X'mas tree Dome plaza

After having taken the special balloon in the morning and had lunch at home, we have left for the big city, because every year we are curious to see what the Christmas Tree in Milan looks like.

Well, the tree is not bad, once "dressed" with lights and red ribbons, really looks nice :)

We wal around to see the glittering shops full of people buying everything despite the crisis in Italy, we enter in a coffee shop and after we take a lot of fotos, and an hour later I take the family behind the Dome plaza to a special shop, Luini, a shop existing since 1888 and selling fried panzerotti YUM YUM :)
Theese panzerotti are so special that when in Milan you want one, you just say "I want a Luini" :)

Momo and dad waiting to buy panzerotti :)

It is already dark and cold so is best for us to start going home, Momochan has to eat and go bed before 21,00 PM and we have to prepare food, her milk bottle and everything also she has not had her usul nap today so she is quite tired :)

We have decorated our new Ikea X'mas Tree, Momochan has helped with little spheres and snow flakes and at last she has put the star on the top :)

House is strange, not much decorated because is so big but anyway we have some decoration here and there :)

During the past days, parents and friends have decorated kindergarden to make kids a sourprise today, the ceiling of every corridor is full with fakesnow flakes and decorations,in the entrance alley there is a X'Mas tree decorated with blue glittering coloured notes the kids have made and a prespium stands just in front. Outside a special green crown with cones taken from the pine trees in the garden, and some lights. Momochan is enthusiastic she says she loves Christmas days, decorations, sweets, presents and atmosphere in general, this year we will have X'Mas party in the new home and we will have plenty of space fot the tree we will decorate this week, some presents, dance and sing, prepare cookies ... it will be fantastic and we will have opportunity to have sweets everywhere as we do not have ants anymore HAHAHA :)))

home x'mas tree

Finally we have our X'Mas Tree decorated. This year we bought a real tree from Ikea at the beginning of december but I guess it has not been a good idea, smell is so nice but hot inside house is really negative and from the start our small tree has lost needles and has dried, it doesn't have a nice aspect too because is too small so I guess next year I will buy a new one bigger I can just put away after Epifany.
Everytime I put some decoration, some of the needles come down and the tree seems quite nude even if I put so many, anyway Momichan likes it and we will put presents under it during the night of 24 so that Momichan will open her packets in the morning of 25. We have still to buy some little presents for us and my mum who will come at our house the X'Mas day to open presents and have lunch. During theese days in the morning after coming back from kindergarden, I also prepare a special coffee with cookies in the special x'mas mug, it's just my ordinary breakfast but in this way comes cute.

Momichan will go kindergarden until 22 so I am profiting of theese days to organize, X'Mas meals, last presents, sourprises and other small duties. Momichan in the meantime is having special days at kindergarden, today Santa Claus will visit the kids and bring presents, tomorrov kids will make a show, they have something to say and act, each of them and Momichan is enthusiastic about that. On wednesday they will organize special games and after there will be a X'Mas party with panettone.

X'Mas Tree ...

This year for X'Mas Tree we went to Ikea and bought one. Up till now I have not yet decorated it, I guess I will wait until 7/8 december.
The tree is really small and as you know at home real tree start to loose their needles so I wait a little before decorate it so as to leave it in peace and adapt to our house before covering it with tiny pelouche and red glitter balls ^^

Momichan will help and I hope pine tree will not loose to many needls or w will have a horrible X'Mas Tree this year ;-)

Buying X'Mas Tree

This morning we went Ikea store to buy the pine X'mas tree, Momichan cannot see the moment in which wee will decorate it togather with plush toys and small red glowing balls.
We enter Ikea store and go directly to pay it, we have also bought some earth, vase I already have at home.

Ouside Ikea there is a small red X'mas wooden house with all the trees and we choose one we think it will be suitable for our livingroom.

Tree is not enormous and enters easily inside our small car, it makes a nice smell inside ^^We have still one thing to do before coming house, we have to go to our preferred shop to retire the special b'day cake we will take to Arcobaleno delle Favole this afternoon for the party we are giving for Momichan with all her kindergarden friends ^^
