Festivities Begin

This year sees the festivities starting early, On Friday my mom came down for a visit and I did her hair. Gemma cooked us a lovely meal and we spent the evening with the telly off enjoying chatting n relaxing. 


Saturday we left later than planned for our trip north, having a pitstop in London to drop my mom off and say hey to Dad and Joshua, it was a surprise for them both and a 5 min stop ended up being 2 hours. This meant we was late getting to Kingswinford, Momma Hodgkiss was very welcoming and we had a chinese, 6 of us around the table, Me, Gemma, Momma H Pappa H, Chris and Steven here! a few pressies were exchanged after dinner and the evening was spent chilling and chatting. Me and Gemz had to drop Steven here! back in Bromsgrove and fell in to a very comfy bed not long after midnight. Momma H had put lil gifts on the pillows, sweeties and water by the bed. She had gone to a lot of effort and Gemz and I were bowled over..... No piccys were taken as I forgot to get my Camera out!


Sunday was a mid morning start to travel to Woking to see Bro n Mel. The journey south felt like a long one but it was comfy, I put my seat back and put my feet up on the dash!!!!!! Pooh was safely belted in the back and spent the journey asleep, I had a lil doze and Gemz made good time thanks to light traffic :D 


Bro was at work so while Gemz snoozed Mel and I walked into town, getting caught in a heavy hail storm, I was grateful for my Santa hat! We ventured to expensive places... pound land for batteries and a nosey in Primark... managed to find some daft lil pressies for Gemz. 


Dan decided that we were going to have a lil party thing, so he put on nibbles and drinkies, we had music playing on tv, drinkies and chats. Was entertaining to see Gerry getting very drunk!!!!!

Monday saw us leave Woking for Woolwich (SE London) again traffic was light but Gemz missed her turning and we ended up stuck in London traffic, going thru Peckham and places.... over an hour in traffic battling for road space and being extremely bored and frustrated, I have no idea how ppl find living in all that fun!


Got to my parents house and had a warming cuppa or two before meeting Joshua from school, he didnt know I was coming so was a surprise to see sister and not his mum! Me and Joshua played while dinner was prepared, I had fun with my baby bro, messing about and writing Christmas cards. My Mom went to a lot of effort to make the table look nice, bringing out the posh stuff!!!

My dad had decorated the tree and brought out my angel... it was made for my first Christmas and he still brings it out, I love the lil touches like that and the angel brought a tear to my eye!

After dinner we exchanged some pressies, I love my pressies from my parents (new slippers and socks) Xmas design ofc :D Joshua made me open his and I had a pencil case and pens, he chose and wrapped it his self and I was bowled over. The sock friends seemed to go down a treat too with Joshua not letting go of his!!!!!!


Leaving London later than planned we got home at 1o.30pm I had a snooze and Gemz put her foot down!!!!!! 


It was a wonderful weekend and I wanted to share it with you all. I am dissapointed so little time was spent with each person, but at least we saw family. 

I am also grateful for both sets of parents making us both feel so welcome into their lives and family, this weekend we really felt the love! 


Christmas for me has already started and I know that it will be a good one, Im all prepared and I have none of the pressures (not that I did before!!) and I cant wait to enjoy this Christmas with my pets and Ofc Gemma
