Season for JOY



1st of December means Christmas Tree time for us... the kids were so excited! Christmas is such a special time of year - for so many reasons. I love getting excited about all the decorations, the music, the gifts etc... But I hope I will take time to remember the true meaning of Christmas this year, amongst all the glitter and glammer! Because of Christmas we can feel real Joy!

looks soo good Hannah. I need to start thinking about getting a christmas tree - I guess I haven't really been thinking about it all that much this year - but now I will. We will probably end up with a real one again this year - smells so nice

I like, I love.
We haven't touched ours yet from Sunday night, think Leigh would like to do a little revamp one night this week when the kids are in bed tehe. Although he did say last night he thought they did an alright job...

Tree looks really good.. but I don't see a present under there for me yet - then it will look MUCH better!!

I wouldn't mind a car.. or a house.... if you happen to have one... or both that you don't want...

LOVE the tree Han! Big trees are the best!
Last year we had a Christmas activity and we think someone accidently took our tree because ours looks particularly small this year....mmmm...Anyways, that's another story!
We have to catch up! I know you have so much to do before you go but there are Stake things coming up so hopefully I'll at least see you then!! All the photos Leigh took are fantastic. xx

Blanche said...

very impressed with your lovely tree. mine never looks like that! The kids do all the decorating here and I don't have the heart to change anything! I'm pretty certain they know exactly where they put every one of their decorations!

Tree looks gorgeous Hannah,
I love this whole time of year, everything is exciting and there is anticipation about everything to come, and holidays!! Yay!
Though i'm sure it will be pretty busy for you this year! That trip to Melbourne sounds like a pain, but at least you have a fantastic adventure coming up!!

Sooo pretty!!! I think you are like me and rearrange everything when the kids are in bed, as there is no way the kids could've made it look that good on their own!! LOL

Stunning tree Hannah! Gotta get around to ours sometime soon :)

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
