Finding my Christmas Spirit

Thursday, November 15, 2007


I'm starting to get in the Christmas mood around here. Just finished a little advent calendar and am really happy with how it turned out. I bought the tree at Target last year in the sales. The whole thing was red and the drawers just had the numbers on them. So I scrapified it!! I think it looks way better. I really love this time of year. I've been trying to think of some more little projects I could do.

Attempted a Christmas photo shoot with Joel yesterday. Let's just say we may need to have another go at it when Andrew is around.

Joel had his second lot of immunisation today. He was so good. There was a little whimper for the first needle, then he cried for the 2nd and 3rd one and then after about 2 minutes he was fine. I think I was more worried about it than him. It's over now for a couple of months!


We got our new lounge suite on the weekend. We were so excited when the guys delivered it. And then, we couldn't get the 3 seater through the doors!!! Even our big sliding glass door. SO the delivery guys left us with our couch out under the pergola trying to work out how to get it in the house. We had our builder mate Pete come over and he eventually had to cut into the door tracks and bend the frame to get it in the house. It totally weighed a tonne as well. So lets just say we won't be moving anytime soon!! The lounge is so worth it though! We are seriously in couch potato heaven!! Joel seems to like them too.

Anyway, I'm going to go. Andrew and I are having an in-house date night tonight. Andrew bought me the latest Harry Potter movie and we are going to watch it tonight and eat dips and cheeses, all on our new lounge suite. We really wanted to see this before Joel was born, but he decided to come early. So we are doing our own version of Gold Class!!
