The Christmas Tree

This weekend BB and I put up the Christmas tree, with Sam watching on in amusement. In a break with my usual tradition of using the Nordic colours of red, green and white with lots of natural textures on the tree, I opted for multi-coloured ornaments, and added a bit of bling!

After a lot of hassle finding a string of lights where all the light bulbs worked, I finally got them wound onto the tree. Why on Earth don't they find ways of making it easier to detect a faulty light bulb?!

I think it's very important to include treasured bits and bobs created by the boys, no matter what the theme is. In the meantime the boys got on with what they do best...a huge tickle fight!

Final result - very colourful and not at all Scandinavian...just for a change...but still got the thumbs up from all my chaps.

Have a lovely, and hopefully not too frantic, pre-Christmas week!
