Snow, the London Eye and celebrity sightings!!!!

The day started off great!! I was on the phone to mum around 8am and looked out the window and it was snowing!!! So I rushed upstairs and woke Byron and Kate up and made Byron get out of bed (much to his disgust!!) and come outside with me to experience it!! I loved it, but he didnt put shoes on (silly boy!!!) so he didnt last outside too long because he was freezing!!! I cant wait until it snows a bit more heavily!!!

Today me and Byron set off about lunch time to go do the London Eye!! We had lunch at a beautiful little Italian restaurant on the river and shared a bottle of red which was lovely :) We went for a wander at the Christmas markets/stalls along the river which I loved cause I love Christmas so much! Then at around 3pm we wandered over to the London Eye and went for a spin. As you can see by the sunsetting in the photos, it is completely dark by 3:45pm if not earlier most days (crazy London!) Here's some photos of the amazing view we had over London...

And here's us again! (Please note dear Byza was doing Mo-vemeber, hence the ugly Mo which is now gone, thankfully!!)
Then we went for a wander around and took some photos of London at night...
Me with Big Ben and Houses of Parliament....
Byza with Houses of Parliament....
And now its raining, grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Byza with Big Ben......
And now London Eye and the River Thames...
And me!!
Then we strolled up to Trafalgar Square where the National Museum was looking oh so pretty all lit up!
Typical tourist phone box shot in Leciester Square!
And as luck would have it, as we were strolling through Leciester Square we noticed a small crowd of people, we walked over and just in time too... it was the Premiere of Madagascar 2 and we saw Ben Stiller!!! The back of his head is the best shot we could get.... but still we saw him and we were SOOOOO excited!!! It was my first celebrity siting since being in London- finally, 5 months later!!
We also saw Chris Rock and Jada Pinket-Smith but seeing Ben Stiller was the most exciting of all of them!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!
Dinner time was calling so we went to our favourite little restaurant in Leicester Square and had a drink and some dinner.... here' s us with our drinks waiting for our dinner!
After dinner and a stroll up through Picadilly Circus and Oxford Circus it was time to head home because it was Sunday night and Kelly still hadnt done her washing for work the next day, D'OH!!!!
