Christmas Eve

On the Eve of Brandon's first Xmas there is sooooo much to get done. I roped the boys into helping with this years giant Xmas cracker and below are a few shots of them attaching the stickers to the main body of the cracker.


Brandon seemed to be more interested in posing for the camera than helping his Dad and Brother.


Eventually he decided to get his hands dirty and join in.

The end result was well worth it and I think we have exceeded previous years efforts with this stunning looking cracker filled with sweets and presents. Roll on Xmas.

After sprinkling the front lawn with magic dust (so that the reindeer's could find their way to our house), Joshua had one other special task tonight. To prepare Santa and Rudolph's drink and munchies. Brandon did join in for this activity but only because he smelt food, whilst me and Joshua prepared Santa's plate the little guy decided to start chomping into the mince pie!!!

Notice the mince pie has vanished from Santa's plate and little Brandon appears to be stuffing his face!!!! Joshua is concentrating hard on puring Santa's very special drink (a can of Guinness!).

With a carrot for the reindeer the plate was ready to be left by the door.

Finally we hung our magic key on the front door so that Santa can let himself in. Then it was off for the final sleep before Brandon's first ever Xmas.
