So after a really manic few weeks (haven't even had chance to blog) it was so lovely to wake up today and to make a start on decorating the house in readiness for Christmas.
OK so I know that 1st December might be a little early for some but I looooovvveeee Christmas and especially having my lovely decorations up.
Nothing nicer than a twinkling house at this time of year.
I also had to pop into town for more Christmas shopping and had to give up and catch the bus home when my arms couldn't hold any more bags.
So the tree is up. Nat was very excited to see the pretty lights and tinsel and he was very helpful at putting baubles on the tree - all at the bottom of course!!
Thankfully Seb is now nearly as tall as me and was able to ensure the rest of the tree was evenly decorated.
We had the Christmas music playing and David and I both had a glass of martini while we worked.
David had the fun job of assembling our reindeer and sleigh lights.
Seb found a couple of old Christmas crackers which he insisted that he and Nat needed to pull at dinner tonight - something about celebrating 'putting up the Christmas tree day'!
Nat was delighted with his cracker toy and later pulled up his little wicker chair in front of the Christmas tree to wait for father Christmas. Poor love, he doesn't realise he has to wait another 24 days!!
Oh and I bought a Christmas candle in town today - we will light it each night and watch it burn down until we get to Christmas day!!
This evening I helped Seb make a Christmas present for Grandma.
Still haven't made a start on the Christmas cards but I have put a layer of marzipan on my Christmas cake so I am gradually ticking things of the Christmas to do list!
Was supposed to bake a cake today in honour of my friend Ali who is coming over tomorrow but she may have to make so with a hurriedly bought shop one as I simply ran out of time!!
