Weeks Fifty One & Fifty Two!

Wow, here we are in week one of 2015! The last year has flown by and here are the highlights of my last two weeks of 2014:

Maddie had her very first blood test, my mum had to put her in some sort of a head lock first though!

She was quite proud of her war wounds :)

I had to say goodbye to one of the most charming, funny and amazing men I have ever met.

I had a very festive dirty pudding :)

We watched Christmas films together :)

The results of Maddie's blood test came back clear which was a huge relief!

Someone didn't know the height of their vehicle and caused chaos in Epsom!

I gatecrashed my sister Jessica's Christmas party:

And then went to my own Christmas party with my other sister Jemma:

I popped in to wish my friend Sara a Merry Christmas and she very kindly chopped my hair off :)

And I spent a lot of time knitting and watching TV.

I went to the panto with my friend Sarah:

And then put the finishing touches to all of the Christmas presents I made this year;

Before baking some more Christmas presents:

I had this to help with the wrapping of the final presents and it made the job a whole lot more enjoyable:)

And then it was time to bake my mince pies:

And snickerdoodles :)

On Christmas Eve I had a lovely relaxing evening knowing that everything was done :)

And the stockings were under the tree:

Christmas morning was lovely, Maddie has a new favourite hat:

And Paul loved his sweeties :)

My nephews Jack and George loved the presents I made for them in Chelsea colours :)

My aunt Sally taught Maddie how to dance :)

I finally got round to making something for myself, just in time for the cold weather:

And Alfie got to have some cuddles with Paul :)

The weather stayed crisp and dry and luckily we didn't get any snow:

And before I knew it Christmas was over, Paul and Pippy had gone home and I was left with the last piece of chocolate cake :)

The past two weeks have been great and now I'm really looking forward to the New Year.

I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by
