Christmas is coming.....

and we are slowly getting the house decorated.  The kids have had great fun making some of the decorations and we want to make paper chains at the weekend, just need to find some pre-cut gummed strips otherwise it's going to be a long job.

We are having a couple of Christmas celebrations this weekend to make up for the lack of Christmas spirit at school.  They're not allowed to celebrate Christmas at all and Jonah has really missed having his Christmas party and all the fun that goes with the last week of school.

this will be our advent calendar next year

the girls helped decorate these
