Its starting to feel like Christmas!

Why .......
 - Christmas Carols in Trafalgar Square with Larissa on Friday night - where it was too cold and our feet got sore so we went to the cafe for Hot Chocolate
- It's finally below 5 degrees and even though it hasn't really snowed we did get a few snow flakes this week
- On Saturday Josh and I went our separate ways to get each other a present
 - On Sunday we skyped my parents and opened our Christmas presents from each other - Thanks Mum and Dad
- Sunday for lunch we had everyone around for Christmas Lunch of roast lamb and chicken and finally said goodbye to everyone at 9pm.  A really nice weekend.

Christmas Celebrations - Sat 10th - Sun 11th December

Check out the gingerbread - guess which one Josh made?

Food table on Saturday - before the chocolate fountain was turned on - you can see the fairy cakes we decorated.

On the TV is a log fire - it even had sound effects of crackling - Josh brought it on the internet and plug it into the TV - made it really feel like Christmas!

Chocolate fountain up and running now!

Secret Santa game.

Josh got beers - very happy until someone decided they wanted his present and he got another (rules of the game you can 'steal' someone else's gift and they have to unwrap another one) - the x-factor CD from last season - not impressed! Very funny!

Lunch with Jo and James on Sunday.

This weekend we had a really festive weekend.  On Friday Josh and I made gingerbread men - Josh made a special gingerbread - see if you can spot it in the photos! Then on Saturday Manyank, Janaki, Larissa, Steve, Kirsty, Simon, Audrey and Nick came around for Christmas sweats and a few Christmas games - including secret santa.  Josh and I also make fairy cakes and decorated them - very exciting!  Then on Sunday we had Jo and James around for a roast lunch before heading off to a carol service with Steve and Larissa at HTB.

The Christmas Tree

Not much going on in November, just lots of relaxing.  This Sunday Josh took some photos of London and we met up with Simon and Kirsty at the Christmas Markets on Southbank and enjoyed some nice german sausage and some mulled wine!
