Sparklers and Hot Chocolate!

After a long day at work on Saturday I was so excited to get home and enjoy an evening of sparklers and hot chocolate cosiness!

We made sure to get lots of sparklers this year as Skye really enjoyed them last year and we ran out! However this year she wasn't too sure if she enjoyed them or not! (TYPICAL!!) She enjoyed watching Dom do one then thought she would be brave and do one herself and she loved it! (phew!!)

It was super cold out though and Leo was going totally crazy all evening at any noise he heard! Once he hears one firework he is completely anxious for the whole evening, it's so horrible seeing him so on edge and upset, if he's not barking then he's whimpering. Poor poochi!

Once we had finished outside doing all the sparklers we came inside to have our hot chocolate which I had prepared early using the slow cooker recipe I had found online.. so yummy!! I will  make sure to share the recipe on here soon as it's so easy and so nice to have it ready when you want it!

Here are a few photos from our bonfire night!

Skye's First Halloween

I was VERY excited for halloween this year as it was Skye's first halloween!!

We bought her costume a few weeks before and I couldn't wait to put her in it! She loved it when we tried it on her! I knew I wanted to make it a great day and have great photos to remember it! Even though I know some people don't like halloween or see what all the fuss is about, I personally love it, and love any excuse to dress up, decorate the house and have fun! 

So.. that's what we did! We decorated, we dressed up and we sure had fun! We got Skye into her outfit that morning and as it was such a beautiful day decided to venture to the park to take her halloween pictures as we thought it would look great and autumny! We packed the pumpkins into the car and drove just round the corner! (who wants to carry all those pumpkins!!) Only when we got there we noticed that the patch of grass just outside of the entrance to the park looked way better and there were a lot of kids in the park so we decided to do our photos here instead! It was perfect!! Lots of leaves and the sun was shining!! :) Skye was an angel as always and loved playing with the leaves and pumpkins as me and Dom took pictures of her. 

We then had a mini party in the evening, and Skye got to see her first fireworks before she went to bed! :)

Can't wait for Christmas with her now, even though it will be her second Christmas, this year she may be a little more interested!! 

Anyway here are some photos from the day!
