Coastal Christmas Ideas

This year is a special year for us, the little bear is 31 months old so Christmas is a big deal for him, and thus for us too.  Everyone that visits us is coming over with gifts for him to tear open, so when we put all the gifts under the tree today it was hard to keep him from doing the same to ours.  We have decided that for him to open a present on Christmas day, he has to give a gift to someone else first, we hope that this might insight some excitement in watching others receive presents as well as when he gets them himself (I will let you know how that goes!)  It is also our first Christmas with our new addition, my little girl Lana.  She obviously has no clue whatsoever, but my little bear can get some kicks out of opening her presents.
 
This year will be a coastal Christmas for us - swimming in the pool, eating fresh prawns from the trawler down in the village and drinking healthy amounts of very good New-Zealand Sav Blanc!
 
Here are some gorgeous coastal Christmas inspirations, the first tree is mine...
 
 
Just kidding!  But mine is pretty similar. X










 
Have a Merry Christmas!

Glamorous Mothering...

Oh, if only it looked like this...
 
 
 
I have not posted for a while as you can see, but I have good reason. Baby number 2 has arrived!  She came 2 days before my birthday on November 23rd, weighing 3.1kgs.  A very happy and healthy bub.  And a very quick labour and delivery (thank goodness).
 
My little bear is just in love with her and cannot stop cuddling and kissing her.  And she sleeps and feeds well.  But alas, I do not look like Jennifer in the image above, that is going to come shortly as I have put in my wish with Santa.
