I'm dreaming of a White Chris...... Birthday!

I'm currently writing this from the comfort of my sofa waiting whilst Naomi makes me some lovely steak and chips for my birthday meal.... today being my birthday by the way! Well I shall start by saying what us Devonshire Hodges have been up to this week!

Sunday was Mutley Baptists Chris-tingle service the Chris-tingle being a symbolic object used to show advent. Well basically the end product is a Orange, wrapped in a ribbon, with a candle on it and some sweeties attached... well from the following two Christ-tingles belonging to me and Naomi... which do you think belongs to who?


(note one with sweets and one without!)


The next major event of the week (yes we lead very exciting lives) which occurred the very same evening... me and Naomi made our first roast as a married couple! I know shock horror its actually taken us over 4 months to get around to making our first roast! Well the roast was really a slap up meal consisting of the same ingredients that a roast is made out of (chicken, potatoes, carrots etc). The end product was tasty tasty tasty so that's all that mattered!



Well the rest of the week consisted of me having work Christmas doo's! Ooooh and Naomi got offered a job! Which was nice!

This leading nicely up to the second most important birthday in December... MY BIRTHDAY! Today it decided to snow, which was nice so we were obviously forced into going for a walk on Dartmoor:



The rest of today is going to consist of me and Naomi getting fat and full on some tasty food and watching ELF to get us all Christmassy! Fun times!

It's Christmas in the Hodge house hold!

So the 9th of December has marked a magical moment in our marriage and both of our lives... we bought our first Christmas Tree! GASP!



We decided that we'd go for a small tree, and Naomi created and added her home made decorations... so its a classic team Hodge DIY job. Some could say it looks tacky, but we say its made from love!



We also went for another walk this weekend but we didn't get wet... SCORE!



Other than the Christmas Tree and the Walk we haven't actually done much since the last update... well obviously we have actually done stuff like we've eaten food, gone to work and gone food shopping etc, but other than that we're just looking forward to the Christmas break. I think I've set a personal record for my Christmas shopping this year of getting all mine done within 30min... all credit goes to Amazon!

That is all thanks for reading!
