Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

I need start this post with the boring fact that we can't open our shed! I will spare you the explanations, the important thing is that our Christmas decorations are locked inside. As a result our tree was bare for few days so Odessa and I decided It's just not good enough and made our own decorations. All the little bits we found lying around our home came in very handy! 



















  I had 15 pounds in my pocket so we quickly ran to the local shopping centre and bought few kitschy things on sale. The final result you can see below.

nearly six








































"Mummy I'm nearly six now," said Odessa when her party finished. And than suddenly she looked worried and asked; "what's happened to four? Where did it go?!" (Odessa is at a stage now when she asks questions about anything including why Emma is wearing a zip dress, or why daddy is called Tim. Great, but I am unsure I even know who 'Emma' is).  Anyway she had a wonderful birthday party this year. A birthday full of madness in the amazing Battersea Arts Centre, surrounded by her closest friends. She was so happy to see every single one of them - so thank you very much to all of you who came and shared this special time with us. We loved to have those wonderful kids over... And once more, Happy Birthday darling, you are the coolest kid on the planet! My little quirky girl.
