Christmas is almost here!

Eeeek it has been slightly manic around here lately. A lot of faffing around doing those end of year must dos, running around like a headless chicken and Christmas crafting madness! I have so enjoyed doing handmade presents this year- such fun! I really can't wait to reveal all the handmade goodness! But I guess it would only be polite to let people open them first :)

I do have some ready to reveal crafty projects....

I whipped up a few of these amazing Little Stars from Lucy at Attic24... I adore her style... Fun and whimsical, bright and fun. Hang them on a few twigs and TA-DAH!

 

 What is Christmas without BUNTING!? I had dreams of using gorgeous Christmas fabrics but completely ran out of time... But put some left over red and green fabric, yarn and bells to good use :)

The Christmas parties have started... Good friends and fun, who can complain! 

Now these I ADORE! The idea came from another of my favorite blogs According to Matt. Matt is a creative Genius! These Christmas Jars were fast to make, fun to adorn, and look dreamy and beautiful at night! Super Pleased!

I am starting to feel Giddy with Christmas excitement :) I really can't wait!

Birthday Celebrations :)

Two Years

They made it

   We made it 

Definitely reason to celebrate :)

With Little S and Little L's first birthday I thought I would feel a huge sense of relief that we had survived a year, but due to various reasons I didnt feel like that in the slightest. The Second Birthday however was a different story, it was so much more than a sense of relief - it was really FUN! 

Two is really such a fabulous age :) Everything is exciting! They have no preconceived notions of what a 'good' birthday should be like so anything is just a BIG treat. They loved having their family and friends together, mixed with a bit of sugar. Big L was the model of a gracious older brother- sweet boy he is :) 

And we felt so blessed:

To have such amazing kids

To have been able to get through the past two years together

To have such great support

To have family and friends who love our kids 

I am really looking forward to this next year! 

The saying that good friends are hard to find is just not that true for me... I have a goody just across the road! After a long week with Little L recovering our household (mostly me) was starting to feel a wee bit fragile. So when my Bestie popped over and asked if she could take Little S and Big L on a Bush walk I jumped at the opportunity! They had a fabulous time and returned Very ready for a snooze- Bliss!

 Little L and I on the other hand took the opportunity to me:walk/him:being pushed on the trike down to the supermarket for a couple of things. It has been the easiest to keep him happy like this- using distraction. It was a slow walk because he wanted to hop off constantly and pick me flowers- something I can live with :)

I have had so many offers for play dates since the arrival of the twins yet have never taken anyone up on the offer until now. I should trust people mean it when they offer.

Feeling very blessed.
