Greedy Flamingo
This year the eldest turned 10. She thought it was fantastic, she had her ears pierced and is officially, according to herself, now old enough for the likes of Teen Vogue and lunching with friends (yeah right).
What was running through my head and heart was the panic of how little time we have left with little Miss Vogue to enjoy magical times such as Christmas.
So, whereas in the past our decorations would be up the week before Christmas Day, this year the tree was up on the 1st Dec.
We already had the yearly ritual of the girls buying a new bauble but this year I handed them a free reign on the whole tree, it's rather bare on the top but actually doesn't look too bad and you can't deny the cosy feeling that fairy lights give you whatever time of year!
This year has now seen the introduction of Christmas radio every morning with breakfast (loving Smooth Christmas Radio) and waking up to see what antics our new pet, Antonia the Yodelling Flamingo has been up to around the Christmas Tree.
Christmas fever has taken over and we are loving it!
In some ways it's the 'big' birthdays that reminds us to treasure our time together and that, I am so very grateful for!
