Apparently it was the weekend. I really only felt it this afternoon when everything stopped and we enjoyed an early Christmas lunch with my in-laws as we won't see them for the real deal. The sun was shining, there was a gentle breeze, the kids ran and ran, cups of tea were sipped and finished - while still hot! - and early Christmas presents were enjoyed.
I have so many photos waiting to be turned into posts, both ordinary and festive. I know. Can you believe it - MORE photos?! Cray cray. I wonder what a normal amount of photos to take is? Positive I am far, far from normal. I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping and yet I still feel anxious thinking about everything else still to do before we head north. Days are disappearing faster than I can say PayPal. Online shopping is THE BOMB. This is the first year I have done it properly and I like it. I also like that the postie delivers on a SUNDAY in December. That's happiness.
I'm not really ready for another week to start. But the nutcracker in my kitchen window keeps stealing days from me, so I say BRING IT! I am positive loads can be done on the high of fairy lights and coffee. And Glee carols. That's a given.
So what's your favourite wrapping movie? And carols album?

And for the first time, joining the gorgeous Em, with her fancy pants Christmas header - and breaking the rules a little (technically these are weekEND stills rather than WEEKLY) but I'm sure she won't mind
Your photos are really amazing - you capture simple moments but they always look so stunning. I bought a new Christmas CD over the weekend - can't wait to start blasting it! Have a great week! xo
ReplyDeleteTahnee I love your photos and there are never enough! Your blog is the first thing that comes up on my Google browser every morning when I log into my computer. I really enjoy seeing your posts every day. My favourite is Michael Buble's Christmas Album and it has already had a good workout this year so far.
ReplyDeletegosh your photos are gorgeous tahnee, who cares how many you have! you are such a beautiful, mindful mama, your lucky kids. i adore christmas music, secretly play it in the car all year round. i am loving michael buble like a nana, i also love the old favourites (frankie, bing etc), but i came across ertha kitt singing santa baby the other day, awesome! and the glee one is pretty great too. just not mariah. please not mariah. have an ace week lovely! :)sarah
ReplyDeleteIncredible images Tahnee. What a wonderful way to capture such treasured times x
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the Glee cast! We're making our own rapping paper this week too! I love that little icream shop :)
ReplyDeleteSophie xo
Lovely photos as always.
ReplyDeleteLots of online shopping done here too & I was happily suprised to get a package on a Sunday!
your photos are divine...and i think a lot of us suffer from "TTMP" (aka taking too many photos)... I've finished my shopping to - online shopping saved me the headache of venturing out into the shopping centres. i love it! love the idea of having a movie to wrap up gifts too... I think the kids would pic something like the wizard of oz...not very chrismassy but still the sing-a-long is good. I'm going to have to get the glee carols out though x
ReplyDelete1. Rice bubbles - Always with the tipping. Why use a spoon when you can pick it up and drink it all?!
ReplyDelete2. Love Actually - Actually Love!!
3. I will never, ever get bored of looking at your photo's. It's why I always look forward to your posts. Keep up with the cray cray amounts :)
4. Looking forward to seeing you and your beautiful trio xo
Lovely photos - and I adore your advent calendar!
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing photographs! I love the way you can simply capture a moment in time, with such crisp clarity - almost like I was there when the kids were playing or opening the gifts. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I too am guilty of photo overload when clicking. Love how your images tell a complete story.
ReplyDeleteYour advent tree is amazing as is your wrapping paper. Hope you manage to catch your breath this coming week.

Tahnee these are all just stunning, your photos are always so full of fun. I love your bokeh lights very very cool. And online shopping is great, spent ages looking but got quite a few done, so much better than walking around the shops. Have a great week. xx
