What I've Been Up To Recently - Christmas Edition

By Clairebelle @cbelleoftheball
Well hello there!
It's 2013! Happy New Year!
I'm sorry for my long absence, but I decided to take a blog break over Christmas and New Years and spend time with the hubby and friends and family.
I had such a nice few days. I held my annual Christmas Eve (held on Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve) gathering, Christmas Eve was spent with Darren having a walk on Hampstead Heath then lunch at Dim T and seeing Life of Pi at the Everyman Cinema. Christmas Day I was with my family, which was so nice and Boxing Day was spent with Darren's family. Then we had a few days doing odd jobs around the house, Darren painted Titch's room (just over 8 weeks to go!!) seeing the Hobbit with my mom and dad and New Years Eve was spent with a group of our close friends, having dinner in West Hampstead followed by drinks and games back at one of their flats.
Yesterday, New Years Day, Darren and I stayed in our PJs all day, made Jamie Oliver's epic waffles and hot chocolate and managed to watch 4 films! Not a bad start to 2013.
So all that being said, it is now back to blogging :o) It's been a nice break but I have missed it. Here is my little round up of what I've been up to recently in pictures. How was your Christmas and New Years? I hope you had a fabulous one and 2013 is amazing for you all. Enjoy x
