Fun Photo Fun – Cardboard Boxes & Tin Foil

I have been linking up with the lovely Charlotte over at The Crumby Mummy for the last few weeks of 2012 for her fantastic linky Fun Photo Fun and I am now back with my first link up of 2013 – Cardboard Boxes and tin foil!

Fun Photo Fun - Cardboard Boxes & Tin Foil The Oliver\\\'s Madhouse

As most of you will know I had a little break from blogging over the Christmas New Year period and now I am back!

Christmas day was fantastic for us all and for my little man who is only 20 months going on 21 months this was his 2nd Christmas.

Last year he was walking and getting about but he was totally unimpressed with Christmas so this year he was quite excited by certain things that Christmas brought (like the Christmas tree) So we were looking forward to Christmas morning!

Oh dear is all I can say! for the 2nd year running my little man was obsessed with the packaging materiel his gifts arrived in! including the material of choice from my Step Brother Richard who customarily wraps his gifts in tin foil!

We did manage to get the rubbish from him eventually so all was not lost.
