A Northern Irish Christmas

This year, we did Christmas in three places!

We first went to Belfast, then Bournemouth, and then Manchester. 

Let me take you up to Belfast quick.

When we first arrived into Nathan's mom's house, I just loved all the decor. She is incredibly crafty!

I particularly love that leaf cube! Nathan's mom is basically Pinterest in real life. She makes anything look cute. 

While I was waiting for Nathan to arrive, I was with our friend, who has a business named Baked Blessings, and she taught me how to decorate cupcakes!

We did Christmas dinner Irish style, and boy it was the best! We went over to Nathan's sister's house and had such a delicious meal!

The decoration was so lovely and amazing! I'm currently obsessed with the minimal aesthetic. (As well as pink obvs, if you've seen my Instagram you'll know haha)

Ah I'm obsessed with fireplaces now! 

We began eating the wonderful feast and the turkey was on point, the sweet potatoes wonderfully bathed in the cream and the vegetables cooked to a crisp. Delicious! 

We all moved onto dessert, which were the cupcakes I made. I love cupcakes!

Some of us went to sit, but I opted for playing the mini bowling with the guys, and it was a lot harder than you'd think! But so fun!

We then sat down and opened presents, and Nathan and I were both quite delighted.

We also went to the Belfast Christmas market, and they had such different things, I was impressed! 

How cute is that Hello Kitty!

They had a snowglobe that you can climb in which was adorable and so cool! 

They had yummy foods too! I tasted some cinnamon popcorn too, and it was delicious!

And how cute are these succulents!

I LOVE succulents, and these were cute!

Anyways, I just thought I'd update you guys on how my week has gone. How was your Christmas?

Ps, thanks Josh for taking photos of the Christmas dinner for me! 

I'll be back again soon!

Love you all,

Nataly

“and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.”
