Christmas Dinner!

I'm afraid to say it's probably going to get pretty Christmas-centric around these parts. I'm a total sucker for everything about the christmas holidays. Advent, the tree, the markets, and considerable amounts from the cheese board! My family will be arriving at my place on the 23rd and I'm pretty excited! Jenny and I will do most of the cooking this year so I took the opportunity to have a little practise run and cooked a festive dinner for 6 of my friends and I. It was a lovely evening and I hope everyone left feeling suitable full up on christmas treats!




I'm keeping everything crossed for a blanket of snow (but once my family have arrived safely of course!)

It's time!

The tree is up, the Advent candle is lit, the calendar is stuffed with chocolate coins and I'm exciiiiited!










This weekend's Sunday Spot looks to be full of Christmas cheer too- I have lots of christmas activities up my sleeve!

Monument

Gavin and I climbed Monument this summer and took in the amazing views, and I forgot to show off my certificate until now! Excuse the grainy photo it was shot on one of these
