We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
Our pumpkins were carved on Jones-time this year; the day after Hallowe’en. Because when your littles are 4, 2 and 4 months, it’s okay to pretend that carving them the day after is still Halloweeny (yes, that’s a word in our house). In fact, this whole week, and the weekend ahead of us is still…

This year we’re made a big bold move away…
Before we’re immersed in Christmas preparation, we thought we’d better add this post in! If you connect with us on Instagram, you’ll know that like at Easter, Valentine’s, St. Patricks and other various holidays in our household, the boys received gifts in a special basket. I managed to make the mister happy too this year…
