Hi Guys,
It took 4 days, but Monday night we finally managed to finish putting our Christmas decorations up!
After we put the children to bed on Friday, I put the tree and lights up, but decided not to decorate it properly so that our children could help us.
Saturday morning we all went downstairs together, Jake wondered into the living room and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his hand then went to his mouth and the loudest gasp came from his mouth! He then pointed to the tree and said “Dadda, look!” At this point I think that Mia was more interested in a cushion on the sofa!
After this we had our daily dosage of Christmas songs and managed to put our novelty decorations up around the house. This included a singing teddy in a Santa suit, a singing penguin, a singing Santa and a toy Rudolf and an over excited 2 year old, unfortunately we were unable to put up the tree decorations.
Josh, on the other hand, is getting to the age where he still likes Christmas, but at 12 is to cool to get over excited about it. At one point Jake had Josh trapped in the living room, surrounded by all the novelty toys and set them all off at the same time, poor Josh just didn’t know what was happening!
Sunday we were still unable to put the decorations up as we went down to visit Louise’s Dad. Jake decided he wanted to bring Rudolf with him, who Louise’s Dad mistook for a pig!
Monday evening when I got back from work, we were finally able to put the decorations up. I asked Jake if he wanted to help and he told me that he wants to put tomatoes on the tree! I’ve still no idea where that came from!!
To keep Mia involved, she helped me put the star on at the end!!
I am starting to get really excited about Christmas now, it’s just a shame that my work colleagues tell me to be quiet every time I start singing!
Snow is falling, all around me………………….
Thanks
Darren
