Snowy days

Hi Ladies
We thought we had finally broken free from the snow! Oh well, fingers crossed for it to melt away quickly!
I am making the most of a solitary starbucks with a pad and pen...... I am surprisingly organised this year so presents are nearly all done and plans for outings over the Christmas break are taking shape!

I have gone through my Christmas cookbooks with post-it notes and feel satisfied with my choices! Certainly no time to be calorie counting!!!
I'm still deciding whether or not to go for the traditional fruit stacked Christmas cake or to go for all out chocolate lusciousness?! Big decision, but I think I know which will win and which certainly goes better with a glass of milk....When it comes to chocolate I'm happy to break tradition!!!
All the decorations are up and twinkly lights cover 'nearly' every available space - just makes me feel fabulous when I walk in.....Christmas makes you feel just great doesn't it?

Some people like to have everything matching and some like to be random.. I myself like to have matching decorations on my tree... Although slowly as the little one has an input its becoming more and more random!! But that's part of Christmas isn't it?!

Paper chain making is big in our house this year, with all the snow we've just had it definitely filled a gap when we were stuck indoors!
Cutting snowflakes from paper, is something we are yet to master, little ones with scissors can be particularly hazardous but mine did have a go at 'shearing' paper and I am yet to see a snowflake!!! I think i feel a night in front of a movie coming along with a pair of scissors and a stack of white paper..... As if by magic - snowflakes appear overnight!!!!!

Writing cards for nursery chums is lovely quiet time and she loved putting them in the greatly over sized home-made post box at nursery!! I'm super excited about her Christmas concert yesterday at the end of term, lots of proud family went, was a definite a tissue moment!!!
I have treated my mitts to a tube of Elizabeth Arden eight hour hand treatment... So luxurious and they feel silkier than ever. Snowballs might be fun but when my gloves got wet and the ice set in boy were my hands in need if some tlc!! I spotted the body cream too so I'm hoping I've been good enough for Santa to bring it me this year ;)
Seasonal Harrods trip on Monday, please be kind to us Mother Nature :)
More soon
