Christmas gifts

I wanted to do a post on what we got for Christmas not to show off but we got some really good gifts and the ideas are ones I will be using for future years. Plus I want to keep Christmas alive for a bit longer, it goes way to quickly.

Considering we did not ask for anything specific our family and friends did very well, I seem to have years like that where I am so happy with what I have got people and had ideas and other years I have no clue what to get. Anyone else have that?

We got some joint presents for myself and my husband, the best were these retro sweets and Game of Thrones Monopoly from my parents. Here we are in the middle of the game, which is still ongoing (it's pretty even at the moment!!!) I think this is a really good present idea and will probably do some thing similar for others.

 

Some of my favourite gifts were more sentimental gifts like these elephant patterned trousers from my brother in law. I wasn't expecting anything as he only got back from travelling on the 22nd but he bought these in Asia, I cannot wait to wear them. I also got a Disney DVD from my best friend, she got me Sleeping Beauty which is one I haven't seen which she must have remembered. My main present from my Husband was a Wii U, although I expect it was more for him!! I am really rubbish at games I don't know why the only game I was ever good at was Crash Bandicoot on PS1!! But I seem to be pretty good at Mario Kart. Perhaps I will stick to children's games as my forte!!

 

We also got some amazing things for the baby as well. We got various toys to last her over this year. I have come to the realisation that our lives are now going to be full of colourful noise making plastic. The horror!! Although one noise maker that I don't really mind (yet) is a musical book that can either sing the songs with words or just the music. It also has buttons for colours and instruments, she is too young for that but does seem to love the music. She also received clothes, she had a 1st Christmas onesie with the cutest reindeer feet. Just take a moment for those feet!! Then we started our book collection, I love reading and really wanted some fairy tale stories and got this really amazing book with gold embossing and it is just beautiful. She won't know what the hell I am on about but I will read it to her anyway.

I hope that everyone got what they wished for this Christmas and aren't too depressed now it has gone. Only 351 days till next Christmas..... Ok sorry I will take that back.
