Christmas is almost here and in its usual frenzy December has gone by way too quickly in a flurry ...I thought this year it was best to perhaps capture the last few weeks in photos....
Although this year we didn't manage to go into the city as a family to enjoy the Christmas decoration and lights (the girls were busy working and we never managed to find a suitable time for all - ahh there is always next year!) I did accompany Lilly on a few of her choir 'gigs' and manage to capture a few beautiful Christmas scenes!
"Tis the season to be jolly" and entertain constantly!!! Lots of catch ups with family and friends, I love this "tree" antipasto platter that my sister in law created for our Christmas get together...and I think I nailed the brief for John's secret santa..the theme was "French" and as you know I LOVE a beautifully wrapped gift!
Some serious chocolate making kept me very busy for a few weeks, these were a special gift for a work colleague of John's...
I love that you are never too old to hug a Christmas teddy....this special bear enjoys Taylor's attention every Christmas x
Lilly and her friends enjoyed their annual Christmas sleepover and started a new tradition, decorating a Gingerbread House! They did such a great job ad no-one wanted to eat their creation - it looked too good to eat LOL
I had lots of fun creating this chocolate nativity scene for them, completely edible and devoured by morning!!! I discovered this great idea on a wonderful blog called The Plumbette lots of fun and so easy to create.
And of course finally another tradition, Carols in the Domain, Friday night was the dress rehearsal where we gathered with a picnic with to enjoy with friends, then on the Saturday (the actual performance) we enjoy curled up on the lounge in our pjs singing along to all our favourite carols (until of course I have to head out in the car at midnight to collect Lilly after the performance - and oh get changed out of my pjs!!)
So there you have it, that was the month of December, now all that is left is to enjoy Christmas Day celebrations with family up north....safe travels to all travelling and wishing you all a wonderful Christmas - enjoy x
