Having shocked the pants off by me by decorating the tree without whining, falling out, sticking all the baubles on one branch or causing any issues whatsoever, these two little treasures have finally mastered the art of being fabulously festive without any fuss.
Once upon a time, we’d build the tree and before we were even able to wrap it with lights at least one of the kids would have been whining. We’ve had bauble bedlam, tears over tinsel and an almost full-on fight over who got to place the fairy on top of the tree…
The kids are obviously a little older and far more able to deal with decorations these days, they are no longer intent on causing chaos. instead, they are happy to help! It’s such a relief as I once dreaded getting the decorations down for fear of the terrible tantrums which would follow.
My Little Pudding
My Hero Helper
With everyone on board and happy to help, we managed to get the entire house decorated, done and dusted in just under two hours which left us enough time to kick back and to relax with a festive family film.
Proud doesn’t quite cover how I feel at present, these kids of mine truly are little stars and I love them to bits!
Thanks for reading and as always I look forward to catching up with your #LivingArrows either through your own posts or comments upon this post.
