Oh Christmas Time, oh Christmas Time!

I hope you had a very merry Christmas and Festive Season with your loved ones! And a very Happy New Year to you and your family!

I just adore this time of year, and with a little girl who is starting to really get the magical Christmas feeling, it makes me even more giddy.

J and I hosted our families at our house this year, for Christmas Eve dinner, and Christmas morning brunch. Except for my sister and her husband, everyone stayed over for the night and we had so much fun!

Imke loved having everyone over, and she loved getting dressed in her new sparkly dress for dinner, and she got to stay up a bit later than normal, and eventually fell asleep in my arms while we all sat around chatting - melted my heart holding my baby girl in my arms while she slips into sleep surrounded by family who just adores her <3

My theme for this Christmas was Gold & Silver - I wanted a bit of glam and glitter :-)
I made a silver tablecloth, and a gold runner, threaded some pearly beads through the chandelier over the table, made gold and silver tissue paper pom pom flowers that I hung from the ceiling, and J put the little battery operated fairy lights all around the room. It felt and looked magical!! And I appreciated it so much that all the ladies got a bit dressed up for dinner - thank you!

Here are some pics:

I will post the rest of our Christmas pics later on this week.

Happy 2013 xxx
