Merry Christmas


Hi everyone!

Though I've been taking a bit of a break from blogging these last few weeks, I just wanted to pop in and thank each and every one of you for visiting and reading my blog throughout 2012. I really appreciate it!

I wish you and your loved ones a Merry and Blessed Christmas time. May you experience peace, love and joy!



Merry
Christmas

Snow!

I
absolutely
LOVE
snow!!!


This is the scene we woke up to this morning


Snow looks gorgeous against red berries!


I took this picture at the same time as the others, around 07h40
this morning.
But the setting on my camera makes it look dark.
Now you can see the snowflakes better!



Winter wonderland!
This was just a little bit of snow however, 
it has already melted and the children will have to go back to 
school tomorrow. They are not impressed! haha



Nothing compared to what we've had in the past.
This was in February 2012:


Does it snow where you live?
Do you like snow?

The tree is up!


And by that, I literally mean….. just the tree is up. No decorations yet! While the rest of the world seems to be crafting, grafting, creating, selling and shopping ……decorating and planning, I'm still trying to cope with the normal day to day stuff!


My youngest is swamped with homework and school projects, and now he is ill as well. 

My oldest is busy with his GCSE’s, so it’s crunch time now - practical exams next week, mocks in January, etc. (Is this a good time to mention he has a great dislike in studying and needs a LOT of motivation??) Add to that the pressure of having to choose subjects for A-levels and/ or whether he will maybe decide to do something else like apprenticeship!

Oh…. and my husband is also studying for an upcoming IT-exam!! And so I can continue… though, I thought I'll spare you any more dirty details!

What can I say? It’s really not beginning to feel a lot like Christmas around here. However, we've finally brought down the tree and decorations from the loft yesterday and though in my tired, stressed out state it will probably take me a lot longer than usual, I am making progress with the Christmas decorations.

I hope things are much brighter wherever you are and whatever you’re doing today!! And I promise to be more cheerful in my next post, just needed to get this of my chest!! Have a great day everyone!
