So, with Christmas Day almost done and dusted, I want to take the opportunity to count my blessings for the most amazing people in my life, and remember those that are no longer with us.
Christmas 2013 was spent with my Mum, Dad, Gran and Uncle (and the dogs; Luna and Oliver). Unfortunately I didn't get to spend it with my Sister or my perfect Boyfriend who are up North with family and the in-laws. I get a little sad looking round the Christmas table, and remembering those that should be here, but instead are enjoying dinner up in heaven. It's a family tradition to toast to absent family and friends, and to give thanks for the wonderful people we have in our lives.
I was completely spoilt rotten with an abundance of presents; from an amazing Tour of the Emirates stadium with an Arsenal legend, Pandora bracelet charms, slippers, socks, underwear, chocolates and treats, candles, phone book and diary sets, alcohol, a boofle teddy and lots of gorgeous bits and bobs.
I managed to spoil my family and my boyfriend with a tonne of gifts, luckily this year I started early enough so that finances weren't too much of an issue. I am looking forward to going to see Katy Perry live in concert with Peter as part of the gift I bought him, and I'm really looking forward to catching up with him and seeing how his family Christmas panned out. This is our second Christmas together that we haven't been able to spend together. Fingers crossed for 2014 that in some way we get to spend the day together!
I want to wish all the best for the final few days of the year, and I really hope that there are more amazing memories to add to the collection in the New Year.
Until next time, xoxo.
