TWINKLE TWINKLE



If I could give you the stars, I'd gather them inside my heart,
I'd wrap them in love and brighten your day with starlight ..

Our 'Minimal Christmas'!!!

Well, where did the weekend go? One minute it was Saturday and I was here blogging ~ then time just flew by and here I am and it's Tuesday ~ MAD!!
We went to the cinema on Sunday afternoon and watched Madagascar 2 ~ and we loved it ~ we laughed alot and the children want to see it again (as usual!!) ~ We also managed to do a bit of Christmas shopping ~ amidst all the madness of the pre christmas crowds!!! I think that I am almost all finished ~ just the wrapping and the cards to write and then I can kick back and relax (um ~ well knowing me ~ that won't happen!!).

Yesterday I decided that we would decorate the place for Christmas ~ and our minimal look is almost done ha ha !!

Here are a few photos that took me ages to upload ~ blogger is not being my friend and wouldn't let me upload them at all last night!!


I bought these christmas tree baubles for my little stars to take with us to my Mums ~ so that they can decorate the tree with them!!




Here is our little fibre optic tree ~ I tried to get it changing colour ~ but it just came out blurred ~ my photography skills are not getting any better ha ha !!



My latest purchase ~ my new Wood Wick candle ~ it is called Holiday Glow and it smells gorgeous ~ very festive!! (It is crackling away in the background at the moment!!)



Our little santa snow globe ~ when you wind it up ~ the santa spins around and the snow swirls and it plays christmas tunes ~ Lauren loved it and we HAD to buy it!!!!!




Santa and Rudolf guarding the childrens advent calendars!! He is also a candle holder!!








It did change colour ~ but is still blurry tee hee!!!


The fireplace ~ just our little santas this year and some sparkling lights!!!


Another blurry picture!!


It certainly feels like Christmas here ~ it is absolutely FREEZING!! ~ and yet again they are predicting that we will have snow ~ no sign of any yet though!! I hope it doesn't get any colder ~ I was wrapped in so many layers today that I could hardly move Tee Hee!!!!!


Hope you are warm and snuggly ~ where ever you may be!! XXXX

We have done the decoratimg and it was really strange doing it in this new house for the first time.
It is a hard house to have looking right...Too many windows.
Your place looks so pretty...Personalised babubles look lovely!

Daniel has the same advent calendar as the twins!
Hope you are sitting back ennjoying your decorations :-)

( we had some snow overnight ~ but it froze over, now we have been left with a sheet of ice. Not a gritter to be seen anywhere. Typical!)

Your house looks so cute and festive! We haven't decorated at all yet. I am not even sure I want to decorate with little Izzy running around. He'll destroy everything!
