When the Harry Potter obsession continues but you did not have the time to commit to the Pinterest worthy hand made hedwig costume that was requested due to an ear operation gone wrong and a couple of weeks of poorly girl at home recovering…you just have to improvise. Professor McGonagall it is.
Dear Eva
Tomorrow (at 3.46pm to be precise) you are going to be 9. NINE!
As each year passes it shouldn’t come as a surprise I know that. Yet it does. As I see it written down or am suddenly mesmerised by the huge shiny 9 balloon swaying in the middle of the lounge next to your perfectly wrapped presents awaiting you it takes my breath away. It seems so, big!
Christmas for me, and for us as a family, is all about traditions. About time spent together and about the festive feeling that it brings. Of course I love Christmas day but for me the best part is what we call ‘Christmas time’ which just gives me all the feels. We don’t go overboard on presents and prefer to have a few experiences thoughout the month. To make sure that the girls remember all the ordinary moments that make our Christmas ours.
