Still loving the advent calendars:
We had a christmas lunch at school on Thursday, brilliant! I took great delight in telling Dad that the pigs in blankets were better than his, the stuffing was better than his as well. Seemed a good idea to let him know, maybe it'll get him to raise his game! As if that wasn't enough excitement for one day it was off to Auntie Christines in the afternoon for seasonal baking! We made a lovely big chocolate cake, expertly decorated by me and some sausage rolls as well for good measure.
Yeah, Dad and I had a lovely lazy afternoon without him and his constant gibber-jabber!
Saturday morning we headed for JJ's, brilliant, it had been a while and had taken a lot of pestering on my part:
I took Dad through all the really narrow bits right at the top, I had to help him on a few occasions as he'd got himself pretty wedged in......
Me and Mum had our own fun on the slides and in the play houses, although we did have a few all the family races down the big bumpy slide, I was superfast down this, it made my hair stand up on end with all the speed and static!
I did have one small complaint with the big drop slide not being open for a very long time. Still, I did get a go and i'm almost ready to launch myself now, but not quite......
That evening I had to take Mum, Dad and Auntie Christine to the panto at the corn exchange. I actually got away quite lightly compared to the other kids whose ratio of adult accompaniment seemed to be much higher than mine! The show was Aladdin and I loved it, even though I was getting quite tired towards the end of the second half. We did plenty of shouting and boo-ing (and cuddling up to Mum in case it was scary, it wasn't).
While they were out, I got to go and play with Kimi, Ben and Rach. We had a lovely time, so thanks for having me!
Had a bit of a lay in on Sunday before Ben, Rach, Kimi and Andy came round for lunch. Dad was really going for it and even cooked pigs in blankets (no doubt trying top top the ones I had at school last week, he didn't manage it). We had a very civilised meal, I talked all about what everyone else was or was not eating rather than actually eating very much myself....
......we had company? Did we? Ooops, I barely noticed, too intent on eating my own weight in roasted chickens! It was good to see Kimi again so soon, and share some of our toys!
Monday night was christmas tree night, we were greeted by Santa as usual:
Then it was out into the cold to look for a tree, quite honestly I couldn't have cared less. I wanted to be in the warm at home!
I loved it and was quite happy to wander up and down the rows helping Dad choose:
After what must be a world record shortest deliberation period ever we settled on this rather modest number:
It's still in the garage in a bucket though.......
Yet more Christmas events on Tuesday, it was my school party with games, party food and another visit from Santa. He's pretty busy it would seem, I hope everything is under control for next week while he's out and about?
Yes, he even came to nursery to see us. It was in the afternoon so we had to take Ned along as well as picking mum up. Ned loved it, he got to march about the place like the big shot schoolboy that he is!
Yeah, I had to step in to help my little sister when the big man in red started dishing out the gifts by collecting it for her:
Hmmm, I decided it best to send Ned to do my dirty work on this occasion, Santa makes me cry!
Still, the book was a very nice present, I think i'm coming round to him actually.
Yet more christmas business at school today, we had a visiting panto in the hall. They did pinnochio and it was really good fun! I've also been getting loads of christmas cards from my school friends, so we thought it was only right I send some back. We bought a box of cards in the afternoon, I dictated a list of my friends to Dad and we set about writing them all out. It took ages and was really quite boring.............
