…was Saint Nicholas’ Birthday, so in our household it was the day we could put up our tree and write our wish lists. And so Zak and Layla helped me decorate (and undecorate) the Christmas tree…
…Steve placed the angel on the top, which was cause for cheers and celebration…
…Layla ate a LOT of candy canes – plastic and all…
…we decided to allow Santa’s reindeer to come to our house – not Santa (Zak doesn’t like him) – but they have to land in our yard and phone Steve and I to go out and collect the presents and put them under the tree because “animals are not allowed inside”. So Zak and I wrote out his Christmas list and Layla scribbled something on hers and I had to write (with some prompting from Zak) what she wanted for Christmas…
…then they put them in Zak’s tiny ugh boot under the tree and crossed their fingers they were good enough to be left some goodies and not a piece of coal or tree branch…
…and they opened the number six box on our advent calendar and hung the little ornament on the tree…
…and turns out the reindeers thought they’d been alright cause sure enough, we got a phone call to come and pick up some goodies to stick in their boots. was quite the job stuffing such a tiny shoe…
…and then this morning they discovered their loot: Cotton On glow-in-the-dark pyjamas (awesome), a wii remote lolly dispenser (so they can stop playing with our real wii remote, but I don’t think it’ll work as the buttons don’t work) and some little figurines (because they have no little people to play with in their block buildings and use little cars as people!)
All round, a lovely St Nick’s Day! Looking forward to Christmas – you can read a little more about my christmas at lovely Shelley’s blog and check out what other bloggers did yesterday at Fat Mum Slim who set this Point & Shoot photo challenge.
