OUR CHRISTMAS DAY

... in pictures :-)

Too many of these. You guessed right I failed in my clean eating challenge. Re-take in Jan.

Present envy.

Best presents ever!

New hair clips, not so much hair.

New outfits.

New wallets!

Red Christmas outfits.

Way too many nibbles.

Christmas doggies :-) 

Hope you all had a lovely time! Sorry for not responding to comments it's been rather hectic. Things will get back to normal in a few days time but now we're about to hit the road for our last destination of the year. Speak to you soon!

CHRISTMAS EVE WISHES AND PICTURES FROM DUBAI

I want to wish all of you a lovely Christmas Eve! In my home country Finland today is the day of Christmas celebrations. Here in the UK we have to wait for one more day! However we have such a lovely day ahead of us today that it feels like Christmas already. We are meeting friends for lunch after which we are heading to my Mother-In-Law's for the Christmas period. Tonight we are having gammon for dinner, which is the traditional, Finnish Christmas dish. It's my absolute favourite so I can't wait!! 

Here are some not so Christmassy pictures from Dubai where we spent the last day of our holiday. You can see from our clothing that the temperatures have started to cool down over there however it was still as sunny as ever.

My favourite outfit on Little M at the moment.

Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you have a lovely, lovely time!

SANTA GONE SURFING

Happy Christmas Zighy Bay style! If this doesn't get you in a Christmas mood what does? ;-) To be honest I had pretty much forgotten that it's nearly Christmas as there were no signs of it here. But this morning this handsome little guy greeted us on our way to breakfast. 

This is a great time to go on holiday as you have a lot to look forward to even when the trip is over. We'll be back next week just in time for Christmas celebrations.

It's time to go to the beach, again, but I'll see you guys later!

ALL DRESSED FOR CHRISTMAS

London, that is! Whilst Baby M and I had been abandoned by the rest of the family we decided to take a stroll around the West End to enjoy all the beautiful Christmas decorations and lights. Nothing gets you in a Christmas mood more. London has a very special atmosphere this time of the year. It looks sooo beautiful, everyone is in good spirits and shops and restaurants are even busier and buzzier than normally. 

First... Oxford Street. The horrendously over crowded Oxford Street. Even that is beautiful with Christmas lights. 

Upwards and onwards; the red brick building in the middle is the very glamorous Claridge's Hotel. Such a stunning, old school hotel. I love their bar for a pre-dinner drink or their restaurant for breakfast if you fancy treating yourself for a special one.

Bond Street. A shopper's heaven if you want to find all Designer brands on one street.

Old Bond Street with all the amazing jewellery and watch displays.

My little friend who is a child who loves sitting in her buggy for like, hours! I find that amazing. Little M hated it at this age. Not complaining, it's great for long walks!

Regent's Street.

And back home past all the department stores on Oxford Street. Soon I won't be able to just walk to the West End so I wanted to do a proper stroll around whilst it's still on my doorstep. Sure there will be plenty of Christmas atmosphere in Notting Hill too though!
