This week has been all about getting ready for Christmas. I've yet to write/post out cards however our Christmas present shopping has finished and we are now in full swing of getting other Christmas bits sorted out. We put up our tree on Monday which is bit early for us. Lots of houses down the road and even Blake's school had trees and lights up which Blake absolutely loves. This was why we prompted to get up our tree and decorations a little earlier.
1st of December (Tuesday) saw Pip our Christmas elf come back for lots of fun. I think he is going to be cheeky as usual this year and keep us on our toes. We have also watched Christmas films after school and made a Christmas wreath out of card which is currently hung on our bedroom window.
Today has been a really great day. It started off with a visit from Santa who was delivering us a delicious North Pole breakfast! Blake absolutely loved it! Seeing Santa has made him excited all day and he sang incy wincy spider to Santa before he headed off to deliver more North Pole breakfasts to other boys and girls. We were really impressed with the breakfast and Blake got a bag of extras too with crackers, paper plates and napkins, a Christmas card, colouring pages, nice list certificate, a book, reindeer dust , tree decoration and a few extra sweets. I love the extra touches that had gone into making it such a magical experience.
Once full we headed out to post Blake's letter for Santa as we had been meaning to earlier in the week but didn't get round to it. It's something I like to make sure that we do each year.
Then we headed to Aldi to grab a few bits and I ended up picking up a Kevin the carrot cuddly toy as they happened to be released today in stores. We also watched a Christmas film once home.
