Decorating the outside of the house

 December is here and we are preparing for Christmas, one of my favorite holidays to spend with my brood trying to making it special for them with magic and sparkle.  A new house means a new way to decorate, and now all our autumn decorations are gone pumpkins and leaves we can do a new display for our home.

Here is this years wreath we made now we don't have firs growing in our garden we couldn't make a traditional living wreath, oh i miss that pine smell, at least it gives us a chance to try something a bit more modern, so we spent time wrapping a white ring in lights and silver ornaments and hung a reindeer at the bottom which was to cute to leave in the shop and i knew we could use it somewhere.
The Winter/ Spring pots are still blooming well and i added a mini pile of logs to the front of the house and with Sophie we dressed them in lights and used our pointy box bush to pretend it was a mini Christmas tree.  We even got some stacking light up presents to put by the front door and they glow really well.

 We have been collecting little pots and dressed them in different pretty ribbons and each night Sophie lights these and places them out as the light starts to fall
 Ali had the job of dressing the outside of the house and every since i can remember i have wanted a house with a point on it just for that one month of the year where you can dress it in icicle lights.  Lucky for us the local farmer was kind enough to let Ali go up in his JCB but this was all after another adventure which saw Ali up a tree.
So here is the finished results of our new home complete with icicle light, log lights, candles and a cheeky laser light, well we had the perfect blank canvas and the house lent itself to it really well.
