After spending last Christmas in Virginia, this was a sight I couldn't wait to see. This Christmas tree has grown up with my brother and sisters and I and it is our absolute favourite. All the ornaments have been with us since we were knee high to a grasshopper and lots of them have a little something special behind them. Every time I look at it I smile and feel happy inside. I love my Mom in laws tree, I love the new tree that my husband and I got this year, I love my candy tree, but I think this little baby tree with all it's colour and sparkle will always be my favourite! :) In saying that though, I'm excited to be going to Virginia in two weeks to have Christmas day with my family there and I'm looking forward to seeing the tree and Christmas decorations, as Mom makes it look like Santa's grotto. I'm very much prepared for three Christmas's every year now! :p
I love this goofy picture of my husband Chris and I. I had to capture the moment he was trying his first Indian takeaway, as you do, I like to scrapbook everything! :p It was a success and he gave it a thumbs up. The tandoori chicken was his favourite. :)
I was so excited that I finally got to take Chris to the Manchester (German) Christmas markets. I've been telling him all about them for so long, so it was so much fun showing him around. It was even better that my brother was able to come with us, as I love getting to spend time with him. Him and his friend made it a lovely evening out as they were able to show my Chris more cool things around Manchester. We got to go to a fun restaurant too, at the recommendation of my brother and his friend, and my Chris tried his first English BBQ. :p
I was going to try and write about Christmas day in the same post but I think we'd be here for hours! :p I will save that for a post in the coming days. But another place we got to go, before Kelly and Chris left, was The Trafford Center. It was lovely to see it decorated for the holidays and as we got there early in the morning it was nice and quiet and we got to leisurely walk around without bumping into people. Chris likes a lot of the English shops, with Next being his favourite, so it was an enjoyable morning out! :)
I shall leave my home adventures here for now and wish you all a wonderful day. If you got to anywhere nice over the holidays I would love to hear about them in the comments below. Also, if you have any cool places that you think I should take Chris too next time we are home, let me know! :)
Love Lulu. xx
All those Chris's? Dang! My family a similar problem. My mother, sister and great aunt all have the name Linda. So annoying! At least we call my sister by her middle name, so it makes it slightly easier during the occassional family reunion.

Haha, Kelly and I don't find it tricky but everyone says our way of saying who's who when we are talking is confusing but I think its quite simple! :p Our family stick to Chris 1,2 and 3! :p xx
