever hope to afford it, but I never realised Nathan had bookmarked it. So it was a huge surprise to unwrap my dream bag which now houses my little Canon and lenses. And then he got me a gorgeous top and handbag which I had been eyeing up forever. I bought him several games he wanted and a pair of roller blades. We’re hopefully going to use them tomorrow. Yay!
New Year’s was very sweet. Every year we take a Chinese takeaway up to my Grandparents in the early evening to make them feel involved in their old age. They always enjoy it, and so do we! So we did that and we all hung around afterwards with bloated tummies. I found some old vinyl records that my Grandpa let me borrow for some photographs, so I have a million ideas for them. Nathan and I decided against going out, it was too cold and we didn’t want to have to wait for hours to see a 10 minute display. So we watched it on TV instead whilst sipping our wine and we then watched a million paper lanterns take off into the sky over the horizon from our windows. It was magical and like a dream.
This was us on Christmas Day sitting down to lunch which was really yummy. I feel sick thinking of all that food though! We seriously weren’t hungry for the next 3 days!
We’re hopefully off on holiday next week, but we’re due for a massive snow storm at the end of this week, so that’ll of course create havoc with transport, so we’re holding off booking for now until we know what’s going to happen with Jack Frost’s plans.
Until next time and happy 2010!
