i just love christmas

i just love christmas and all that it holds.......this year i've gone plain with a splash of green.......

and our little tradition for zeke is every year he gets an ornament that hangs on the tree and when he leaves home, he'll have is own collection.....however not sure at 18 or so if he'd like that, but its a cute tradition for now....his first one above is a nz tiki, then an orange ball

and this year a star.........so many posts at the moment about christmas and i love reading everyones little traditions.....as you can see this year we have white twigs {this is the 3rd time we have used this option} because we are going back to nz in a few days, it's a little bit silly buying a tree etc if were not gonna be here.....

i just wondered who else has a real tree???? i was over at melli's design and noticed a real tree but most others don't.........we always get a real tree too {poor greg with hayfever} i'd love to know your preference and why!!!!!!! i have hummed and harred about getting a fake one {because of the hayfever}

enjoy your wednesday and smile at someone today {a big smile} you know the kind!!!!!!!

point + shoot : cherry picking

wow what a weekend, we had an amazing group of people come to visit us in mornington for a day of fun, sun, bbq, cherry picking and hanging together..........
i'd never been cherry picking before and loved it we went to red hill cherry farm where you go and pick your own and eat all the cherry's you want while picking.......

it was loads of fun and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to do it.....red hill farm in particular is only open for 6 weeks.......
then on sunday we went to check out mornington markets and i finally got to try the salt and pepper calamari, my very dear friend has mentioned it often and it's quite well known {it was devine}........ i got to meet a new stall holder and support her by buying a few goodies, love meeting the newbies....
what did you all do this weekend????? i love to know what your all doing {bit nosy hehehe}
if you'd like to add a point + shoot @ fat mum slim it's a bit fun.....
have a great monday everyone
