Merry Christmas!

   

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas lovely people. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and support over the last year. xx

Winter brights...

 

 

 

A walk along the beach and through some nearby park gardens, so lovely to still see so much colour there at this time of year. I just love that combination of the bright pink and orange.

I'm so glad Elizabeth has broken up for the Christmas break now, we are very much ready for the holidays! Today we have all come down with colds and sore throats and are feeling pretty rubbish. Though at least we should all have it over with for Christmas!

Hope you all have a great weekend. Only four more sleeps now! x

Its beginning to look like Christmas here! We now finally have our tree up and have pretty much finished the decorating in our lounge. I looked out all the old decorations we had when I was little and some that were my nans too, as well as our newer ones. Elizabeth loved looking through them all and was so excited about decorating the tree. I had to find somewhere to put it first though, this year is the first we have had a real tree and its gorgeous but they do take up a bit more space.

Its lovely to see Elizabeth so excited this year, she really understands everything and is taking an interest in all the little traditions in the build up to Christmas. She has very patiently opened a door on her calendar every day, full of excitement every morning to open another. Archie's however lasted about five minutes with all but about three of the doors pulled off.

I think I'm just about getting there with Christmas preparations, though its always those last few bits and bobs to do that end up taking so long. I'm just looking forward to the holidays now, having the hectic bit over with and spending some time with the family to just chill out and watch cheesy Christmas movies.

I hope all your preperations are going well and you are enjoying the run up to Christmas. x

A walk along the beach yesterday, enjoying just a little sunshine. I don't feel like we have been out much lately - we've been so busy at home trying to get the decorating finished and generally getting ready for Christmas so it made a nice change. The waves there were enormous and we stood for some time watching them in amazement. They were so loud too as they pulled all the shingle away with them down the beach.

 

And of course there was treasure to be found. Elizabeth took this complete shell home with her for her show and tell at school, along with pockets full of other bits and pieces.

Thank you if you commented on this last post, I somehow managed to loose my page while uploading the photos and didn't realise it had published a few. But yes I do have snow on my blog - the little flakes change direction with the cursor, though they dont always seem to appear! I used this simple link here, if anyone else fancies some little snowflakes falling on their blog. Hope you all have a great week. x
