It is a fact that all parents know, Christmas is more magical when you have children. Seeing things through their eyes, is THE best thing. Christmas is my favourite time of year, but now I am a parent I adore it even more. Our Christmas was quiet and spent with Mr Hubby’s sister (and her hubby) at our house, nothing out of the ordinary, but I wanted to share a few memories.
On Christmas Eve Baby’s first job was to investigate her Christmas Eve basket.
Our guests arrived early, although Mr Hubby’s sister had to work for most of the day, so Baby and I went to the park for some fresh air.
We weren’t there for very long before Baby needed a car nap, but it was nice to have a little one on one time. Then it was back home to get ready for Santa’s arrival.
With her stocking and Santa’s goodies all ready for him, all we had to do was wait.
Christmas morning arrived and Baby loved getting stuck into her stocking. We went downstairs to open the ‘big’ presents, Baby got a little overwhelmed and it was left to Mummy to do most of the opening!
I already have my Christmas present (2015 Blogtacular ticket), but Mr Hubby also got me a few bits. My favourite present was this card from Baby. There were tears.
Then it was time for Baby to go and see her main present, a trampoline! Bless her, she really adores it!
So that was our Christmas, low key and spent with the people we love, perfect!

Our Christmas is not far from how you celebrated yours. Sometimes I am jealous of the grand celebration on the other blogs that I am reading and yet I know that I wouldn’t want my Christmas to be any other way. #whatsthestory

At the end of the day it is about the people, as long as you have your family, we don’t need huge celebrations x
