Boxing Day

This year Christmas was a little different for me than previous years as I spent Christmas Day at home with my mum, step dad, brother, sister and brother's girlfriend and then after Christmas lunch me, my brother and sister went to my Dad's house!

Usually we would go to my Grandparents for Christmas lunch, but as we didn't this year we went there today for presents and a buffet and it was really nice as it was like extending Christmas!

It was really nice to sit around and chat and also listen to my mum lowering the tone... constantly! But that just makes it funnier and then I can tell her to behave :) bit of role reversal! 

Now my favourite present is a little mug! It wasn't just any mug though! My Grandparents got these mugs (my brother and sister also have got them) decorated by one of their talented friends in 1996 as a Christmas present and they decided that they would give them to us when we were older as it would be a really nice present and also there would be less likelihood of them breaking... after all we were only 1,3 and 5 years old at the time! Imagine 3 delicate little mugs around children that old... SMASH!

This is a picture of my mug... so cute!

And the bottom of it was also painted with a little message ( Love to Stephanie from Nanny & Grandad xmas xx 1996)

I really do love this mug! I think it was a really thoughtful gift and I will definitely be very careful when using it!

Among other gifts, I also got a recipe book and some Christmas cookie cutters! Now I know my grandparents know me so well as I do love baking rather a lot! And I am sure they will appreciate testing some of the recipes that I use :)

When we got home me and my sister decided to watch 'Up' as I got it in my stocking yesterday! We saw this in the cinema not too long ago and it really is an adorable film! The story line is so cute and so are all the characters, especially little Russell!  After this we watched Elf (my sister got this is her stocking) and I think many people - except my brother - would agree when I say that this film is amazing! I think it might be the ULTIMATE Christmas film! Perhaps on a par with the Grinch! Such good films! And I don't really think I need to say anything else on this as the films really do speak for themselves!

Tomorrow should be another good day too as one of my best friends, Imogen, is coming over to my house as she could not come to my birthday sleepover the last week as she had a surprise Christmas present! So it will be really nice to see her :)

Hope you enjoyed your boxing day like I did :) Bye!
