Brrrrr its 2oC and icy cold, but no snow.
Just managed to make this mornings train, after finishing off Toms school xmas cards, he’s very proud that he has written 30+.

When did the date become double figures??
We’ve had a lovely busy weekend.

Friday was the start of wrapping the presents.

Saturday was Phil at work in the morning.
Tom was a sleep when I woke up, so I took the chance to catch up with my diary. It wasn’t long before Tom was up and asking for us to start putting up our christmas tree and decorations. Since redocorating the livingroom back in the spring, this was a challenge, as we no longer have a fireplace to hang some of the decorations.

Tom and I had loads of fun. When we picked Phil up from work, tom told him we had just had a lazy day, so it was a nice surprise for Phil when we got home.

Saturday afternoon and on Sunday we headed to Pams house where we had a lovely time. The kids played, we caught up with news. It was fab.

Sunday evening, when we got home tom started to write his class Christmas cards, now this could be fun, 30..29..28.. more to do.

I’m behind on my diary, but will try and post at least my pictures later. X

I’ve cheated a bit today, as the story and photo is from last nights Christmas Tree light switch on in Hucknall. Tom is in the beavers so we all gathered in our local Aldi, and marched proudly into the town waving at the crowds. Hundreds of people had come to watch the light switch on.


After the parade, Tom and his friend Scott enjoyed a couple of the fairground rides before meeting Santa. Tom was a little worried that he had not told Santa everything that was on his list. I reminded Tom that Santa has already seen his list. Tom was on HAPPY boy!!!!

On the way to Toms school nativity. I can’t wait.

Yesterday was a normal working and school day for us all.
Tom happily played with his cars, before playing the tooth fairy game before bed.

After catching up on the past 2 days I must be tired as I’ve just smugged today’s post. Only minutes before Phil had told me today is the 5th not 6th as I had just stamped on the circle showing the date…. dohhh!

Time for bed. My only decision for tomorrow is do I keep the page in to remind me, or re-do???

Its Sunday and a day of rest. Its my dads birthday, so i’ve added an extra photo that was taken last week. Happy Birthday Dad!! x x

Phil and I spent the morning cleaning while Tom playing on the wii and playstation. After cooking lunch we settled down into a Disney DVD classic Aladdin.

An extra photo of Toms birthday card to grandad.

After a hectic day at work, Phil & Tom came to pick me up from the train station. I arrived home to find Phil had cooked tea and Tom had been drawing and writing. Tom is really enjoying writing  at the moment. I had to include what he had completed, but Tom in true style wanted to show his school class next week. I’m left scanning in his handy work to include on today’s post.

Tom Wrote…..”I like Christmas because you get presents and cards. I like Christmas because Jesus was born on that day. But the things I don’t like is Santa doesn’t get any presents”.

For me this page was all about the advent calendar, and Tom rushing into my bedroom when he woke up asking where the advent calendar had come from???

I decided on a full page spread for this one, Tom proudly displaying his calendar. The journalling on the side reads….. “Thomas…. who left the advent calendar, I can’t find number one, all the other numbers are so shiney….when can I eat my chocolate?”
