Christmas plans :)
Ok, I know it's early, but what are your plans for Christmas girls & guy?!
I LOVE Christmas & am really excited because Benjamin will be 20 months this Christmas so old enough to be excited about opening gifts!! We ALWAYS go up to my parents, they live 2 hrs north of us & I have never spent a Christmas anywhere else. BUT....this year I have relented & we are going to the in laws. We were meant to have them here but I can't face the idea of cooking Christmas lunch for everyone at 30+ weeks pg with an toddler grabbing at my legs! Despite not being at my parents, I am still soooooo excited!
94 sleeps, he's coming!!!!

must be nice that your LO will understand a bit more this year and get excited for all his presents!
we do one year at my mums one year at my MIL so this year we will be at my MIL but that means next year baby's first christmas will be at my mums
its also my bday on 20th dec so i have a fortnight of fun
im doing xmas at my house this year, imogen will be 14 months old and we're gonna enjoy every minute of it. last year was horrible, flew to my mums in scotland and it was -10 and snowing, it was horrendous with a 7 week old
need to enjoy this year!
need to go shopping!!!!
We always go to my mums who lives in Kent but this year I think we may stay at home. I love my mum to bits, but it gets very hectic so I think we will book up somewhere for xmas lunch and just have a nice lazy family one.
These plans will probably change when my mum fines out about them though, lol

We normally alternate which set of parents we go to each year, this year is supposed to be at the IL's but they've made no plans and told us to go to mine instead rather than hold out for them.
We usually do christmas in england or sweden alternate years, and this year was supposed to be swedish year... but as I will be pretty big by then and defo won't go skiing and skating and stuff... and also it get's soooo expensive.... we decided to stay here.
I have et to break it to my parents, bless them, who are missing our little boy so much. I hope they won't be too upset. I feel terrible just thinking about having to tell them.
I'm hoping DD is more aware of what's going on this year, she'll be 21months, although she did enjoy the wrapping paper last year ha ha! xx
we're abouts in sweden is your dad? My parents live near Karlstad. My brother and aunti and cousins are in Gothenburg.
this year we are going to spend it at Norway!!(so close to Sweden ) Can't wait till the day=)
I've already started buying ]Christmas presents, browsing all the websites possible, as don't have much time on my hands. Have already decided on pressie for my hubby =D Hope he won't find it out ahead of time.
