My little mouse and my gorgeous flower in Waltz of the Flowers. The mouse was cute but I question how much ballet she has actually learnt this year. LOL. Brylee shone on stage as usual and I was very proud Mummy!!
Oh, also the December challenge is up on Scrap the Girls. It is a sketch this month. Here is my layout based on the sketch. Pop on over and take a look at the rest of the creative teams layouts.
It is the 1st of December. The advent calenders are up, (my husband asks why we have three... duh) I am still looking for one which seems to have been carefully put away.. so carefully we can't find it. LOL.
Anyway I whipped home from work, piled the kids into the trusty, rusty Volvo and we trooped to the Christmas tree shop/field thing. We were underwhelmed by the size of the trees but found one we liked the shape of, had it chopped down thrown into back of station wagon, scored lollypops and drove home (stopping on the way to purchase cherries). We then took to decorating said tree. Guess what!? 6 year olds don't "get" the idea of a themed Christams tree much to my 12 year olds disgust. it's all about "more is more"!!! Here's a few pics.
It's starting to look more Christmassy around here. Now off to find the missing advent calender. It's the one which the candy goes in it so it's high priority!!!!
Happy 1st of December to you.

Aw, what a gorgeous photo essay this post is! Love the layout too.
We have a real Christmas tree this year too. Mmm, the smell of the pine is to die for.
We decorated ours on 1 December. That was the tradition in my family when growing up so we are carrying it on.
Love this time of year!
