Boxing day~So many people and so much fun

 Boxing day is always filled with lots of laughs, selfies and noise.

On Boxing day, it has become a tradition to have all our cousins, aunties, Uncles and our Nanny and Grandad round. There is about 21-23 people in our house each year on boxing day so it can get crazy. All of us girls just go upstairs talk and take selfies. the little boys are normally playing with their Lego or something in their room and the adults will be being adults downstairs.

 All our cousins are so much fun, they're so beautiful and I love them so much.

For lunch its always a choice of chilli with you jacket-potato or something to with pasta. We then have pudding after and we always get filled up with cake and food.

Boxing day is also the day we get to eat out lovely, yummy Gingerbread houses.

 I always miss the cousins as soon as they have gone and I hope that we are going to see them again in February half term for our birthdays.

  Hugs from,

Christmas~More presents than I expected

Before I get onto Christmas day I want to tell you a little about Christmas eve. 

For Christmas eve we wanted to do a few things:

1. We wanted to make our Ginger bread village, two houses as chocolate and two houses as gingerbread. It definitely wasn't as impressive as last years gingerbread house, but it was different and fun.
2. We wanted to make sure everything was fairly tidy
3. In the evening Abbie made us caramel hot chocolate while we all snuggled up onto the sofas and watched  Polar Express. 

Now onto Christmas day...

We put our Christmas tree up I think only about 3 or 4 days before Christmas and we have yet to put our Christmas tree down, but in some ways I don't want to, it just smells amazing and it is still very pretty. I love Christmas time. I love the putting all the decorations up giving and receiving presents. It's a lovely time to be with your family, to get cosy, comfy and to just have fun.

 Us girls love to decorate our room at Christmas time. We have our mini tree and we like to place some fairy lights and tinsel in places to. 

 I woke up at 6 o'clock on Christmas morning and I very impatient. 

When we finally got to open our stocking presents I received:

• Chocolate, meaning- chocolate coins, dairy milk Christmas tree chocolate, and a box of different chocolates. 
• Fluffy slipper socks
• A beautiful bracelet
• Big, long welly socks
• I got some fake nails, because I really want to grow my nails this year and putting fake nails on for my mum helped her to grow her nails, so I am hoping it will work for me to.
• Shared between us, us girls got a festive quiz and little headband bobble things, to go in our hair.
• Two sweetclems because I asked for them.  
• Pants
• and that's it.

When we got back from Church we 

did our festive quiz while waiting for our scrumptious Christmas dinner. 

Then waiting for people to clear up before we did main presents we took selfies ;)

 I got:

• Christmas pyjamas 
• Girl Online, on tour, by Zoe Sugg aka Zoella
• A colouring book
• A bandanna headband thing
• Neckless and earings, they weren't from the same person, but they where a pair and are meant to go together.
• Another set of fake nails
• Jegging, jeans
• more chocolates that came in a jar alongside a piece of toast as a keyring. 

Christmas day was lots of and I got way more than expected because Lilo's, Abbie's and my main present is happening in February. We are getting our room completely re-done. It's getting repainted, we are getting a little bit of new furniture, we have already sold and put in the attic, the toys we don't need or play with or want any more. We are going to be getting a more grown up bedroom and I am VERY excited.

Lilo's Birthday ~ German Market in Birmingham

On the 27 of November it was Lilo's birthday. For Lilo's birthday she wanted to have a big shopping trip with her friends, so Mum and Lilo decided on going to Birmingham and meet up with S and H, Lilo's two best friends. We went to the Bullring to do all the shopping. I got a Christmas jumper, I got two pairs of leggings because I needed leggings, I also got a pencil skirt, a 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' top and I think that was it.

It was Lilo's choice to go to Pizza hut for lunch and we shared four pizza's between all of us.

After Pizza hut we did a bit more shopping and then we got sandwiches and sat down to eat them, I took a few rubbish photos while eating. After we had finished our sandwich tea we looked round the German Market a bit. I think it was about 8 or 9 when we got onto the train and headed home.

It was lots of fun and I want to do it again another time. This is a very late post and I'm sorry.

The Gathering 100

 It has been quite a while since I came back from the gathering, but I just haven't really wanted to write my blog yet, now I do so I will talk about the gathering a bit.

 It all looked very blue when we first got their and it looked blue pretty much everyday. It may not look like there are many people there, but I took these photos before the evening meetings started and there was thousands of people.

 All the meetings were amazing, all the sermons, the worship, the talks, the praying, the seminars, it was just incredible to feel the presence of the lord there. Even in the break where we all just hung out and played on bouncy castles, you could feel the presence of lord.

 On Saturday evening, after the celebration(main meeting)there was a bit of a dance party where two bands played and we all danced. You could choose to stay or not, so some groups did and some groups didn't. Only some stayed out of our group. We all took loads of selfies and pictures and had so much fun, we didn't want it to end.

The band below was the first band that played and they were called written in kings. The other band were a rap band and I didn't take any photos of them. 

I had so much fun with my friends, dancing and worshiping and I am very sad that it is over, I miss it very much and I can't wait till next year.

Things I'm loving and the Gathering!

Last week I wrote about Colwyn Bay, this week is just going to be a bit of a random blog post.

Over the past month I have been loving this app called COLORFY. It's a wonderful app where it gives you a colouring and a some colours and you then you just colour the picture, so it is basically just a colouring app, but I really like it. 

 These are a few I've done.

 The bottom one is one I made myself because there are categories and one of them is text. You can have the choice to colour one already made or you can decide on your own text and background.

Another thing I have been loving is sketching and drawing.

 The eye is my personal favourite.

This Friday it's the Gathering 100 2015 and I am SUPER excited. It is The Gathering 100 this year because it is Elims 100th birthday. This year it is in a different venue to what I am used to, but I still think it is going to be amazing and a few people from our church that haven't been before are going as well, so that is also super exciting. If you don't know what the Gathering is then I will tell you. It is a Christian gathering for anybody to come to and it lasts from Friday evening to Sunday morning. There are seminars in the middle of the big meeting when we do all the worship and really start to feel the Lord. On Saturday it lasts the whole day, so we have lunch breaks and we have a morning meeting and an evening meeting with breaks and seminars in the middle of it all. 

At the moment I am loving the band Beautiful Eulogy and Ellie Goulding.  I am also loving a few odd songs like Ain't nobody (loves me better) by Jasmine Thompson and Felix Jaehn, Are you with me by Lost Frequencies and Easy Love by Sigala.

The films I want to see are Inside out, Pitch Perfect 2 and Mockingjay part 2 when it comes out. The TV show I am absolutely loving is Downton Abbey. Unfortunately it is the last series, but I am excited to see how it ends. 

I think that is it from me today. I would love to hear about what you're loving at the moment down in the comments. I will post when I get back from The Gathering 100
