A busy day decorating .....

Madelines house
Sebastians house

After spending 2 hours this afternoon re-arranging Sebastians bedroom ready for his new bed, we started to decorate the gingerbread house and men.

We also made 2 chocolate houses, 1 for us and one for nana - my mum

She popped up to help decorate and eat chocolate..

Seb made mums with her help and Mad made ours ...

The gingerbread men ....


Mad & Seb each decorated a side of the house, so there was no theme apart from

"I can put more on than you" !!

Left side - Sebs
right side - Mads



Madelines side - she made a "M" in jelly beans,
you can just make it out inbetween the M&M's !




Sebs side - he loves freckles !

We had a fun night full of mess, laughing and eating ...

I love doing things with my 2 favourite people xxx

So now all I have left to make are the shortbreads ...

Christmas cakes done .....

24 fruit cake cupcakes

and this is 1 of the 4 smaller fruit cakes..

now onto the gingerbread house !

The Christmas Tree

Biscuits and a WIP ...

Here are some of the biscuits I did last night in my last class.

Love the penguins ..more for decoration than eating.

The Santa is meant to be an Aussie Santa in swimming trunks !

Lolliop biscuits ...

My Mill Hill Mountaineer Santa's ..

I done, 1 started, 1 to go ...

I'm running out of time !!!

I am slowly running out of time before Santa arrives...



I have shopping to do.. checking my list, 1, 2 & 3 times ..

I have my last cupcake class Wed night - its a christmas biscuit one - so be prepared for photos

I have just put a double lot of fruit into a container with heaps of brandy to soak, I need to make christmas cakes and going to attempt some fruitcake cupcakes ..fingers crossed they work.

Kids want to make a gingerbread house - which we will do


I want to make christmas biscuits and name each one for the christmas table gift - only have to make 18 !!


We have Mad & Sebs school concert next thursday night - need to get costumes

Madeline has an overnight school camp and i am helping do the breakfast


Also have end of year school parties they both want me to help out with on the same day at 2 different places and make party food.


I want to finish, but have my doubts, my cross stitch mountianeer Santa bell pull , done 1, 2nd in progress, 3rd - well maybe Christmas 2010.


Oh one last thing I forgot - work nearly every day until christmas - even weekends, and no doubt there will be a midnight shift in there :-)



We also have my nephews 1st birthday on Boxing day, but party on NYE. I am making the cake - its a pirate theme, so its going to be a pirate cake. So have to make sure I have all the colours and ingredients from the cake deco shop before christmas.


So think I may need to plan my days and nights for a while to get it done ...no point really complaining as its....

CHRISTMAS

and I love it xxx

Christmas Photos ....

Both Mad & Seb decided this year they didnt want to see Santa

and have their photo taken :-(

So I said they still have to do the Christmas photo

with the hats I paid a fortune for.

So this morning we took them,

some good ones and some funny ones

and some not so good ones.

I love celebrating birthdays and Christmas

and I love taking photos

of my 2 favourite people I adore and love. xx
