Christmas @theRoomAlive

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! What a whirlwind it has been here!  Christmas has come and gone and it's always sad when you spend two months (let's face it, as soon as Halloween was gone Christmas decs went up everywhere!) planning every detail of how you will make this day so special, and then it's all over for another year!  We were so busy that I didn't even get to share how we got ready for Christmas over here... those of you that follow me on Instagram would have seen a bit of it.  So I decided to keep the magic alive for a few more days by showing you what we have done here...  Our petite...
