Happy birthday to me

(...well yesterday)
It only felt like yesterday when I was celebrating turning 18 and here I am one whole year later which to me is crazy how fast its all gone. This year, as being 19 isn't that much of a big deal I didn't really make any arrangements apart from that Tom and I were having an early Christmas as I'm heading home on the 23rd. On the 18th he picked me up after he had finished work around 11:30pm and we went to tesco to pick up all our bits and pieces for our Christmas dinner. The next morning I woke up to balloons which I wasn't expecting and 3 croissants with candles poked in them and Tom singing 'happy birthday' to me ha ha. After we had opened presents etc we then got ready to go to Costa for our favourite Christmas chocolate orange mocha latte whilst the turkey was cooking nicely in the oven. Tucking into our dinner we eventually got so stuffed we physically couldn't eat anymore and left quite a lot; oops. Afterwards we then went back to my house and chilled there for a while before I got ready to meet up with some work friends for a little drink. Overall my birthday was nothing big and spent with good people, especially Tom as he made it a very cute special day for me and I am so grateful for the presents him and his family got me.

I am literally so happy with everything I got, but now I'm wondering whats waiting for me back home as my brother is constantly ringing, teasing me about the presents there. I'm sure he is more excited to give me it than I am so receive it and I'm confused as to what it possibly could be. My Polaroid camera I am absolutely in love with it, as soon as I opened it I got it out and snapped away at Tom. The quality of the photos are so good which neither me and Tom were expecting, but I've wanted one for a very long time now and Tom knew this ha ha,
another thing ticked off the bucket list.
