We went along to the party hosted by my work again this year, whilst it feels as though this has become and annual tradition I do find myself wondering how long we’ll have left of being able to do it as you invariably grow older… anyway these are things to worry about another day!
As last year, there was a disco with a DJ, plenty of food and the opportunity to go and see Santa to get a present – provided you were able to wake him up!
…oh no it’s not (etc!) This afternoon we all went to the Panto at the town hall. It maintained its usual high standard with the Dame’s amazing dresses!
This year they did Jack and the Beanstalk with (in your sisters words) a real life giant! Obviously you both also came out with a new plastic light up wand…
You’ve both been looking forward to trying out ice skating again this year so today Mummy took you back to the Garden Centre at East Bridgeford.
Isabelle got the hang of it and was confident skating on her own.
You sat on a dolphin but right at the end of the session when the rink was clear had a go at skating on the ice just holding on to the dolphin!
It was a lot of fun! Afterwards we went for hot chocolates with Grandma and Grandad to warm up again!
We went back to the Grange Farm Christmas Barn today – it was amazing and full of beautiful decorations!
We chose some to go on a stand Mummy had bought last year and it looks lovely!
Today you came with me to go to the sales and do some Christmas shopping.
We found lots of lovely things and treated ourselves to hit chocolate and cake!
Tonight mummy took you both to the fair – you’d been very excited about it this year.
We were in town on Wednesday and loved watching it all being set up – you had a big list of rides to go on!
You were both given £10 by Mummy and you chose to go on the big wheel, the bumper cars, a train ride and a bus ride!
Isabelle enjoyed two fun houses this year – in particular the moving steps and we all giggled when Isabelle got covered in foam at the end of one of the fun houses!
Grandma and Grandad joined us and we all had a treat chippy tea at their house afterward to warm up!
We were looking for somewhere warm and dry we could go and look around today so we went to a garden centre. They had their Christmas decorations out but your favourite thing was the singing reindeer at the front of the store – we had to go back three times to watch them!
Today you went to her first football session – you’ve been saying for a while that you wanted to give football a go so when Mummy saw an advert for a local club a few weeks ago we got very excited!
I was very proud of you because even though it was cold and wet you stuck it out right to the end of the session!
Tonight Mummy took you trick or treating with your friend Eloisa and her sister Amelina.
You all looked a treat!
It was a lot of fun and very funny – We discovered that you were the perfect height for running in to car wing mirrors and Eloisa was very vocal about her dislike of Mowam sweets when offered them!
One house gave you home made toffee apples and you made us all laugh when you bit in to it and in a very surprised voice told everyone ‘this has got an apple in it!’
We spent some time decorating the front of the house today – we made our own ghosts, bats, cobwebs and spiders and hung them up at the front to surprise Isabelle after we’d picked her up from school!
