O' Christmas Tree

Today Nanny PTT, Aunty J, Prince and Princess PTT and I went to pick up our first Australian live Christmas tree.

Prince and Princess PTT with Aunty J...


 Arriving at the Christmas Tree shop...


Prince PTT and I selecting...


Aunty J and Princess PTT had different opinions...


You'd be happy to note that Princess PTT had new shoes for the occasion. Ignore the nails... she's obviously in need of a pedi...


Prince PTT purchasing...


The tree arriving with assistance from Mr PTT's dad, Grand M...


Unfortunately, we were met with high drama on our first attempt at assembling the tree as it was too wonky to fit into the base. They don't make it as easy as you see in the movies... you know: cute guy arrives with tree that looks light as a feather slung over one shoulder and an elegantly wrapped gift for his wife in his other hand. He then places tree ceremoniously yet easily on a stand and the whole family decorates it whilst the adults sip glasses of bubbly...


Our tree decorating ceremony didn't go quite like that... The tree spent the night languishing in a bucket of water until Grandad PTT could put his carpentry skills to good use. Princess PTT embraced the spirit by nominating herself as "Official Cleaner of the Pine Needles". Do you like her Hong Kong Cheongsam? I thought it was cute as well!


Grandad PTT and Prince PTT made this super strong superior base...


When the tree was finally up and stable, we thought about going minimalistic this year and just decorating it with Princess PTT...


But as you know... we are never knowingly under-christmassed so we lashed out and went the whole hog...



Don't think I didn't have a Tognini's Fruit Mince Pie and admired the lights once Prince and Princess PTT went to bed. Well, wouldn't you?

The whole house now smells of pine, it's just beautiful!

Yours,
