1. We spent a majority of our holidays preparing for a very exciting home project we’re involved in. More to come in a few months.
2. A Christmas baptism.
3. I am absolutely loving my new camera lens.
4. Unfortunately not everyone knows how to use it. An out of focus photo of me on Christmas Night.
1. It began last night. I woke up to the pitter patter of drops…
2. …and oh, how I love thee, rain.
3. Breakfast.
4. I have had this wreath for over six years.It is handmade, unique and I can’t remember where I got it.
5. There are currently five different light strings on my tree. Only two of them work.
Georgie’s introduction to the world of theatre took place a few months ago when papa and I took him to see The Little Prince. I absolutely adore the book and knew that despite Georgie’s young age I wanted it to be the first memory he has of the theatre. Needless to say, he loved the experience and has been requesting another trip to the theatre since.
I wish I could say our Christmas week was a magical one full of traditions and outings now that papa is on his feet but alas fate had something a little different planned. Up until Boxing Day, my dad was in hospital with serious flu symptoms and I have pharyngitis.
I thank my lucky stars I was well enough for my first Santa duty- I teared up more than once thinking about my childhood Christmas memories and how happy it makes me to be able to pass these on to Georgie. Christmas morning was just as exciting. Georgie showed a surprising amount of interest in most of what Santa dragged down the chimney but he seemed to be a bit worried about Santa’s disapproval of our cookies! ‘Why didn’t he eat them all, mama?’
Alot has been cancelled or postponed since papa’s surgery but thankfully not a little Christmas gathering with good friends last night. A good laugh with a friends goes a long way.
Happy holidays to all!
