after alll the delays in the world, our christmas decorations fiiiiinally went up today. as we've done renovations, the theatre room was unfortunately a major part of that when we discovered a bad leak coming through from our shower years ago. the shower was not at all waterproofed and years of damage had left the wall soaked and the plaster at the base like mud, rotten skirting and soaked mouldy carpet. i can't even tell you how upset i was the day they stripped it as i honestly thought it was beyond repair. but it has all come together piece by piece as the wall was replastered, left for weeks to dry out perfectly - the carpet and skirting were thrown away... then the room was beautifully repainted before new skirting and carpet went in. it looks amaaaaazing and i am so so so so so happy.
the kids favourite part of christmas is always putting up the tree (i mean who am i kidding, it was always mine too!) and they have been harassing me non stop since december 1st to get it up and decorated but we had to wait for all of that to be finished as quite honestly, we had no where else to put it!!!! but it's done, they are happy and it all looks beautiful as always.
i am so lucky to have these cuties here with me. i may want to kill them on the regular, but having kids in the house at christmas makes me remember just how magical it makes it.
i mean honestly - that's what it's all about. christmas is the spirit of giving, not getting and teaching them the story of christ's birth and everything that goes along with it, makes the magic. ❤
