It's Here! It's Here!

The most anticipated thing in our house since October has been Christmas! So you can image the relief in our house when December 1st FINALLY rolled around!

Straightening out the branches
Singing Christmas Carols

Taking particular care to place each ornament in exactly the right place!

Dressing up for the occasion

Cheese

Guess who?

This is our miniature tree. This year I decided we would put the big tree in the formal lounge where it can be seen through the window and put a little kid friendly one in the family room so the kids can maul it and I wont stress!

We had to consult last years Christmas tree raising ceremony photos to see who had hung the star last year and we found out it was Matthew's turn to do the honours this year. He is still no quite tall enough but it wont be long apparently!

So Daddy helped!

Then it was off to calm to the children down for the next 24 days and reassure them that there is no way possible that Santa will come early. But I would advise them to be on their very, very best behaviour cos it might, maybe possibly, could happen if they were super, super, stupendously well behaved and treated their mother like a goddess for the next few weeks!!
