It's Christmas

Look at all my presents!!


Let's see if I can sneak one off while mummy's not looking..


We and the tree..

Almost before we know it, Christmas is just around the corner again. We decided to put up a tree and start some "family traditions" this year, now that Matty is old enough to understand what's happening. He'll be putting up a stocking tonight, and has been ogling the presents under the tree for some time now. I've also been telling him about the story of Christmas, and why we really celebrate it. Think he understands it as baby Jesus' birthday at the moment, which is a start.

We'll be having a quiet day at home tomorrow and will see if the predictions of snow come true. Doubt there'll be much snow (if any at all) but it'd still be nice to see some falling =) The year has passed by really fast, and we're hoping to spend some time reflecting on all that's happened. God has been really kind to us this year, and gracious in His blessings to us. May we not take it for granted, but really be grateful for all that we have been given.
