Getting Christmas ready!

It's that time of year where we dig out the tree and decorations from downstairs and embrace our inner Christmas spirit! Christmas is surely more magical since having children, Madeline will be completely adorable this year. The presents, the family, the Christmas lights and songs. I feel incredibly blessed. It's a big deal in the Edwards' family, Adam's Mum loves shopping and giving gifts as much as I do. Everyone is very, very spoilt come Christmas morning.
I have been hunting for a wreath that was inexpensive and pretty - I found a lot of cookie cutter wreaths priced at $20 or more. I wanted a bargain! I found this one at a random cheap shop for $14. I adore it. And our beautiful stockings ready to be filled! I have started shopping for those, the best bit! Our Christmas tree is awaiting the star - Adam and the kids do that each year.

Meanwhile, the hall-stand has lived in the elements for the last 5 years and has been re-introduced inside. I quite like it! I had visions of painting it black like these inspiration pictures I found on Pinterest. Adam has suddenly become a bit reluctant to paint it - so we might leave it for a while!
I can't wait to start my Christmas cooking - cherry ripe balls, apricot balls... Yummy!
