Christmas times...

Every year my Mum always does an amazing Christmas dinner and has the whole family over. We love doing crafts and every year has a different home made theme where cakes and decorations are made. This year was no exception with my Mum making a chocolate Lindor tree as a centrepiece (which we were all too scared to take chocolates from because it was so pretty and took such a long time to make lol) and a Father Christmas cake! My sister also made a gingerbread house from scratch!

Unfortunately due to working right up until Christmas I didn't have time to make anything this year but I've got plans already for a great Christmas cake for next year!

 Mum's tree is also amazing! She has collected so many lovely decorations over the years and although I love my modern white tree with bright coloured baubles, there's something about her festive green tree that just feels like home.

 I thought I'd show you a few snapshots as she definitely deserves some appreciation for her hard work!

I hope you all had a great Christmas!

 Did you get some lovely presents?

    A Lindor tree?! Wow. That's so awesome.
    And I love your sister's gingerbread house. My sister and I tried making one for the first time this year and it actually turned out pretty good. I want to try making a gingerbread castle next year, haha.
