Today we went to the pantomime to watch Beauty and the Beast – you didn’t like the scary witch in the first half but really got in to once the scary bits were over in the second half!

Ice Skating
Today we went to a garden centre to try ice skating.
You loved being pushed around on a dolphin and Isabelle has a really good go at skating on her own.
There were some singing penguins which you found very funny!
It was a lovely start to Christmas!

Loughborough Fair
It doesn’t feel like a year since it last came around but the fair descended on Loughborough again and this was the first year where both of you were able to go on similar rides.

Rufford Abbey Monster Hunt
Today we went on a spooky trail through the grounds of Rufford Abbey!
They had lots of scary displays and you got a prize at the end of the trail (as well as an ice cream!).
They had a big new play area so you spent time on this and Isabelle enjoyed learning all about Arbella who used to live at the Abbey and was almost Queen!
Isabelle loves reading the board that told visitors all about the ghosts and hauntings that are meant to happen at Rufford!

Trains by night
We headed to Sutton Bonington once the sun had gone down tonight to go and see ‘trains by night’ in the garden of a coffee shop there. You both enjoyed seeing (and driving the trains) alongside the mandatory hot chocolate and marshmallows!

Grommets
Last year Isabelle failed the school hearing test and had lots of trips to Loughborough hospital for some retests. In the end it was decided that you needed grommets-we’ve had to wait a long time but in the end Isabelle has been to a lovely hospital in Nottingham, called The Spire hospital, to have them put in.
Whilst Isabelle was in the hospital you spent the day with Grandma and Grandad.
It was a long day though with lots of time spent waiting for your turn. There was a nurse called nurse Lucy and another called Angela who did a great job of looking after her.
Isabelle was very excited when we got to the hospital but it took you a while to stop feeling poorly after the operation.
The nurses had a special little remote control car which she got in to go to the theatre room (albeit that Daddy did most of the driving)- it made all the anaesthetists laugh!
