Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree...

 Okay so I know that traditionally your meant to put up "the tree" on the 1st of December but we just couldn't wait :P

It's the first Saturday in a while that we had nothing planned other than a family day at home. We thought it was a great opportunity to embrace the festive season while enjoying some quality family time at home.

The munchkins were more than happy to get stuck into tree building and decorating, they proudly accepted their "elf helper hats" and helped Mummy and Daddy create our Christmas tree.

They have been soooo excited every time they have seen a Christmas tree in the shopping centres that they were almost beside themselves when we were finally building ours.

They did get a little confused though and thought that it would be just fine and dandy to take the finished tree, decorated and all from the lounge room out to the backyard for a play outside...lol

You can probably see from the photo's that they were very careful when choosing what decorations would go on the tree next and where they would go.

It was too cute when Declan found a small hanging wooden tree decoration that he insisted had to stand next to the big tree on the floor rather than hang from the tree.
Gees, how wrong would that be ...A tree hanging in a tree!!!lol

We got there in the end though and our tree is up, the special star put in place by Thalia, special homemade decoration's hanging and lights shinning.....yay Christmas is nearly here!







One of Declan's handmade decoration's- some green cardboard,
Mummy's help tracing his little hand, gloopy glue, special sparkles
and lots of LOVE :)

 

One of Thalia's homemade decoration's- a circle of green cardboard
transformed though her crafty little hands, gloopy glue, a love of all
things girly and the wonder of a child's mind :)


While packing up the toys tonight Declan made it clear that all the babies were to sleep under the tree!
