Christmas trees and change


This year Christmas looks a little different for us…


There is now 9 of us for this celebratory season which means doing presents different. This Christmas is also the first Christmas that we have had a 5 year old in 8 years!

First thing that I noticed that was different in our Christmas routine was the Christmas tree. As my dear sister Jelly Beans puts it Mummzy is our very own tree dictator. Our tree was always done to the 'T'!


Now don't get me wrong that does result in a nice tree that is all colour coordinated but it also results in a tree that is covered with breakable ornaments. In past years our Christmas tree has looked orderly and very breakable…

This year our Christmas Tree is covered in plastic and paper ornaments that will not shatter and if they do brake then there will be minimal clean up. Also, the only ‘rule’ for the construction of the tree was that you can’t have two ornaments hanging on the same branch.

 So I guess that not only has the Kids changed but so have we!

 
Thanks and GOD BLESS!!!!

Papa Bear & Pals

 
I apologize for not being all that dedicated to the blog at the moment and going for large spans without posting anything.
 
 
Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we can get all caught up on what is going on at our house.

 So for starters on the catching up...

Papa bear went to New Zealand for Business but has now returned safe and sound.  We all love having Papa Bear back in the house. Getting back into a routine isn’t always easy after having to strike it out alone for a while but I know that none of us would trade him for the world!



Thankfully nobody had to make a trip to the Emergency Room! Unfortunately it was not perfect we still did have a little trouble.

We could never make it without the help of friends; from making dinner for all 8 of us left at home, or boosting the van when it is not working, or being our taxi service when the van still doesn’t work, or coming out of their way to fix the van so that it will work!!!



 We are blessed to know people that care!!! People that help us physically and also those who pray for us! I cannot begin to thank these people for all they have done for us and for all the prayers they have said!

Thank you all and God Bless!!!
