It's Christmas!!




Thursday 10th December 2009

Well the big news of the week is that Christmas has definitely arrived. We spent the weekend looking for Christmas decorations and then putting up our Christmas Tree which was lots of fun. I especially liked the stringy silver things - I had loads of fun putting them all over the tree, although daddy was not impressed with my artistic abilities and promptly redecorated the tree after!!

I went to playgroup on Friday and Monday, which was lots of fun. We did some fab angel hand painting - mine is now stuck to the fridge door and then I made a very glittery angel - I really enjoyed the glue and glitter, lots of fun. We also made it to swimming, but no coach Dave this week and we met up with Jo and the twins before they head back home to Perth for Christmas. No music this week as the term has finished. We also should have had Charlotte's birthday party but sadly it was cancelled due to illness, so we will celebrate that in the New Year.

Lots of people are starting to head home for Christmas, but most of the people we know from Europe are choosing to stay in the warmth rather than head home to the cold, so there should be a few of us here to celebrate Christmas in the sunshine with.

Mummy and I have also been practicing our baking skills this week and made some very yummy carrot, oat and mixed spice cookies - yum, yum!! I have enclosed a picture of me mixing all the ingredients together - with very little mess, I hasten to add!!

Well, adios for now, speak soon
