Pancakes/Advent

Today is officially the start of Christmas. This morning we did our sons first ever advent calendar. As he has not yet tried chocolate we are doing advent a bit differently. We have a cloth calendar, and on each day we have placed a piece of paper with the location of a present. We have various treats, DVDs and toys to keep him going. He was very excited later in the day when he saw the calendar, so I guess he gets what's going on.

Today was also the day we put our Christmas decorations up. Usually I'm the biggest kid at Christmas but this year I'm feeling really grown up. I think it's because I have my own child now. My wife on the other hand is really excited. I suppose I just need to crack the Christmas tunes on. Put on a Santa hat and get into the spirit.

This evening my wife had a craving for pancakes, so being the dutiful husband that I am I made her some. They were delicious if I say so myself.

Thanks for reading
