'twas the night before christmas...

..And all through the house,

Mummy and Polly were running around like headless Chickens...!

So it's Christmas Eve today and we've been trying 

to get the last few jobs finished for the big day tomorrow.

I thought I'd treat you all to a Christmas fortnight in pictures!

1.

Ollie's Mum came to pick me up to come home for the holidays,

and decided to treat us all to lunch!

We went to The Wine Vaults in Portsmouth,

and oh my god, the food was AMAZING!

We also had the very pleasant experience of them placing our order twice,

so we had so much more food than we should have done, Score!

2. and 3.

As always, I made my the labels for my Christmas presents.

And, as always, I made them incredibly fiddly!

There were about 6 steps involved in making them,

but they turned out so good so it was all worth it, in my opinion!

4.

As I mentioned before, I went to Germany to visit my Dad!

We did get snow, even if it was just for one day!

We went to a beautiful market in the town of Rottenburg,

and I tried the German equivalent of mulled wine {Gluehwein}.

I didn't like it. Haha!

5. and 6.

Our Christmas Tree!

And copious amounts of tree in festive mugs!

This to me sums up being at home!

And listening to Michael Bublé's Christmas album on repeat!

7.

Ollie and I got to spend the evening together last night,

we watched 'The Holiday' and I drank Malibu and Coke

- one of the beautiful benefits of being at home!

It was nice to have a relaxed evening together!

8. and 9.

Mum and I saw these beauties on the Hairy Bikers Christmas special,

so I decided to make them for tomorrow.

They're essentially nutella wrapped in filo pastry! {Find the recipe here}

Only try if you don't get bored easily and love fiddly things!

10.

This is another one for those who love fiddly! Welcome to the world of cake pops!

Mum is obsessed with them! 

As I'm sure you can see, these are Christmas Trees!

The best website for details on how to make your own is bakerella!

They're so pretty, but don't attempt to make a tonne on Christmas Eve!!

I hope everyone else is feeling suitably Christmas-y

and that you all have a fabulous day tomorrow!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
