It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas



Today is the 1st of December, one of my favourite days of the year. And even more exciting that this year we have two special little men to share it with. Today we are going to put up our Christmas tree and decorate the house, i'm so excited. Yes i'm just a big kid at heart. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year and this year seems even more exciting.

I took the boys down to Westfields this morning to visit Santa. We tried last week with Cooper but he didn't want to know about the scary man all dressed in red with that scary beard. Well that was until he realised he was going to get a chocolate out of it. But still even with Cooper's favourite treat used as a bribe he wouldn't sit on his knee. So i've been talking about Santa ever since and trying to make light of it all so I think he's actually been really excited about going down today. He was still very hesitant at the start but after seeing his little friend Caitlin go up to Santa with confidence I think he realised that he wasn't that scary after all. I was so pleased because he smiled away confidently once he was up there and we managed to get a gorgeous shot of both boys on his knee. My gorgeous boys looked so cute and it reminded me how many amazing and fun Christmas's we are going to share in the future together.


Here are some gorgeous shots that Caroline took of the boys. These are the ones i'll use for our Christmas cards this year. You can tell i'm getting super festive this year, can't you??





So when Luke get's home from work we are all going to put the Christmas tree up and fill the house with lots of red and gold ornaments. All of which i'm sure Cooper will drive me up all with trying to grab over the next month.
