a modern christmas

Yesterday was Christmas and we celebrated with Arwen, Uncle Scott and Aunty Emma (happy birthday, Aunty Emma)

For the first time in weeks everyone slept in so there was no present opening until nearly 7am!

Santa visited and left a note for Arwen and I . He ate some of the Snoopy Gingerbread Dog Houses we left out for him

Then we skyped Nan and Pop one on each ipad while we opened our gifts

We had a nice lunch with Turkey and Ham and Jaffa Birthday cake - yum yum!

Snow dayz

After a lovely little snow storm on Sunday today we had no school because of the snow

Crazy squirrels out in the snow in our backyard

I got to stay home with Daddy in front of the fire while Mummy went to work

Yummy popcorn!

It's beginning to look a lot like..

Christmas!

I've been quite excited about the prospect of Christmas for about a month now and am so glad it is now December.

Yesterday we topped off a trip to the movies to see 'Frozen' with a trip to pick up a real live Christmas tree.

It is so tall it hits our ceiling and Daddy had to trim the top so our Angel could fit on top.

I helped mummy with the decorations while we listened to Christmas carols.

One day closer to Santa.

Daddy likes to pretend he's a Grinch but he has been getting into the spirit this year

Perfect snowflake placement is very important

and Mummy adds the Angel
