Father Christmas is a big deal in our home. Every one of our boys still believes and I’m incredibly grateful for that. I won’t tell you how long it was that I believed for, but let’s just say the boys have quite a way to go to beat my record. Anyhow, I’m hanging onto the…
Our Christmas Eve Boxes have been a long-standing tradition in our family, adopted from an American friend of mine and encouraged by a lovely Swiss lady I used to work with, whose family always opened one of their presents on Christmas Eve and shared them as a family. I love that it’s like a little pre-Christmas…
The Easter Egg Hunt 2020. In the spirit of honesty, when writing this I was losing my marbles over the sheer amount of arguments going on over Fortnite and playing with friends online and so I’m channeling Easter Sunday vibes and trying desperately to remember that they were all smiling at each other at some…
Sometimes there’s just too much chocolate at Easter – and sometimes you want to give a gift that has a little more permanence. We’ve pulled together a little guide to some of our favourite eggcups – the perfect gift for Easter time! a] Egg Run b] Peter Rabbit Silver Egg Cup c] Breakfast Express d] Laura…
As a natural planner, the period just after Christmas is frenzied ~ at least in my head anyway. I’m not actively doing anything of course, just thinking about doing it. It’s hard to do a great deal when you need 8 eyes in your head at all times of the day; two for Jensen, two…
It was only when I was searching for photos for a friend of Christmas tree plantations that I realised that despite managing to edit them on time, I failed entirely in my attempt to post last year’s Christmas Tree farm photos from our favourite Hampshire Christmas Tree Farm. We’ve visited three Christmas tree farms since…
Bless him! Such beautiful photos too.
How lovely! What a great memory to keep.
Aw so sweet. I love that they have a tree in their room too. Lovely
What a lovely thing to be able to do. I fear any Christmas trees felled round here would be from someone's garden!
Aww bless him! Such a sweet boy and amazing pictures 🙂
Aww – gorgeous – clearly a proud smile in that last photo.
As an aside, I really love the look of your blog. The header is really lovely.
That's an adorable family tradition.
Ah, that's lovely, and an unexpected chance to give your old tradition a new twist! Merry Christmas x
Oh I adore this, the images are just so perfect and what a memory to have
OH wow, this is amazing, but lovely images x
I have to say you have taken some lovely photos here, I'm always envious of blogs with great photos.
How wonderful! Such a proud moment for all of you.
What a wonderful family moment this is!
What a fabulous tradition……can imagine a collage of all the photos in years to come
Lovely photo's and what a brilliant family tradition to have.
So cute! I love these sweet pictures!
Aww, how cute! I love the photos you got! They came out great! My favorite is the one with your little one carry the Christmas tree on their back!! Love it!
This is such a heartwarming post! I love the pics. I am growing a Christmas tree to use in a couple of years too!
I am LOVING all your pictures. We have a place right up the street (literally) that sells trees, so we usually just pick one out and walk it home. I would love to chop one down someday.
That's a great tradition to have! I love the pictures and I am sure he was very excited to get his very own tree. It's a shame that a disease has destroyed all the rest of the trees!
What a beautiful family you have! Living in the city my whole life this is something I never got to experience, like EVER. I can't wait for our move so my daughter can have memories like this. You took such beautiful photos too, a shame you couldn't score a big family tree, but it's nice your boys will have their own tree this year! Lucky!
Aww. Look at him with his freshly cut tree. What a cute little man!
This brought a tear to my eye. What a wonderful right of passage. That is the most adorable little tree, too!
What a cute little tree. This tradition is so awesome!
Adorable, he'll always remember that.
What beautiful pictures you have taken!! This is a wonderful rite of passage.
This is such a cute post! I have always wanted to chop down our own tree, so maybe I'll make it a new tradition!
How cute is your little guy! Such a charming story. Your photos are gorgeous by the way!
What great memories you made together. I love all the pictures. I have always wanted to cut down my own tree.
So adorable! I'm sure he enjoyed his rite of passage!
I can see why you and dad were proud. 🙂 He's sure a cutie pie (it had to be said). 🙂
Awwww these pictures are adorable! This is such a cute post and I love how he is carrying the tree on his own.
This is so lovely! Jensen is so handsome and your pictures are beautiful!
What a wonderful memory to have. Way to go Jensen!
This is such a great post. You little ones are so cute. He looks so proud to be carrying his first tree.
He's so cute. That would be a wonderful memory for him.
