Well we've been full of coughs and sneezes lately.....sniff sniff.
Yeah, I even got sent home from nursery for having a temperature and being a bit on the dozy side. Mum came to get me, we went home and cuddled up, watched some Cbeebies, some Loose Women....I soon felt much better and was back at nursery the next day.
Friday aftenoon was my Christmas Bazaar at school, how exciting. Dad timed it to perfection, he arrived just after i'd been round with my friends from class, so then I got to go around all over again with him and Ellis.
Oh I loved it, especially when I won a jar of sweets almost as big as me...
.....much bigger than the jar I won too!
We queued up for ages to see father christmas, despite Ned and Dad coaching me I was still a bit wary of the big man in red. He asked me what i wanted for christmas, my one word answer was 'pink' I'm not sure what I wanted, but as long as whatever it is is pink i'm okay.
Then I got asked the tough question....what did I want for christmas....ummm.....aaaaaaah.....I didn't know! He advised me to go home, have a good think about it and write him a letter instead.
So the weekend and we finally had a proper trip out! The seaside to be precise. We had a trawl around a couple of surf shops, Owen and I tried on some silly hats that are supposed to keep your head warm in the cold sea....all they did was remove chunks of my hair and try to take my face off. Still, we got to laugh at Andy trying wetsuits on which appears to be rather hard work...ha ha. He had the last laugh though when he went in the sea with Dad and Owen in his new purchase:

It didn't look all that inviting:

So I gave it a miss, bought myself a cool surfers necklace with a fish on it, ate picnic foods, scrounged chips and created some driftwood sculptures on the shore.

Those sharp cookies amongst you will notice I actually wore a coat!
Sunday then and Grandad and Anne were coming round for lunch, we really were most excited. Especially as it was his birthday. A special occasion obviously demands a special cake so we set to work on this little beauty:

A steam train of course:

With a candle in the funnel, he loved it!

Almost as much as we did making it and then of course eating it all.....every last bit!
We had a walk down to the park in the afternoon, I got to show off my new bike riding prowess.
And I got to stay longer at the park than everyone else as Hugo, his brothers and his Mum and Dad also came out to play when they saw us. Brilliant, we climbed trees and even played a game called rugby with a funny shaped ball before they walked me home later. I did mention quietly when I got in though that I had missed Mum and Dad...only a little bit though you understand.
And then today was our school chritmas lunch, it was cool, I even got to sit next to Hugo which was ace, even if I did end up with a gravy soaked stuffing ball in my hat.......
