Well, this Basil house is in full Christmas spirit. Ralden and I finished putting the tree up last night. Tommy asked around a hundred questions about everything and Ralden and I got a kick out of explaining more about Christmas to him. I think he really gets what it's all about now. During his bath, Tommy used bubbles to make a beard and jumped

I know I probably should have been a little mad at Tommy for pulling a stunt like that but it was just too damn cute.

You had to catch him because I was too busy laughing my arse off!

[port_keyed]

I was trying really hard not to.

He's a fast one! And he got water and bubbles everywhere!

I wish we could have given them something to cheer about at the end of the match, but still, that's pretty cute!

Just don't let them down again.

We'll do what we can.

They're going to tune in next weekend, yeah?

We finished putting our tree up this afternoon, and Millie found it absolutely hilarious to try and wrap Miranda up with a string of lights when we weren't looking - I am apologising in advance if she gives Tommy any ideas!

We waited until they were napping before dealing with the lights.

Looking back, that is something we probably should have done, as well...

Trust me, I know my little boys. Ryan would have been a tiny Christmas tree otherwise.
