So weird!!

I've been moderating comments regularly but one just popped up from Val for december 2nd!!!  About Laurence having a warped mind and my kids growing up fast????  ;)    What IS up with Blogger??????

O Christmas Tree...



This tree above is in the sitting room/ family room.




This tree is in the dining room.  There will be a train going around the bottom of it - we're still waiting for it to arrive!!  We've given up pushing the bottom branches up - you can see where the kitten keeps climbing on them and they are hanging unevenly lol!




This is the children's tree and was decorated totally by the them this year - most years I help (re-do it subtley lol) but this year I let them do it all - lights, tinsel, decorations!!!  We didn't hang ANY of our precious decorations on it this year because of the kitten :(  I miss seeing our special ornaments but it's important they don't get broken!!!  This poor tree is a bit old now and I think we might need a new one next year - it's looking a bit worse for wear this year :(  I think thats why I let the children have fun decorating it :)  I try not to cringe too much when I look at it - I try to smile instead and hide my perfectionist side when I see the tinsel plonked on and the ornaments all on the same branches or all on one side ;)

It's beautiful because my children decorated it  ;)

A little bit of yumminess.....






I'm sat here having a cuppa and one of Tara's  fabulous Whipped Shortbreads!!  I've made a version of these for the last few years - ever since I've had my kitchen aid mixer, but when I saw Taras recipe earlier I just HAD to try them out :)

As you can see, Sam and I tried one warm out of the oven too :)  Yummy :)  Well, what else can you do with the broken ones????  ;)

Sam is wearing what he announced at LEAST three times to me this morning is a "T-SHIRT WITH A HOOD MOM!!!  ISN'T THAT COOL???  AND WHATS GREAT IS WHEN A TREE FALLS ON THE HOUSE IT WILL KEEP ME DRY!!!"

?????????

Anyway Tara - the kids say thank you for todays after school snack ;)  and I thank you for my afternoon snack with my cuppa ;)  Lloyd doesn't thank you for the fact he now has to buy me bigger pants ;)
