A Thank You Gift

I was going to make this cake for Levi's birthday but he wanted something different so I never got to make it until today. One of my friends did me a really big favour this week so I said I'd make her a cake in return. She asked for chocolate so this is what she's getting. It's a triple decker cake covered and filled with chocolate ganache. Poor Theo was nearly in tears when I told him I'll be giving the whole thing away tomorrow.

Christmas

This is the first year we've spent Christmas day at home as we've always had to go to my parents house before.

We were really looking forward to having an enjoyable family Christmas where we could relax knowing there weren't going to be any tensions or arguments.

I bought us a Wii to share as our main present. I wasn't sure what Levi would think as he said he wanted a PS3 but in the end he really liked it.

As well as the console I bought two extra remote sets (so we can play together), Mario kart (with extra steering wheels) Lego Batman and Rabbids go home.

The kids have had so much fun playing it.

Levi's main present was a WWE 12 game for his Xbox

and Theo's was a provisional driving licence.

The missionaries came over for Christmas dinner. We bought them these very stylish Christmas ties.
