getting into the Christmas spirit & some child free time!

we have never put the Christmas tree up this early!
but we were all feeling a little holiday-ish, as the girls were packed
and ready to head to Sydney for a couple of fun filled days with their grandparents.

so, as we do every year, we put the tree up with Chrissy music playing, the girls
wearing Santa hats complete with food galore!
( Em and Kace choose what we have- and healthy options must be included!
They dished up enough for about 15 guests haha!)

a glass or 2 of champas must also be had by Mum, and a beer for Dad.

Once the girls were on the plane, we headed off to the
Chandler Markets (got this great mirror) followed by a stop at
Ikea for a few more Christmas supplies (and white coathangers :)

and then onto the Woolloongabba Antique Centre where i got to see
Sandy's Shop from Paint Me White.

i took some pics of some other fav shops.
love that cane bed head :)

quaint pieces in this little corner

gorgeous old change table in Tiffany blue

and then into the city for lunch and Christmas shopping.

after a 5:10am start, we came home exhausted at about 3:30pm!
an easy dinner and a DVD were in order.

then it was wrap wrap wrap and under the tree with all the gifts.

Christmas is definitely looking a little more relaxed and beachy around here this year.

i tied lots of silver star ribbon and made paper doily cones to
hang from these sparkly branches

we've thoroughly enjoyed our child free time, but i can't wait to get my girls

a bit later this morning from the airport!

have fun decorating your home this festive season :)
