🎨 decorate some festive rocks to hide for others to find 📚 and read some festive stories...
⛄️You can even make simple snowman glasses using permanent sharpie pens... 🌲 This is our Christmas Eve tradition...when the kids are bubbling like bottles of pop & getting excited, a walk, and some fresh to put some colour in their cheeks is just what’s needed before snuggling down to look forward to Santa’s visit 🎅🏼🎁 #Christmas #picnic #cake #snaphappybritmums #illuminatechildhood #lifecloseup #littleandbrave #natureplay #outdoorkids #familyfun #nothingisordinary #thepursuitofjoyproject #themagicineveryday #livebeautifully #noordinarykids #curiouslittleexplorers #mytinymoments #letthembelittle #dailyparenting #candidchildhood #unitedinmotherhood #documentyourdays #rememberingthesedays

...
If I could bottle up these moments,
To remind you as you grow, 
Of the sibling love your really share,
That doesn’t always show. 
You see, even when you’re fighting, 
And you push each other apart, 
I can still see that through the everyday,
You hold each other’s heart.... ....Mumma
