001 - On New Year's Day we went to my parents house for lunch and I got to wear the beautiful necklace and earring set that the children (and of course the Mister) bought me for Christmas. It's absolutely stunning and I was delighted to be have the chance to wear it out and show it off, I love it - especially as I wasn't even expecting any gifts.
002 - The weather has been a bit on the rubbish side (you may have noticed this yourself of course) so we have been in hibernation. E took the opportunity to get creative and she drew me this picture which says 'Mum heart Erica', and 'I heart Mum' which I thought was very sweet. She also added an evil flower (what else?) and some little old ladies, that I have been assured are not portraits of me.
003 - The weather is still rubbish, so my niece F came to visit and play with E (read: keep E occupied so I can get some things done) and they had a great time making chocolate bark with some leftover Christmas goodies from the snack cupboard as well as drawing & colouring, and acting out Disney's Frozen from start to finish. They're both almost word perfect for the dialogue as well as the songs. They may have watched the movie just a few times...
Lovely photos! That necklace is gorgeous!
