The past couple weeks have been jam packed! I feel like we’ve barely had a break. Packed in all the best ways though, Christmas markets, shopping, wrapping, making cookies, and squeezing in as many cat snuggles as they will allow.
** We went to Meadowhall in Sheffield to kick off our Christmas shopping last week and they’ve got all their lights out.
** Taking a break from shopping we went to Wagamama’s, if you’ve never been, get yourself there, it’s delicious!
** Fran and I went to Manchester Christmas markets last weekend, but I’ve already told you about that.
**This has been what I’ve looked like most nights, hair up in a bun, glasses on, surrounded by wrapping paper. But I’m getting it all done early! 

** I’ve made two batches of gingerbread cookies now, the first were ok, but I used light brown sugar because that’s all we had. Don’t scrimp, use the dark, it’s loads better.
** Adam surprised me with some macaroons. Someday maybe I’ll learn to make my own, it’s on my list.
{Brothers // Loving Advent // Lap cat}

** The cat’s have been loving on each other again this week, although Jack is very possessive of the bed and chases Crash off it sometimes.
** Both cat’s have been loving their Advent calendars. It’s to the point now where you just get them out and they both hop down and come and meet you on the floor.
** Neither of the cat’s are lap cats, but Adam’s figured out a way. The cat climbs in the box and then you put the box in your lap, then they are happy as can be.
{Band at a pub // Myself and Bev}

Friday night I went out and met up with my friend Bev and her boyfriend and friends to see their friends band play at a pub. They were great playing covers of all the best songs to get people dancing and singing along. The plan was just to have a couple drinks and an early night, it turned into more and getting home quite late. Such is life when you’re having fun.
Saturday was filled with shopping and finally having some down time last night to just curl up on the couch and watch a movie which was perfect.
Hope everyone had as great a weekend as I did!
