Welcome back to my poor old neglected blog. No excuses given, none needed! The good thing is I’m back. I’ve been shooting and editing like crazy, which means I haven’t done a scrap of Christmas shopping yet – ok I lie maybe 3 gifts – ‘three’ crikey (only because I can’t swear here). I need to pull my finger out.
Today I actually shot on the 10th, yippee and it was our day minus my 5 hours editing. OK so lets not go there as I have about another 3 sessions to edit and one more to shoot before my holidays start.
December for us is about tradition, family and spending time with the people you love. We kick of the 1st of the month with an advent calendar that the girls have had since my eldest was 18 mths old. The excitement of who’s opening the box and what inside it. Honestly it’s just so adorable to watch everyday.
The girls also found out their new classes and teachers for 2014 and a sigh of relief as they are very happy indeed! The afternoon called for a celebratory swim and treats, if only is wasn’t so blustery and overcast. I love, love, love that the homework has stopped and life is winding down, that school lunches will be a thing of the past for the next 6 weeks, and that PJ days are back, yes that’s right on the occasion we’ve been know to stay in our PJ’s all day. I love it!
I need to say that the last 3 photos my eldest directed me to shoot this way, ‘then please put them on the internet mummy’ she asked before trotting off to bed – Believe me she will check in the morning.
We have a special Christmas shoot planned so this is not good bye for 2013, just a thank you for dropping back, I appreciate you popping by, don’t go away just yet follow on to the uber talented Robyn over in Toronto, Canada to see how her Christmas is shaping up. To have one of those fresh Christmas tress would be devine!
Enjoy your day, Please feel free to say Hi in the comments. Love xxx Jodes

Tamsin - Great photos, I wish I was eating popsicles and swimming outdoors right now. Here in Ontario we do have a gorgeous blanket of snow but it’s chilly out.
