A christmas Wedding

Last Saturday I got a new sister inlaw which is very exciting. Unfortunaely I didnt get to go to the wedding as it was a last minute wedding very close to christmas ( In Melbourne). However Matt got to and I have got to enjoy all the photos and a wedding video!

Christmas Tree

This year putting the tree up was definately more of a chore then fun. We had been sick all week and I had no motivation, But after much nagging from the boys I agreed. This year the scene for putting the tree up was much differentthen in past years with matt lying in the recliner with a blanket sleeping off his sickness, and So not to disturb Matt or annoy me too much the boys watch a christmas movie while I put the tree together on my own...once the tree was up I told the boys to go for it with the decorations. Ethan ever so eager was putting up all the decorations, especially excited to put up the homemade items ones.

Daniel on the other hand decided he would just play in the tinsel like a 2 year old!. During the decorating of the tree I stepped back and trod of my camera which I had stupidly placed on the floor and broke it!.So the only photos I have in on my phone which didnt turn out that great...(need to add a new camera to my christmas shopping!). Thankfully once the tree was up the excitement of Christmas started. I just love Christmas. I love the lame Christmas movies on TV, I love Christmas carols, Christmas cooking, Turkey, Tinsel and wrapping presents. The only thing that is missing from the perfect christmas is snow....but I am not holding my breath for that!

what to buy for a 14 year old boy

I have been thinking all week and I still cant figure out what to buy for my Nephew for christmas. Teen boys are way to hard to buy for.

Is santa real???

That is the question that I was asked last night by Ethan. In the past I had always said to him just "if you dont believe santa wont come". But he was full of technical questions of santa last night so I had to break the bad news to him who Santa REALLY was! It was heartbreaking to break that news only weeks before Christmas. I was really hoping for him to one more magical christmas before reality set in....But I did try to soften the blow by telling him that now he was a big boy he was allowed to know the special secret about Santa that he needs to help keep from others so he was a little excited about having a special secret to keep.....but I couldnt miss the disappointment on his face....then he asked about easter bunny. So in one night he lost Santa and Easter Bunny. I didnt have the heart to tell him about the tooth fairy also :)
