Christmas is here...
Yes it's almost Christmas...I just finished reading this story to Lode and he is so excited that it's very difficult for him to go to sleep, I remember this very well from when I was a child and now I'm a mom, unbelievable how fast it goes... This year my Christmas will be a bit different...normally I would spend this precious time with my parents, my in-laws and other family, but this year it's just me and my own small family, my dear husband and our two beautiful boys.
Of course I will miss my family in the Netherlands dearly but I'm so looking forward to the special days with just the four of us... we will play some games, watch a Christmas movie enjoy the delicious things we bought and of course I'm looking forward seeing a smile on my son's face when he can open his present ... a pirate costume that he has been asking for for such a long time...luckily for me I found these super-nice Christmas gift tags for FREE at the lovely shop from Cristina, Haciendo El Indio,.that I'm going to use, just click here you can download and print them, thanks Cristina!
I wish you all a beautiful Christmas and hope you will be able to enjoy, get some rest, be happy and cherish these special days with your loved ones ... I'm going to take a short break and will be back in 2010 so hope to see you back around the fourth of January...

'Barbar & Father Christmas' is essential reading at our house this time of year too!
May the year ahead be filled with much joy and great adventure!

Funny,my husband is just reading that Babar story to Miles before his afternoon nap :) we're having a small family Christmas too this year, couldn't get to England to spend it with my sister and her family ... Have a wonderful time, ENJOY! Merry Christmas Irene.

kerst ver weg zonder je familie, maar met je eigen gezin! Ik ken het dubbele gevoel. Geniet... nieuwe tradities voor jullie zelf, ook dat is heerlijk.
Die labels zijn geweldig, ik ga gelijk even kijken
Merry Christmas
