So this is Christmas & what have we done? Oh no I'm writing in Christmas song lyrics!! Haha! We finally have our tree that's what we've done! We went to buy it this afternoon & got a rather gorgeous 6 foot real Nordman tree for a bargain price. (Lee says we got a better deal this year coz I went instead of him! I must say they went out of their way to make sure the tree wasn't leaning over like last year's was!) Squashed tree into front seat of car as back seats full of children & boot too small & then squished myself into the seat behind the tree & lay almost horizontal as had had to recline seat to get tree in! It was most uncomfortable but very amusing! Arrived home & began decorating the house......
First Lee & Timmy put up the window lights.....
...& once switched on Luke shouted 'Happy Birthday!'
Next in came the tree....
...which the boys decorated with great enthusiasm! (This picture is Luke trying to reach up to put crackers on the branches!)
This is gorgeous Jordan also decorating the tree beautifully.
And Jordan posing for a photo in front of the finished tree. He is wearing an angel halo that he will wear at church tomorrow for the children's nativity procession that I am leading! (Eeek!)
Luke took an instant love of the singing Father Christmas that Lee's mum bought for all three boys last year & didn't let it our of his sight until bedtime (when he reluctantly left it downstairs because I told him he couldn't take it to bed). Luke snuggled up to Lee after the tree was decorated & they enjoyed a cozy father son moment. Gorgeous! Timmy spent most of the afternoon playing with a small fibre optic tree that sits on a car dashboard. he loved switching it on & off 'all by myself' as he said. All in all a great time was had by us all decorating the tree for the first time as a family of 5. And now we are all excited & feeling festive!
Just to let you all know (coz I know you have been lying awake at night wondering!) that the hairy grass heads we planted a few weeks back have sprouted & now have fabulous green hair! the boys loved planting & making the heads & have also enjoyed watering them & playing with them. A great present - thanks Sharon! :O)Well, I may not get to post again till after christmas Day so have a great Christmas & a very Happy New Year.
God bless you all! :O)
