Category: December Daily

It’s Sunday today so we’ve headed down to Pam’s house for our new year fun. We have treated the kids for xmas to Sledging at Milton Keynes Xscape. It was great and we all had lots of fun and giggles too.

Its been raining again today
So while Phil is at work, Nigel, Toms friend and family to watch Madagasta 3 at the Cinema. We stppped by McDonalds for a naughty but nice lunch.

Uncle Nigel has stayed over so Tom and him build Tom’s new Lego Police Station. I get some valuable December Diary time and catching up with missed days. I even get to collate the diary and get it on the ring holders.

After lunch we take a walk to blow away the cobwebs to mill-lakes. We enjoy tea at the Castlewood pub off junction 28 as its fish and chip shop evening.

Phil is back at work today, so Tom and I have a lie-in bed.

We have family and friends come to visit in the afternoon. Uncle Nigel brings more presents and so does Aunty Jacqui. Tom thinks this is great. Dad & Ann stop by and Phil cooks a lovely tea. We sit and chill for the evening catching up with xmas news. This is what crimbo is about impromptu get-togethers. x

The family all go their separate ways home and with the sun shinning we head out to a local Rufford Park to enjoy breakfast and a walk around the abbey and lake.

Christmas Day is here – yippee.

With family staying over we are all sleeping in different beds. I go to wake Tom up and his first words are “Has Santa arrived yet” His face is a picture when he sees all the presents under the tree. Its fantastic, he’s so excited.

With all the family around there are lots of presents to open. Both Tom and Grace love it.

We enjoy a family dinner before settling down to watch the Snowman and Arthur Christmas.
After opening more presents with Great Gran we enjoy a buffet tea. After the kids are tucked up into bed we play another round of Logo’s and Scattergories.

Merry Christmas Everyone x x

Its raining again today, so we stay in and play board games, and games on the wii.

We also follow Santa on Norad.

Family arrives and we enjoy Chinese for tea. We settle down with the Elf’s early delivery of new Christmas PJ’s and Books. The kids were very excited.

The days are zooming past, and today was as action packed as the rest

We had friends come to visit, and after a light lunch we head into Notts to the ice arena to watch a local production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The kids loved it and followed the story in amazement. (only laughing when people fell over). For tea we headed off to the Harvester. Fab Day x

 (Ive included my ticket too)

Today was wet, cold and grey. We decided to spend the day cleaning, washing and tiding-up to get ready for our xmas guests. Tom played all day, and even took time out to post xmas cards to our local neighbours (in the rain).

While ironing we even got to watch the Christmas Carol movie with Patrick Stewart in. fab. x

Its the last day of work and School today before the festivities begin. woohoo.
Toms picture was taken at the before school club he goes to. Im sure I took the same photo last year. I will print it out for my Diary Page. x
