Christmas 2015

We have had a lovely Christmas again this year-when you woke up on Christmas morning Santa had put a pink table in your room with a table lamp, coaster and a box of tissues on it. He’d also moved your stocking on to your table: 

 When you got downstairs you could see that Santa had ticked torch and clock off your list and that he had eaten his mince pie and drank his drink. There was only the tip of the carrot left where hungry Rudolph had munched the carrot you had left!

Breakfast With Santa

Today we went to Woodlands Garden Centre to see Santa before Christmas. To start off with Jessicca didn’t want to wake up:  

When we got there we saw lots of big lights and Christmas decorations:

     
    
 Then a naughty Elf found you! 

 you decorated a gingerbread biscuit while we waited for our breakfast: 

 After breakfast you had a dance with Daddy while Jessica had a nap: 

      
 THEN…you got to meet Santa and Jessica had her first cuddle with Santa!

    

  

 Afterwards we went to see Nana Brown and put her Christmas tree up for her-you and your sister lounged around on the sofa quite a bit though!

First Nativity

You, Mummy, Grandma and Grandad all went to watch Isabelle in her nativity today.  The nativity was great, although not all of Isabelle’s foundation friends enjoyed performing-there was an angel that cried, a stubborn camel, some very bouncy stars that made the stage bang and another star whose bottom was hanging out of her tights!

Jessica’s First Christmas Tree

We put our tree up this weekend and now the house is feeling all festive. You’ve had lots of advent calendars to open each morning-a train with chocolates in, a gift one from Nana, a playmobil one from mummy and daddy and a countdown one from Uncle Tim and Jo.

Gearing Up For Christmas

We have had a very busy weekend this weekend-yesterday we went to Bradgate park and played with Daddy’s friend Mark’s boys (Ethan and Alex) we saw lots of deer! Afterwards we went to see our friend Ali and James in their new house.  Today Aunty Cath, Nana and Grandad came over and you had lots of smiles for Grandad! We also spent time making some Christmas cards today using foot and finger prints! Isabelle is super excited as she has a new bed!

Fireworks

We all wrapped up warmly last night and headed out to see a fireworks display at the Loughborough University. They even had a light show that lit one of the buildings up.

   
    
   
Today we went to see our friends Rich and Sarah and their new baby Harry. He was 6lb 12oz even though he’s 3 weeks old which is less than either Isabelle and Jessica weighed at birth!

First Smile

You were six weeks old yesterday and after your morning bath you gave us your first proper smile. On bonfire night Grandad Williamson bought some fireworks for us to watch in his garden – although though poor grandad was out in the rain to set them off!

One Month Old

On Friday you were one month old. Four weeks has gone very quickly! Isabelle has been giving you lots of kisses and cuddles and she’s been very patient waiting around while you’ve been feeding.

It’s been Isabelle’s half term this week. She’e been learning sign language, songs, phonics, reading as well as all about the body and food.
