A happy ending to a sad week

Late upload, didn't realise this was in my drafts! 14th August 2016

Hey guys!
So as you might of seen on my Facebook and Instagram pages - @_raisingaprincess or on my personal accounts Nicole-Amelia Gater and @_nicoleamelia its been another very busy week in our household. We had Liam's Grandads funeral at the start of the week which was so intense and so so sad. Liam's grandad was American and so Liam has a lot of American family some of which flew over to be at the funeral so it was nice to meet them all. Liam's grandad also lived in Cambridge and that is where the funeral was held so it was a long old drive up there. We drove up to Cambridge with Liam's older sister Alannah and overall it was a nice drive. I never actually met Liam's grandad I went to the funeral to support Liam but even I felt emotional at the funeral as it was a burial and it was hard to see people I love so upset.

I visited my Grandad again this week which was lovely and he is absolutely loving seeing me and Aiyanna-Rose more often than he used to which I'm happy about. Aiyanna is becoming very good friends with my Nan and Grandads gigantic black cat Slash.

 
I know, I know.. Most grandparents have a cat called buttons or marmalade. My grandparents didn't actually name Slash. It was my uncle James as his favourite artist is called Slash. 

Friday night, my mum had Aiyanna-Rose stay overnight and she had such a good time spending quality time with her nanny and two uncles Logan and Mason. Aiyanna had home made Spag Bol, watched lots of peppa pig, raided nannys fruit bowl for every last banana and wore everyone out. Although my mum reports that she slept like an angel! 

Well, me and Liam decided to go on a date night and it was amazing! We drank lots of cocktails, vodka and disaronno and then ate some beautiful food at Bella Italia. We then went to the arcade and had so much fun in the photo booth. We actually won 4 teddy's in the arcade machines which we brought home for Aiyanna. I really wanted to get the Finding Dory teddy for Aiyanna but the machine was out of use - wah! So instead Liam won a green pig from angry birds which Aiyanna is absolutely petrified of and I won 3 little ones a pig, a bird and a giraffe which Aiyanna isn't the slightest bit interested in. But hey ho! Atleast we won. Finally we went to the cinema to watch the new film out called Nerve. It was absolutely amazing! 5 stars from us guys. 

Yesterday, I went to town with my mum, my brothers and Aiyanna and we went on a shopping spree. Anyone who knows me knows how much of a shop-a-holic I am so this reallllly satisfied me! It was such a nice day and I came home very happy ☺️ all I had really was bags full of clothes for Aiyanna and some bath products but for a mum that's got an addiction to shopping this is a win. And now today on this very fine Sunday I am sat about to finish up this blog and then I need to do a huge blitz on my house from top to bottom.

Hope you all had a good week!
