HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year everyone! We stayed in this year - Mummy was working and we'd had a lovely day watching movies. I spend the evening watching Beatles videos and singing along whilst Lori and Daddy watched the New Year countdown on TV. All the best! xx

Nina's birthday party!

Sandwiched neatly between Christmas and New Year was the birthday of Nina!! She turned 3 this year and we were all invited to her birthday tea party at Uncle Mark's! We had party food and cakes, and we played with Nina and all her cousins! Nina got some lovely presents and had a big smile on her face! Happy birthday Nina! x

Playing Pie Face with Daddy! :-D

After another quick game of Game of Life, and a game of "Loopy Lenses" (thanks Nanna & Kirsty!) we watched a Christmas movie (Deck the Halls) and Gavin & Stacey with Lori.

Sadly Lori didn't want to play my new game this time but we'll encourage her to play next time! In the meantime, after mince pies (I tried one but, yuck!) Daddy and I thought we'd test out one of the new games Santa brought me; Pie Face! It was great fun and I think we went through an entire can of whipped cream! Ha ha!

Riding my new bike!

It was a crisp, but sunny morning so Daddy and I went down to Churchill to ride my new bike that Santa brought me! It was good fun but my hands got cold pretty quickly. It was worth it though to have a proper go on my new bike. I absolutely love it - proper big girl's bike! Thanks again Santa! x

Thanks Auntie Sue!

We were stuck in town so couldn't go to see Auntie Sue for lunch but Daddy went, and he brought back some lovely presents for Lori and I! Thanks Auntie Sue! Lori loves her top, and I love my new Star Wars jumper & jeans! Thanks also for the reindeer chocolate! xx

Boxing Day fun at Auntie Jen's!

We're sad that Christmas Day went over so quick but we had such a lovely day, and it is still Christmas! On Boxing Day morning there was just time for a game of Game of Life before we got ready and headed to Auntie Jen's for the day!

Family visits, Christmas Dinner & Christmas Day night

We had a bit of time to play with some of our new toys before Daddy starting working on the dinner. Grandad Paul had popped round earlier in the morning to see us and later, Nanna, Uncle Mark, Auntie Catherine, Nina, Auntie Kirsty, Auntie Jen, Uncle Gary, and Jay all came round! It was great seeing everyone, and we even had a few more presents to exchange!

Daddy made a lovely Christmas dinner but it wasn't long before we were all completely stuffed, and retired to the living room to watch TV and play some more games. Amy and I played together whilst everyone else chilled out in the kitchen & living room.

It's great when Auntie Jen & everyone comes round and we had a lovely Christmas Day! xx

IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

It was hard to sleep and I kept waking up in the night Christmas morning finally came round and we couldn't wait to go downstairs to see if Santa had been! It was 5am and still a bit dark outside as we crept downstairs. Opening the door on Christmas morning is just the best feeling ever! He'd been!!!

Santa got Lori lots of books, Aquabeads sets, lots of art stuff and a surprise trip to Liverpool to see famous Beatles things! He brought me lots of games, a Barbie Dreamhouse, a Hatchimal, and a brand new bike! We're definitely a lucky pair this year!! Thanks Santa, and Merry Christmas everyone! xx

Lori and I were clearly on Santa's "nice list"!!

Absolutely LOVE the new bike Santa got me!

What could this be?!

Wow! A Barbie Dreamhome!!

Even Mick had some presents including new toys, treats and a lovely new bed hand-made by Nanna!!

Daddy loved his personalised cushion!

and mummy enjoyed her presents from us!

Christmas Day scenes!

Christmas Eve!!!

Santa Claus is on his way - it's CHRISTMAS EVE!!! It was quite warm, for December, so we all headed out on the Metro to Tynemouth for a little wander. We went to the market and had a look in the Land go Green Ginger before heading home ahead of the imminent rain rolling in from the sea. The market was really quiet so it nice to be able to stroll around in relative peace & quiet!

When we got back we all got cosy & watched Elf before laying out treats for Santa & the reindeer; a mince pie, a glass of milk and a carrot. Then in was up to bed and try to get to sleep nice & early...

Learning electronics!

Cousin Amy gave me this electronics experiment kit so I asked Daddy if he could help me do some of the experiments. It was great fun - to begin with we were making lights come on and off and making speakers come on. Can't wait to try more experiments!
