To Do This Winter: Decorate The Tree

 Hello readers, I am finally back to blogging after briefly loosing my Internet connection! I recently posted about out Winter Things To Do to round off a rather good year with my family. One of the first things we all wanted to do was decorate our Christmas tree! 

Lovely, sparkly tree! 

Adding more decorations

We gathered all our tinsel and baubles  fixed our tree together and checked the lights all worked before popping them on. After that was all sorted we cracked on with the fun! Midge and I decorated whilst Little Man just ran around with the baubles like a nutter. I'm really pleased with our tree this year and finally Little Man has become bored of trying to trash it!

Pleased as anything to be helping Mummy!

He's perfectly happy to just watch the
lights now

Tonight we made some glittery pine cones. We went to the Church fare at the weekend which was lovely. We weren't there for long because Little Man got pretty tired by the end of it. We did buy some cupcakes, a new teddy bear for Midge's growing collection and lit a candle for 'Super Nanny.' 

We missed Father Christmas by 10 minutes because there wasn't much to do and I was struggling to entertain Little Man in the Church (he was getting pretty restless and just wanted to go out the door!) We ended up walking around the churchyard which was very relaxing actually. Half way around I found the pine cones and popped them on the heater as soon as I got home so they would dry out. Of course, I forgot about them so we only decorated them tonight. I'll post a picture soon.

'Super Nanny'

Amongst the Christmas trees there was a prayer tree. I decided
to write a prayer for Kerry (MultipleMummy)

Little Man loves the church,
it's lovely

So happy with her new teddy and a Christmas
biscuit

 I really hope you all had a great weekend. Looks like the bad weather is back in Cornwall, i'm glad to be tucked up under my quilt!

A Very Public Prayer

It's not often I'll post something like this to my blog, but a few lovely bloggers have come together to help spread some positive thoughts and energy to Kerry, also known in the blogging world as ''Multiple Mummy.' She suffered a hemorrhage in the brain following a ruptured aneurysm in August. Since then Kerry has suffered some setbacks is unable to speak, move her right side or feed herself. Of course, I like to pray sometimes. I have a 'prayer book' and praying for Kerry is already something I have done. 

Dear Lord,

I pray you hear me and many others in this time of need. We all need someone to turn to and for me, that's you. I know a lot of people who don't turn to you in their time of need, so I like to pray for them too. 

I don't have to worry about feeling silly when I say this. A kind, loving and truly wonderful lady is very ill. I don't know her, her name is Kerry, she's a blogger but she's friendly and thoughtful and has the most lovely family. I used to always read her posts on her blog. 

Maybe one day our paths will cross? 

I pray Kerry can heal. I pray that she can keep fighting this tragic illness that has taken her so suddenly and still continues to test her. I pray that she can talk to her husband and her children again. That she can hold them again, and tell them how much she really loves them.

I may be crazy Lord, but I really pray she could be home and warm for Christmas.

Please watch over her Lord. Please keep her family, her loved ones safe and strong. She needs every single one of them right now. 

And they need her.

Amen.
