Well we arrived safely in England and it was not as cold as we were expecting, but still a shock to the system. It was lovely to see Grandma and Grandad South and we stayed with them for a few days before heading North. We went into London on Saturday and saw the Millenium Eye (which is like the Singapore Flyer which I love) and me and mummy went for a walk and saw Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament as well. We met some friends in a very family friendly pub - it was like pushchair city and even bumped into Ian from Hong Kong!! Then on Sunday we spent the day chilling with Grandma and Grandad - they took me to John Lewis' which is fab (and one thing mummy misses in Singapore!!) I also caught up with my Southern cousins, who were all great fun and their playroom was fabulous. I even tried a mince pie which was yummy!!
Then we headed up to the North on a train, which was exciting - although very busy and we got to see Northern Grandma and Grandad. I caught up with Henry who has grown up lots since I last saw him in the summer and also my great-grandparents, which was lovely. Unfortunately by this time I had caught the English disease (aka a cold) so could not play as much as I wanted to. On Christmas Eve I stayed at home and rested so that I was ready for the big day, whilst daddy, Auntie Becca and Grandma headed off into Leeds for some last minute shopping!!!
Yeah - the big day has finally arrived, my very first Christmas!! We were up nice and early to see whether or not Santa had been - and he had!!! I have definitely improved at opening presents with practice - although I still needed a nap in between. I got some fun computer story books, lots of lovely clothes and some yummy chocolate, which I have promised to share with mummy. I had a lovely nap during dinner, so that the grown ups could eat in peace, although I did try a bit of the turkey and it was quite yummy.
I really enjoyed my first proper Christmas. although I was a bit sad that it did not snow!!
Oh well Merry Christmas everyone and hope that Santa came to you all.
Big Christmas kisses under the mistletoe
