We have had quite a bit of fun working out what traditions we would like for our little family to have around the festive season. This means a lot of sharing between Will and me of our childhood views of Christmas. It feels so strange to be on the other side of Christmas, I almost feel grown up, and am very proud of how organised I have been, more than half my friends and family will actually receive a present from me on time (a bit of a rare occurrence).
The past couple of weeks there has been so much and it all seems a blur. Never ending to-do lists (oh how I do love a good to-do list, and yes I will purposely write something on it that I know I can score off almost straight away). But mostly just survival of getting through the day at the moment, between the pair of them, my two beautiful girls seem determined to allow me as little sleep as possible. There is only so long I can run on coffee before even that won't work. I state now I am exhausted, my own stubbornness plays a part, determined to have some 'me' time at the end of the day, before I have to get up (at 5-ish) to do it all again.
But Christmas is here, which means daddy is here too. So here's to some good snuggly family days around the house with nothing much to do but play games, eat, bake, watch films, eat and well eat.
So Merry Christmas everyone, I hope your day is as magical as can be x x x
