CHRISTMAS!! - yes it deserves capitals!

One of the greatest things about being a mum comes to light during this time of the year. I love Christmas and having a child makes Christmas that little bit better. The look on my daughters face when I turn the tree lights on in the evening is priceless. She may be too young to understand the meaning of Christmas. She may even be too young to understand the exciting thing about a present isn't the wrapping paper, but it is all just so amazing. Today was the first day she attempted to open the presents when my back was turned. They have been sat under the tree for a while, I was very organised this year, but today she went for them. I must admit i giggled a fair bit, it was like she knew she was being naughty. She would look around to see who was watching and then tear it a little. It took me a while to recover all the scattered tags but i didn't mind. The excitement in the last few days before the BIG day is immense. I have never looked at my advent calendar with such anticipation. 

Our tree!
I must mention Olivia didn't take to the tree right away. She was actually quite scared of it at first. 
Anyway, I am far to excited to keep typing but I thought i would wish anyone reading a:
VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS
&
A FABULOUS NEW YEAR!

If you have children cherish it!
