Master R and I have been busy painting in the lead up to Christmas. We have been making a few special presents for special people in his life. I love giving Art as a gift as it can be totally child-made and family (Grandparents especially) can't seem to get enough! On top of that babies just love the sensory experience of finger painting and I must admit that I love seeing little hands and feet covered in bright colours!

This year we are going to be spending our Christmas in Peru which is very exciting! This will be the first year I celebrate Christmas in a completely different culture and will be a great time to celebrate with our son and teach him about his heritage.

It of course means that I miss out on Christmas at home with my side of the family, a downside to living a multicultural life that many others would understand. We decided to have an early Christmas to make up for this and to make it that little bit more special I decided to get my son to help make our own Christmas wrapping paper!
