Decorating for Christmas 2023

 It's time! The tree is up and we have decorated the house with our old favourite Christmas decorations and a few new ones. The theme is a palette of gold, white, green and silver. Lots of Christmas villages, gingerbread houses, various types of Christmas trees and reindeer are scattered around the house. 

Decorations have been collected over the years but are mainly from Adairs, Target, Pottery Barn Australia with the Christmas tree and garlands from Balsam Hill.

We are well and truly in the festive spirit!

Do you have your tree up yet?

Tis the season - our Christmas decorations 2019

" It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

The festive season has arrived and we've pulled out all of our favourite Christmas decorations and adorned our home with a festive feel.

It's so lovely to see the familiar ornaments each year with a few new additions thrown in.

I love to set up the tree first and fluff it, have the ornaments spread out on the table ready for the boys to help me hang them. Our tree is pre-lit so there is no Christmas light tangle to deal with!

We popped on some Christmas pj's, had the carols playing and decked the halls with faux garlands, mini christmas trees and a reindeer here and there.......

My ornament collection has been picked up over the years from Target, Big W, Adairs, Domayne, Pottery Barn and Kmart. 

Our elf Melvin returned with his own little family ready for adventures and to amuse the boys in the lead up to Christmas. Everyone is on their best behaviour!

Tis the season....Christmas 2017

The tree is up, a few presents have been wrapped and are waiting beneath it, garlands are hanging from the mirrors + doorways and Melvin our "Elf on the Shelf" has made an appearance. 

The festive season has begun!

It's always lovely to pull out the decorations each Christmas. We've been collecting them from various places over the years. The younger boys really enjoy decorating the tree and choosing the perfect spot for each one.

They also wrote their letters to Santa with a cool little kit that has special paper that you shrink in the oven to a tiny size so the elves can pick them up and take them back to the North Pole.

Melvin our elf will deliver their letters to Santa Claus and come back each day to hang around the house to make sure the boys are on their best behaviour. A full report goes back to Santa each night! 

Have you got your tree up yet?
