Christmas is Coming

The house all lit up

At the weekend it was time to open the boxes of Christmas decorations and to set about making the house looking festive.  We have miles of exterior lights so next year we may really go for it.  It took most of the day to put up the exterior lights and Hannah and Rayna were a real help holding the ladder when needed.

The tree inside

Inside the house the brand new Christmas tree take pride of place next to the window.  the kids had great fun decorating.  Tyler was especially happy, when he ran out of ornaments he went on to use some of his toys under the tree.  First of all his cars then planes then finally they were joined by Buzz Lightyear and Woody.  They looked so good we decided to keep them there.  We also were able to add the decoration we bought in Scotland last year.  

Tyler adds his own ornaments under the tree

Just a few more weeks of school and we're all set for Santa to come calling!  Although if Tyler had his way he'd eat all of the chocolates in his advent calender to make it come quicker.
