It was just like every other year, the girls and I decorated the tree whilst Aaron looked on with disinterest but that's OK ... we do a much better job without him!
This year I added some huge Christmas baubles out the front of our house to welcome visitors as they come to our home as well as a big star in our front window to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas!
And this is the latest addition to my Christmas collection. My Jim Shore Santa! He sits on our piano and I think he's gorgeous!!
I try to keep with the whole Birth of Christ theme at Christmas and keep decorations of santa to a minimum so you will notice this santa has the nativity on his belly.
Aaron even put up some lights on the outside of the house - without complaining! He's finally coming around!! Who cares about the electricity bill - right?!!?!
In other news, one of our swordtail fish in the front pond had babies last week!
I know it's hard to see but the baby is right down the bottom of the bowl - the little orange speck!
It's one of the few breeds of fish that give birth to live young!
We have lots of baby fish swimming around our pond and they're so cute.
Ash managed to catch 5 and have put them in a bowl in her bedroom.
It's interesting to see them grow! They started off almost see-through and now they are turning gold and getting bigger and bigger every day!!
We noticed that now one of the other females in the pond is pregnant and will be ready to give birth shortly. We are going to have more fish than we know what to do with!
