Then I went into hyper drive and sewed up around 60 bags so that I could wrap the presents we have.
So here are the presents on the bed and then I sorted and wrapped up most of the girls gifts.
See here they are wrapped and popped into bags for easy storage! Sadly my bedroom is still a mess!
Then it was onto the Christmas Tree. It is a mammoth job and it is enough to send me into a migraine!
And it did! :(
So Saturday we got the tree up and the lights on and beads and teddy bears we bought back in 1993!
Keith said when Alice came out this morning I missed the best reaction of wow! I asked the kiddos to sort themselves out for the family photo for Christmas cards this year here is the first attempt I did get a couple later that are keepers but won't spoil the surprise for later now!
My big Angel! Too cool for words!
Papa angel if only he would wear them the right way!
My big girl angel when I first bought these wings she refused to wear them and screamed down the house!
My Baby angel who had a similar reaction not only to the wings but every item of clothing that was put on!

Looks like a busy weekend at your place. Sorry to read about your work situation. It sounds like a very painful time in your life. I hope that you find the silver lining in this. Thanks also for your support as I have gone through my own difficult time. Love, Monica

Thanks Monica
Life is always giving us lemons and it is about teaching the children and ourselves how to deal with it!

I love the idea of not having wrapping paper and reusing the bags and have done this all year with Birthday gifts!
I bought the fabric for around $1-2 per metre post Christmas!
Great idea!
