Welcome Advent

Hello Lovelies
Well , my what a beautiful start to Advent we have here . There was lots more snow last night .
The little people were hoping school would be closed today , but it was still open and we live so close that if it's open they have no excuse not to go .
Pulling each other there on a new sledge and the promise of more sledging after school eased the blow....



After I dropped them at school I headed out on foot to post Emma's prize.
The countryside was looking fabulous . Nevermind a blanket of snow , this covering looked like a thick squashy 15 tog duvet :0).........



It was pretty chilly but I just couldn't stop taking pictures ....

Everywhere I turned looked so picuresque.......





Loving the red of the postbox , so festive ......



Even the sad looking dissused phonebox looked good.....



My favourite is the Narnia like gateway .........





It really was a winter wonderland, and I wanted to make the most of it as we don't get that much snow in these parts. Once I got back , with cold hands and damp feet , I felt like Making the indoors look a bit more Adventish.

I dug out this wreath , which was my first attempt at one of these and I'm not that impressed with how it turned out.....



So I decided to try and cheer it up a bit ...looking round for ideas I spotted the lovely decorations I won in Emma's giveaway. Perfect, her cute little Santa is just the right colour :0).......

That's better. I also added some fairy lights for good measure.

Now all I needed was to put out my Advent calendar. Whilst I was waiting to post my Giveaway parcel , I spotted this gorgeous little one. The boys have the mandatory chocolate version, but this is much more me and the cute Bunny picture couldn't have been more perfect........



I love these 5 bunnys . Like our family :0)
The patchwork and stockings are adorable too. What did I get behind number one...



Err ...an orange ! or preferably a clementine for me. Hopefully the pictures will get a bit more exciting soon :0)

At the moment I'm just defrosting after taking the boys sledging , it was Frrreeeeezing.....



I couldn't wait to get home to warm up and see what my wreath looked like in the dark.....



It was not easy to photograph , but you get the idea :0)

Hope you are getting a little time to get into the Advent spirit .
