Our cheeky little crawler ... already up to no good!!
The girls playing with Amelia's hair .... more than enough hair to get a christmas clip in!! (No matter what the lady at the shop thought!!!)
Our Christmas Tree .... Harry very proud of his work so far!
Concentrating very hard .. decorating Ma's tree
Aunty JoJo and Harry busy decorating!
Life has been chaotic in our house for the last week .... lots of play dates, christmas shopping, lunches with the girls and christmas parties!!
Harry spent a busy weekend putting up christmas trees at Ma's as well as at Aunty JoJo and Uncle Wade's house before putting ours up on the 1st December!! Definitely an expert at decorating christmas trees and remembers where he has put ALL the decorations so there is no re-arranging!!!!
We also have the christmas lights up on the house again this year and it is a big event turning them on every night!
One big development in our life has been Amelia crawling!!! She has been trying to crawl for the last month or so .. up on all fours rocking and trying to get everything co-ordinated at once but would then realise it was much easier to put her tummy back down and either roll or wriggle herself to where she needed to be!!!
And then one day it just all fell into place and the little princess we once knew has become a cheeky little monkey!! She is into everything and anything and even though we had moved everything out of her reach months ago she still manages to get into something she shouldnt be into!!
Harry has put all of his "precious" things either out of her reach or safely behind closed doors in his bedroom but then informed me he was going to teach her to paint this week ....... In his dreams!!!
We also attempted to get a Santa photo yesterday .... when the first attempt failed due to some clerical error we decided to try again after lunch .... Amelia had a great time pulling Santa's beard and eating his bell (while Santa got more and more annoyed and told us he hoped she wasn't a screamer because he had had crying kids all day!!) and the longer the photographer took the more annoyed Harry was getting so that by the time it was photo time the kids were passed it! Managed to get one photo with the kids both looking but it certainly wont be used as a christmas present so we are going to try one more time this weekend ....
So life at our house continues to be alot of fun and always chaotic but we love this time of year and we are looking forward to a great christmas with the kids as well as our family and friends!

Wow Bel, you guys are game putting up your tree so early!! Hopefully ours will go up this weekend. I think Archie will destroy it in 2 seconds flat. Good luck with the Santa shot. Get a family photo. It worked for us xoxo And I can't believe Amelia is crawling..she is changing so quickly :)
Yes we were brave putting the tree up already... mind you it is up on a table and hard to pull herself up on because the two couches hide the table, but i am sure before the end of December the tree will be destroyed!!!....there will be no presents under it until they are in bed on christmas eve though!!!
Yeah we did the family photo last year and it was great so i think we will do that again!!
I know .. my last baby she is definitely growing up much too fast!
