Lately - the pre Christmas edition!


The boys have been on holidays for a few weeks now and we are getting into a slower holiday rhythm. As the countdown to Christmas is on the boys are getting VERY excited for the big day!

I thought I'd do a quick round up of a few things we've been up to lately.....

Our elves have been busy each night and give us a giggle each morning when we find them in their different activities.



I love the other Christmas touches around the house, like the cushions in the boy's bedrooms....


The circus is in town and we had a great night watching all of the circus acts,  listening to the Christmas songs and riding the dodgems, slides and having a go on the clowns.



We visited Santa while we were at the shops, the boys discussed their Christmas wish lists.



I wanted a photo with all 3 boys with Santa but everyone's schedule didn't match up.
So I improvised!


We did a little bit of baking and made some chocolate Christmas trees and fun little Christmas chocolates.




We went out one night to look at all of the Christmas lights, it's always a great way to get into the festive spirit.




Hydrangeas always say Christmas to me so I got a bunch for Christmas Day.


And on unrelated Christmas news the building work on our apartment above our garage has begun. The slab has been laid and the other work will begin in January. 



We've also been keeping up with all the bush fire news and praying for rain soon to help put out all of the fires. So thankful and appreciative for all of the hard work the fire fighters have been doing.

How have you been lately? x

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care........

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

So the babes are in bed sleeping, waiting for Santa.
I think it was the easiest bed time ever!

 We had a late night last night as we went into the city to see the Christmas Lights at St Mary's Cathedral. They were absolutely beautiful! There was something about the gorgeous architecture of the building and the combination of the lights.

Here are some photos from tonight.





Don't you just love the magic of Christmas Eve?
