Goodness aren't the days flying by!? We have ramped up the activites with a Guide carol concert, choir singing at the Salvation Army toy service, school carol service, trip to the theatre and that's just The Big Sister!
We have been enjoying the advent calendar activites and I'm glad I planned the 'big' things well so we had time to enjoy them. Ice skating was a huge success with much squealing when the envelope was opened.
It was such fun, much harder than I remembered - or maybe I'm just more nervous about falling over!
We made a flurry of flakes to brighten up the window and once all the lights were working decorated the tree.
Teachers' presents were made and delivered and in a little over an hour the children finish school, hurrah!
With the house decorated and Christmas music playing all we need is a little more snow. We had a mini snowstorm for half an hour yesterday but that was all, not enough for snowman building or sledging.
We made some more of those magazine trees that were all over blogland last year, a great way of using up all those brochures that come through the door.
Right, cards to write or they wont arrive till 2010!!
