The Regan Household: December update

I decorated the tree at the weekend. The tree is lovely, but it has glitter coated branches and when you put it up, the glitter goes everywhere! I'm a glitter kinda girl, and am of the ethos that you can never have enough glitter, but even I have my limits! There is glitter all over the house, which wasn't helped by Jamie having a boxing match with the above mentioned tree box, which spread even further after I had just hoovered up the last scattering of glitter, to say I was not amused is an understatement. But give Jamie his due, he did try to sweep it up with the dustpan and brush, spreading rather than clearing it up more like!

Our snowman family!

Mum and I went to Brightwell to pay our respects to Nan. A while after she died, her ashes were scattered in an area where she and us spent a lot of time. Mum planted a cyclamen (a red one, which was one of Nans favourite colours, I can see her now in her red jumper and cardigan!) we attached a tag, which I wrote and a Christmas decoration to the tree. We told her we loved her and we have special fond memories. I love going with Mum, it's our special time. When we walked back to the car we had our flask of coffee and coconut cakes (which Nan used to make for us, they weren't as nice as the ones Nan used to make!)

Lovely woolly sheep came to say hello!

Me and my so special Mum. She is the kindest, most caring person I know. You are beautiful inside and out. Love you so much and I'm so grateful for all you do for me and my family.

The red cyclamen.

We brought a bit of Christmas to Nan!

We took a trip out to Millets. I love seeing all the decorations. Jamie and Kev were going to go ice skating, but unfortunately it was fully booked, so will have to go another time. It was very busy there and Jamie, Kev and I were losing the will to live! We brought some outside Christmas lights.
