Mulled Wine & Mini Christmas Puds!
After a full day of snow, Lucy and I were sure we’d be spending the evening munching on a million Christmas puds and mince pies on our own, but a few lovely ladies managed to make it up to the Christmas Party arranged by Lucy and Daniela at our house. Unfortunately Daniela herself couldn’t attend either, so with only 5 of us it was more a girly-night-in than a party!
As you can probably gather from the images, the most part was spent eating – mini Christmas puds were kindly given to us by Monkey Poodle Cakes and Lucy had made some delicious mulled wine. Of course, it isn’t Christmas without some chocolate coins so we stocked up on those too.
We were lucky enough to have to company of Kristabel, Margaret and Fiona, who came along dressed in festive colours with their presents for the secret santa. I forgot my present so I played Santa instead and gave out the gifts (do you like my rather fetching hat?!). After gorging ourselves on the table full of food, we spent far too long laughing at ourselves on “Elf Yourself“, and then finished off the night playing games and gossiping..! What else?!
Fiona was feeling camera shy, but you can see her hard-working hands above creating a Christmas playlist for us to enjoy. Oscar wasn’t up for any pictures either by the looks of it..! x
Oh man, looks like the best Christmas party ever! Brilliant photographs; looks like you’ve thought of everything. Envy.

This looks like such a lovely night! I was so disappointed I couldn’t make it – originally I was double booked but because of the snow I didn’t go to my original destination either! I stayed in with my friend and had a duvet day – which was very fun too.
These are gorge photos as ever – and I love your dress!
Wow, I am very envious of your amazing photo-taking skills Carrie – all mine were rubbish! Thank you for such a fun night, it was well worth a bit of a stomp through the snow to get there

Hi, I’m from Argentina and I really love your blog, not only the contents but also all the lovely pictures you take!
I would like to know how you make the effect of the 13th photo, that kind of circles that seems to be so good!
