Over the weekend we went to a family Christmas party at my grandparents in-law’s house. It made me realise how easy life is when you stay home with your toddlers.
First of all, there were Christmas decorations everywhere. This is lovely, but we have already taken down the few we dared to put up as they just get destroyed when the boys decide they want to take a closer look, or chew on the fairy lights (yes, really). When we arrived, they had a gorgeous model Christmas village set out with old-fashioned cars driving along a street made with silver beading, and delicate little pottery snow-covered cottages. It looked lovely, it really did. T1 thought so too, and spent the entire afternoon attempting to pull everything off onto the floor so that he could play with it properly, which wouldn’t have impressed his great grandma who had spent ages creating the masterpiece.
