1 December and up she goes!

BritMumInNZ

With all three of my lovely cherubs at home with snuffly summer colds today we  took the opportunity to dig out the Christmas decorations from under the stairs.

It was fun, messy and a little bit tiring…

Work in progress

The big boxes made for some fun dens and helped to keep Alice distracted long enough for me to put up the tree and drape the lights round.

Unpacking the Christmas decorations Alice's first Christmas!

The end result magical…

The tree is up with a little fairy underneath!

But this little tree fairy was uncharacteristically exhausted with all the excitement and fell asleep on the sofa!

Hope she’s well enough for her school visit tomorrow morning, she is so looking forward to it.  Summer colds shoo, shoo away, but  kinda nice to have my gals home to play and share the joy of putting up the decorations.  Time to cuddle my snuffle bugs, eat some dinner and hope for a good night’s sleep without too many coughs and sniffles.

Sweet Christmas dreams…

A very tired tree fairy

  2. I know how they feel! I’ve still got a cold from Spring! Tree looks fabulous. Hope they are all better soon!

  4. Poor wee things :[ Abby’s had a chest infection and had to have antibiotics. Summer colds suck especially because it’s so nice outside but you can’t enjoy it when you’re sick!
    I can’t wait until my bub’s old enough to enjoy the Christmas festivities.
    Hope they get well soon!

  6. Oh go away colds and sniffles there is so much more fun to be had. Hope that they are feeling better soon. JT

  8. Thanks so much and hope your pregnancy is going well x I’m sure you’ll have a very special Christmas with Abby this year 🙂

  9. Thanks so much Julie. They are dosed up with medicine tonight and we’re hoping they sleep better – they’ve certainly had a busy day! x

  10. Thanks Meghan, she did enjoy her visit – very excited! Alice enjoyed it too (missed her nap and was surprisingly well behaved – just tried to wreck a few paintings…). I was desperate for coffee and so relieved when the morning tea bell went (parents have to attend school visits – thankfully they are only a couple of hours long!). Afterwards we nipped down to Lyall Bay – one large latte wasn’t enough – I followed up with a regular straight after! xx

  12. Thanks so much. They are still running around like crazy most of the time… takes a lot to slow them down. I have to keep reminding them to take it easy, otherwise they try to make their bodies do what their heads want; and they end up getting grumpy when their bodies refuse to cooperate! x
