December!

It's the first of December!!!! Always exciting around here. Start of Advent calendars, Christmas events, and Star!
First is my advent calender. I have a chocolate one, obviously, but I also took part in a swap on Facebook were we made little envelopes of craft items, sent it to someone who mixed them all up and sent them back so we have a surprise each day.

Day one was this little bag of die cuts and some bunting. Can't wait to use them :)

The other big deal is obviously Star came back! The kids were so excited. I thought they'd have grown out of it a little by now but nope.
She always brings breakfast on the first day, nothing healthy, so hot chocolate, a huge cookie and crumpets fitted the usual menu. ;)

Kids all shipped off to school Mark and I went to the movies! We recently got a CLA card so I can go cinema free with him and a limitless card for Mark so its seriously cheap to go now. If we go once a week it works out cheaper than buying a cup of coffee each!
Marks depression had started to get overwhelming again and a big part of that is the fact he rarely leaves the house, so a weekly trip to the cinema will hopefully help with that.

Fantastic beasts and where to find them, AMAZING film!
So movie over, home for Mark to go to bed and me to snuggle up on the couch with a shivering pug. That dog is not built for any form of extreme weather.

So December is off to a brilliant start. Hopefully its a sign of good things to come ;)
