Stacey Solomon is cementing her place as the queen of Christmas as she shared her annual family festive picture.
Stacey, 33, smiles in a wooden sleigh with her two youngest children Rex and Rose and their gorgeous dogs Peanut and Teddy, as festive decorations and foliage adorn the entrance to the family home, Pickle Cottage.
The TV presenter, who received praise for her Crafty Christmas show, wears an elegant white polo neck jumper with a necklace while Rex, three, and Rose, 14 don matching blue jumpers with a festive design, in three photos shared on her Instagram account.
Her husband, former EastEnders star Joe Swash, 40, her older sons Zachary and Leighton, and Joe's son Harry from a previous relationship are missing from the photos.
In the post, Stacey paid a sweet tribute to Teddy and Peanut, while remembering her pooch Theo, who died last year on Boxing Day.
The Loose Women panellist wrote: "The cheesy Annual Christmas Card Picture [laughing face emoji and paw print emoji] I didn’t manage to get everyone in this year (there’s too many of us to manage [laughing face emoji]) But tbh this year it was nice to make it all about Peanut & Teddy [black heart emoji] We lost our beautiful Theo last Boxing Day [crying heart emoji],
"We are so lucky to have Peanut, and to have been lucky enough to rescue & welcome Teddy to our family. Dogs are just so special. We miss you Theo [white dove emoji] We love you Teddy & Peanut.
"Thank you for being the best dogs in the whole wide world, And the best friends Rex, Rose, Leighton, Zach & Harry could wish for…[black heart emoji] To the moon and back boys [paw print emoji and black heart emoji]."
Earlier, Stacey uploaded a few clips to Instagram stories of herself and Rex visiting Theo’s grave.
In the clips, Rex was dressed in a cream beanie hat, as he ran down a grass path alongside a field with Stacey’s other dogs.
The TV presenter uploaded a clip of Rex using a spray bottle to squirt liquid onto Theo’s plaque, then using a brush tool to clear dirt off it. He then put some flowers down at the plot.
Stacey captioned the video: “Happy heavenly Christmas Theo...
“Good afternoon. Me and Rexy spent the morning visiting Theo.
"Cleaning her plaque & bringing her some fresh flowers: sounds silly but as it gets closer to Christmas and I remember that last boxing day we lost her.
"I'm missing her more than ever and feeling a bit of dread towards boxing day for some reason (teary eye emoji) we love you fifi happy heavenly Christmas darling (white heat emoji).”
Announcing the news of her pet Pomeranian-Chihuahua-mix passing away, Stacey wrote on Instagram last year: "Sweet Dreams Theo The best friend we could have ever wished for. Our hearts are broken."
