Christmas is on its way!!!

Last year's Christmas was not the most Christmas-sy for us. We took occupation of our house 1 November and started our renovations, and then we finally moved in on 28 December, so for the whole time leading up to Christmas we were busy all the time with fixing, and then packing, and lots of uncertainty about when we were actually going to do anything. So we didn't even put up our tree...
So this year we had lots of time to make up for - so we feel fully justified in putting up our tree in November (some voices were even calling for October...)

So last weekend we did the deed.

Joshua absolutely loves Christmas decorations!

And if he could have he would have loved to help us putting up the tree...
Look at that longing look!

So Christmas has officially come!

Despite how small scale Christmas is in SA compared to the USA, I am already feeling homesick just looking at your preparations for the holidays... nothing beats Christmas with family.
Seems Joshua is really getting into things... the decorations, the pool...so much has changed in the short time I have been gone. He looks great, and you guys look so happy.

Lovely tree, but what I'm looking at are those delicous chunky thighs and cheeks which I just want to MUNCH!
