A Magical Week!

My Word of the Week this week is....


 I love December.....It is by far the most exciting months of the year.....

Our tree and decorations went up on Saturday...It took all afternoon....We managed to lose one of the legs off the tree.....Without it, it wouldn't stand.....We searched where the tree had been stored in the shoe cupboard and had a good clear out while we looked.....We were just about to give up when Ellie spotted it stuck in the tree it's self! Christmas was saved....I didn't fancy having to buy a new tree!

Monday morning our Elf on the Shelf arrived who we've named Elizabeth she arrived along with a letter and the advent calendars.....I have a blog post all about it tomorrow but the elf does have magical powers.....The kids have been on their best behavior all week....hehehe Can she stay all year?

On Tuesday the girls letters from Santa arrived.....Ellie was amazed and I thought Becky would be a bit unimpressed.... She doesn't believe in Santa anymore but she was caught up in the moment and it was so special....She forgot she didn't believe just for a minute and it was so magical to see.....

We have had the letter with all the Christmas dates on.....Christmas dinner, assemblies, carol services and parties! The last couple of weeks of term are going to be very busy!!

The excitement is building and I love it but I have been such a bad blogger this week.....I have been rubbish at reading and commenting on other blogs (I have kept up with the linkies I join but that's it).....One of the reasons I love December so much is all the Advent competitions....Usually companies run a new one every day and there are hundreds and hundreds of them each day to enter.....After entering hundreds on Monday I went to bed and dreamed about them....lol It has been worth it though....So far I have won a couple of things....I'm still crossing my fingers hoping for an Xbox....hehehe I think after reading and commenting on blogs every day all year I'm due a break.....Please don't hate me :)
