New Year in Devon

We visited Sandymouth Bay (as always). It was drizzly but we still had a great time and the waves made huge pounding noises!

Don't know where Grandad found that wasn't so drizzly! (The cafe - it's a painting behind him!)

Uncle Mike and Aunty Annelies

On 28th December we visited Uncle Mike and Aunty Annelies in Cheltenham. We went on a big walk and then had puddings at The Air Ballon pub before a long walk back and some kite flying as the sun went down. Special day.

Cousins!

On the 27th Dec Daddy (Stephen) went to visit them in Wales and helped Aunty Susanne to fit a loft ladder (having nothing better to do with his time!!!)

Ellie, Caitlin and Aunty Susanne came to Clevedon for Christmas dinner and yet MORE presents were exchanged!

New Shirts and Games

The boys got smart new shirts from their Granny when they saw her in Purley. They wore them on Christmas day. They played on some of their new Xbox games - which got quite heated!

Christmas at Omi and Grandad's

On the 23rd December we traveled from Purley to Clevedon to stay at Omi and grandad's for Christmas. On Christmas mornign we all woke up very early - 6am! We had a great time opening our stockings and presents from Father Christmas.

Visiting Family

On the 21st we all traveled to Purley. The kids visited with Elayine, Sara, 'Livie and Jim - where Eva was also staying. They stayed for a sleepover. they also got to See Uncle Harry and Aunty Max as well as Aunty Annette and Uncle Peter. Daddy stayed with Lynn and Nigel

Mumm's away

Mummy (Niam) was away getting better so we made her a special picture frame

MUH and MAM come to visit

MUH (Mad Uncle Harry) and MAM (Mad Aunty Maxine) came to visit at the weekend. We had a great time. On Saturday we all went for Lunch at the White Hart in Ampthill before going over to MK where Lucy had Fatma's party to go to and the boys went to play and Elliane and Allanah's. Harry, Max and Daddy hung out at Xscape and drank Cappucinos!

On Sunday we had a big fry-up breakfast and then went for a walk in the park where we showed tham around the swings and slides.

Is that Father Christmas?

Writing Christmas Cards

Writing Cards is Such a chore! The bored looks don't do the evening justice! We had carols on, tinsle and paper chains up and chocolates as treats!

Charlie's broken finger!

Whilst at Activity Land in MK today Charlie took a tumble in the 'Spiders web' and managed to break his little finger on his right hand! He was very brave. We spent 2 hours in A&E. Charlie had an X-ray that showed the break - just above the knuckle. Then he had gas-n-air so the doctor could move the bone back into line. It hurt a lot but the gas helped a bit. After he had another X-ray that showed all was back in place. He now has his fngers strapped together.

How Tall is Everyone?

Whilst we were at A&E getting Charlie's finger looked at we all measured ourselves (to pass the time!). Results are;

• Sam 122.5 cm
  
• Lucy 126 cm
  
• Charie 130 cm
  
• Daddy 180 cm
  

All these were in our shoes, but using a regulation NHS wall chart!
