Hello! - Sorry that it's been a while. I ended up taking a couple of weeks off over Christmas whilst the boys were off school to enjoy the time with them and to soak up all the of Christmas festivities and it was lovely, so lovely. But it's good to be back - it's good to be back into a sort of routine again and to be back writing on here.

Christmas this year was like a dream. I really did have such a nice time. The thing is is that since becoming a parent Christmas time has become more and more one of my favourite times of the year. My excitement levels seem to increase each year as the boys get older and understand and appreciate it all more and more. Adam and I try, like most parents do, to make the whole of December and the big build up to Christmas as exciting as possible for the boys. We want them to grow up with the fondest Christmas memories and we want to start and pass on traditions that they'll hopefully carry on when they have their own families.
