Our tree was up by the end of November. Toddy went and cut it down, donning hi vis and strapping it to the roof. My hero!
The excitement level this year is up a notch! Will has a million and one questions about Santa. How does he.... ? Where does he....? Is Santa actually real?
We've had mangoes galore, home made fruit icy poles and a little advent calendar giving a small activity for each day (or a chocolate or book when I've not had the time!) Slow afternoons after quiet time, lots of cuddles and Aussie Jingle Bells on repeat. Games of "pretend to be asleep!" while the boys play Santa.
And Flynn, the most perfect little Christmas present for our family. To think this time last year we were a little overwhelmed with a 7 week old secret meaning we'd have three babies back to back. But he has bought a calm to our family and I'm so aware of how special a tiny baby at Christmas is and given it is most likely our last, I'm trying to soak it all up!
