So it’s come around to this time again! You both did pretty well this year from presents from Santa on Christmas morning..
You got some MyLittlePonies for you both to share and then you got lots of things you can make like pixel art and aqua beads (along with a bit more Frozen lego to add to your collection!
You and Jessica also got matching (in style at least) hats from Chris, Karen & Frankie.
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!
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!
So today was Christmas Day – Isabelle came through first, and half an hour late you had woken up and brought her stocking through too.
Santa had put an orange, chocolate coins, a tamagotchi toy, a soft toy elf, a mermaid pen and a chocolate orange in your stockings!
We went downstairs and discovered Santa had eaten the mince pie and drank his sherry! The carrot had also been eaten and some of Rudolph’s water had been drunk too!
You both opened lots of gifts – you had a Thomas The Tank Engine Hornby train, set Isabelle has had a keyboard, you’ve both had a Waitrose play shop and an Amazon Alexa as well as lots of other lovely toys too!
We went round to see everyone at Nana’s house before going for lunch at Grandma and Grandad’s house!
Tonight you went to a carol concert with Nana, Nana Brown and Aunty Cath.
When you got back you chose your carrot for Rudolph and put a mince pie and sherry out for Santa.
Just before Daddy and Mummy went to bed we caught a glimpse of someone delivering your presents…!
