My Princesses :)

Growing up is one of the many wonders of the world, going from a teeny baby to an old person; although this happens over many years you never really understand the process of growing up until you see it in someone else. This year my nephew reached his fifth birthday and my niece her second: to see my beautiful babies grow up is so beautiful, I've watched them grow into their own person and gain their personality. I've watched them at their naughtiest (and sometimes encouraged it to annoy my sister! ha-ha) and I've also watched them learn from mistakes as everyone does through their life, only minor mistakes for example putting their shoes on the wrong feet!
 
Over the last few weeks I have seen my beauties grow- these being my best friends puppies, before going to university my best friends Westie, Bella, was expecting puppies and they were due around Christmas time, another reason to be excited for coming home! On November 20th my beautiful balls of fluff were born, Bella had three puppies but one sadly died :( and the others were born about 2 hours later, when the family thought no more were there! I remember going home that weekend just to see them, and oh my- they were so small and felt like my own baby: the rush of love I already got from one glace at my princesses was magical! I have watched them grow and adapt into the cheeky personalities they are now at almost 6 weeks old. They have grown from the size of my hand and don't seen to stop growing, I've watched as their eyes slowly open and their fur starts to grow, their first steps being taken and their teeth starting to grow: one of them is the cheekiest while the other is more reserved and scared although slowly is getting more playful. 
 
They really are my Christmas Princesses!

'tis the season to be jolly...

So, it's Christmas time and I'm home in Lampeter! wooo :) 
It's so nice to be back and to spend this festive time with my family, friends, people closest to me and most importantly to relax and take a break from university (even though I do miss my hall mates!). The build up to Christmas is so exciting, wrapping presents, the Christmas music in every shop, and all the bright lights! I woke up on Christmas morning and the hype had definitely built in the house, the smell of food cooking and all the presents under the tree! The day was spent with my best people: my family although I did have the flu so it did put a downer on the day :( 
So the day has been and gone- way too fast for my liking and the pounds are slowly piling on but hey it is Christmas! :))
