Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
But it certainly suits our house at the moment. Our tree is up (and I’m sure Big B is relieved to have not been part of that circus) and the above pic is Little J’s attempt at hanging decorations. Proportion and a sense of space are not her strong points I’ve discovered. While the picture looks nice…and whoa our carpet looks like it’s never seen a 2 year old, the surrounding branches had nary a bauble on them.
And so it went. Bunches of ornaments and then giant spaces of undecorated tree.
Mummy will fix that later.
The best bit about our tree is the two presents already underneath it. Both of which are mine. One from Little J and one from Big B…which I picked out, purchased and wrapped but as we’re both happy about the situation it’s all good. I did balk a bit at the price but justified it by saying it was also a graduation present and an investment piece. And who knows, perhaps Big B will feel it’s worth it as it saved him the torture of shopping for my present and spending time in a place he compares to the depths of hell…a shopping centre.
And he’s totally going to win brownie points with his family for such a thoughtful gift.
While taking pictures of just mentioned gifts Little C saw an opportunity to be a star. I feel compelled to mention she isn’t participating in Movember but rather just indulged in a Tim Tam.
Does she look like my kid or not? She definitely gets her eyebrows from daddy. Poor thing, but not to worry, I’ve started up a ‘eyebrow wax’ trust fund for when she notices and demands they be gone.
Some other rooms in the house got the Xmas treatment as well. Big B wasn’t too impressed however when I told him the master bedroom is now decorated in pink fluffy Christmas lights.
