One Month to Go!

The Christmas season is upon us, just have a look around our house! Decorations abound from top to bottom and the kids are super excited for what is everyone's favourite time of year. Isabelle has Santa Claus on her mind and has been very inquisitive about how he does his nightly rounds on Christmas Eve. She got home from school the other day to discover her room had received the festive treatment, complete with a mini-tree adorned with lights and decorations, her Rudolph towel, winter-themed PJs and Santa slippers . She shrieked with delight, "It's like Christmas in my room!". Oliver has been much more focused on the arrival of Thomas. We have a mini-track and a snowy Thomas that is made to go around the base of the tree. With no tree yet, it has been set up in his room and we wish anyone the best of luck if they want to move it! He LOVES it and spends much of his available time sitting in the middle of the track watching Thomas chug his way along the rails. About the only thing that can take him away is joining his sister to play with their new nativity scene. He loves the animals and Isabelle has been playing the tune to wake us every morning this week. It's going to be so much fun over the coming weeks watching these two enjoy the season together. All we need is some snow to make things complete. Happy holidays, yes indeed!

Having a laugh with their new holiday pals


Two different Christmas traditions converge


Still a few weeks before baby Jesus makes his appearance


You try getting him to stop long enough to put some clothes on!

Ugh, this just makes me sad. I can't believe we won't be seeing them for Christmas :(
