You know you live in a big city when you have to pre-book tickets in order for your child to go and have a photo taken with Santa. Harrods is completely booked out for this year, Selfridges has no more weekend slots available, and our local shopping centre had a massive queue today and we didn't feel like waiting in line for upwards of an hour. I think Sophs and I are going to have to go back on a weekday when hopefully the queues will be smaller.

In the meanwhile our tree went up on Saturday with some special new decorations just for Sophia including a gorgeous hot pink customised hanging ball with Sophia's name written on it from Aunty Ros :) Christmas has become something special and magical again now that we have Sophia in our lives, and we are so looking forward to spending our first Christmas together as a family.

Sophs and I will be back in Perth Jan 20 for a month for belated Christmas celebrations with family and friends, we look forward to seeing you all then!
