Food shop was done at 6 this morning, left DD and DH in bed, he’s now gone to do last minute bits and Dd fell asleep in her porridge so is back in bed 😂.

Last bots of running around to do today and wrapping still to be done tonight. I think it’ll be a late one!

Had my little grandson’s birthday party yesterday and I was hosting lunch for the family before we went to the venue. I am now checking through my fridge to see what I need because I couldn’t give floor space to anything Xmas related (I only have a small fridge). I’m going to focus on cheese 🧀😁

My daughter is 2 and 3/4 so it’s been really magical so far as she’s so excited. She hasn’t really asked for much but has said a few times this week that Santa is going to bring her a pink unicorn, queue a quick Amazon prime order yesterday so that should be coming today.

I also ordered her a Tiana animator doll ages ago when she was loving her but since then she’s moved on to Belle (after Rapunzel who is her ultimate favourite) and as I went to wrap the Tiana doll the other night I had a last minute panic and ordered the Belle doll but it’s super last minute and I’m pretty sure it won’t arrive in time! My fault for ordering so early knowing how fickle children can be with their favourites!

So I need to decide whether to give her the tiana doll on Christmas Day or keep it for her birthday and just give her the belle doll when it arrives and say Santa found it at the bottom of his sleigh (she’s young enough to believe all that without it affecting the magic). What a first world problem to have!

I was in Tesco at 7:45 this morning to do the big food shop so I feel like I can relax a little now that is done! My daughter is not an early riser so we are rarely even awake by 8 let alone out of the house hehe. I got up early and left her and my partner still sound asleep and was home by 9:15!

Tonight I’ll pack the Christmas Eve boxes and that’s all I can do until the Belle doll either arrives or doesn’t! Her main present is a dolls house which is taking up half my partner’s wardrobe so will bring that down on Christmas Eve after she goes to bed and wrap it down here as its really heavy so the wrapping would definitely rip in transit!

I used to always wrap really early and make a morning of it with a Christmas film etc and I’d spend ages wrapping neatly and tying ribbons and bows around them all but obviously no time for that these days!

It’s been really hard to re-hide the wrapped presents as I don’t want to damage the wrapping but also don’t want my toddler to find them! They are pretty much all hidden around our room in plain sight so trying to keep her out of there as much as possible!

This is definitely the last year I’ll be able to get away with this as she’s still little enough that if she does spot anything I can tell her it’s not for her but for a cousin and she won’t make the connection about it being under our tree on Christmas Day as she’s young enough not to question anything about the logistics of Santa!

Next year I think I’ll have to hide them at my Mum and Dad’s house.
The Belle doll just arrived! It’s a Christmas miracle as the tracking didn’t look like it would get here before the 27th! Will wrap that later on and the dolls house and then I’m done!

Finished wrapping at 3am 😂 But it’s done and for the first time ever, I won’t be wrapping tonight! I’ve always got last minute bits to do normally after 2 Pantos on Christmas Eve. Finally I have learnt!

Washing this afternoon to do, need to chuck some sausage rolls in the oven to take to my sisters and that is pretty much it I hope!
