'What do YOU love about your Holiday Home'........

GET ON YOUR PRETTY DANCIN' SHOES EVERYONE....
It's PARTY TIME !
Well, ok, its not really that type of party....but by all means pop on your prettiest christmas 'frock' settle back in your comfy chair with a glass of eggnog, some sweet chocolate truffles and some Sinatra playin' softly in the background.......as i welcome you with open arms to the
PAINT MINE PINK version of 'What do you love about your Holiday Home' ,hosted by the lovely Karla @ Karlas Cottage


I am sooo lucky that my hubby and my lil guy allow me to go pink crazy in our home...any time of year. Unfortunaltely i do have 5 cats in my home now so i am restricted with my use of 'things that are tinsel related', 'things that jingle' and basically anything sparkly within paw reach that can be whacked, pulled, yanked and chewed on.

So..without further ado.....

Welcome to the Thompson Family Christmas......

This is what you'll see when you first step inside
A pretty wreath on the front door....

And some sweet little reindeer along with my Snow Angel from Alice and a christmas stocking from my dear friend Cherrie @ Country Wishes.


Our front room.My favourite room in the house.
I strung fairy lights from the ceiling and Sam just loves it, he calls it 'Fairy Land' in there now :)







My pretty Glitter card from Alice is the centre piece of the swag on my sideboard.

My coffee table with tinsel, trees, gift boxes and baubles...lots of pink happening here..LOL

Well he's not pink but isnt he gorgeous!

"I'll have a blue christmas without you..."

And of course our Christmas Tree. I gave up the search for a white one so i sprayed the green one with Santa Snow. There are 3 glasss glitter bells on there that i made for us. An S for Sam, a D for Daddy and an M for Mummy. Plus many other decoration i made.



See what i mean about cats and decorations.....i'd love to know what my Georgie is plotting there..


Mr and Mrs Reindeer sitting proudly under the tree. Mr Deer asked for a smallish blue bow, not wanting to look too 'Doe-ish' i guess....
I popped a little 'BELIEVE' sticker on his tushie...because shouldnt we all believe in a little magic...



Sams room.....his stocking that Poppy gave him when he was a baby, and his big santa sack (this kids not silly, you see its sooo deep that santa has to bring lots of toys to fill it...)
Last night he set up his little Fibre Optic tree and Christmas Penguin on his bedside table amongst some tinsel. I just had to sneek in when he was asleep and take some photos.




So what do i love most about my Holiday Home.....I love the people in it, the animals in it, the amazing and emotional feeling that overcomes me on christmas morning when Sam see's that Santa has been and his stocking is full and there are gifts under the tree just for him. I love my job as 'Present Giver Outer' when the whole family is together around the tree.... I love snapping photos of my family when they think no-one is looking, capturing the emotional smiles on their faces...i love sitting down to lunch and not being able to hear myself think for all the chatter that is going on around me...i love when we all jump in the pool and go totally crazy because we are that happy to be together.....i love Sams tired little face at the end of the day, hes so worn out and so gosh darn happy to be a kid....
Above all i love my son and my husband and i especially Thank our Lord that we made it through another year with my husband Shane remaining in remission from the Cancer that almost took him from us not so long ago...

So from my Blessed Family to yours, we wish you all a very safe and joyful christmas surrounded by those you love and those who love you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.....

Love Shann xo
