It's Christmas!

Yesterday we went delivering presents to our friend C, who is also the girls' piano teacher.  But first we went out to the shops to get some dairy-free chocolate to make some just for her and we also made some origami boxes to put them in and decorated them.  As you can see I kept it simple and the girls went with a Christmas potato theme (it's a running joke that we have, since C's diet is rather restricted, but fortunately can eat potatoes that she likes - we gave her a home grown one for her birthday!).

Today we finally got round to tidying up the front room enough to put the Christmas tree up.  I put the lights on and started with the tinsel and then K & M took over.

Sophisticated it aint, but we love it. :-)

There was a plan though, so just in case it's not obvious, the top too arrows are pointing to the eyes, that red bell is the nose and that big blog of tinsel is the mouth.  The inspiration for this came from the fact that right at the top there, we don't have a star, fairy or angel, but a little Father Christmas' hat.
