My Week On Instagram

Well the last week was another busy one for the 'My Darlings and Me' household {hence the lack of blogging that I always feel guilty about}. Preparations are well under way for Christmas. I'm currently obsessed with introducing lots of new traditions for our little family so we can have the best Christmas ever. I had a brilliant childhood and my mum and dad always made Christmas so special and magical... which is what I want to do for Oliver and Lydia.

I squeezed in a spot of baking of course. Last week it was my turn to host the team meeting at work {the host has to bring in goodies for the team to eat!} so I made some chocolate brownies and rocky road crunch bars which went down a treat.

Anyway, hopefully my lovely Instagram photo montage will give you an idea of what we've been up to.

~ We kicked off the countdown to Christmas by visiting our village's Reindeer parade ~

~ I made some mini bunting which will go on our Christmas tree ~

~ We had fun playing with glow sticks. We made them into necklaces, bracelets and
Oliver loved his giant earring! ~

~ Lydia had a tummy bug so I had a few days of cleaning up sick, non stop washing but lots of cuddles ~

~ I finished off making my Christmas cards... very pleased with how they look ~

~ We had lots of fun on a shopping trip to the Trafford Centre in Manchester ~

~ Their decorations are amazing and Oliver was fascinated by the massive Christmas tree
 that has a face on it and sings Christmas songs ~

What has been the highlight of your week? How are your Christmas preparations coming along?
