29th December

A bitterly cold park visit today followed by hot chocolate/chai lattes in the bath to warm up!



28th December

Both sets of Grandparents visited us today with their presents. Unfortunately, it was back door deliveries but it was memorable! We all loved our presents.




27th December

Travelling home today but not before we lost a tooth, found our holiday elf had drank Mummy’s prosecco and then we cleaned the house! Returned home to open more pressies!



26th December

Boxing Day dip in the North Sea followed by another park and turkey with chips!



25th December

Our alternative Christmas Day! Very different to our normal day but we loved it. Santa found us and left lots of gifts, we went to the park, failed miserably at taking two family photos, had no sprouts and finished off by decorating Santa ornaments!



24th December

Santa sent his Christmas Eve box early this morning with a little surprise. We were going away for Christmas! We arrived, decorated our Christmas biscuits, visited the park, wrote our Santa letters and left a trail for the reindeer.

First surprise of the Christmas holidays - a family swim. The (blurred!) reaction of each child says it all! Cold and wet people weren’t all thrilled to have a photograph afterwards!

A muddy park visit followed by a walk round the lake to see the ducks and swans!

Getting rid of the excess cardboard!



13th December

What do you do when the church is empty after the service?! 



12th December

Only one thing to do when a box big enough for three children is here!



11th December

Jessica’s Christmas party and lunch day! She was equally happy having her hair down.



10th December

Maisie’s Christmas lunch and party day! She was over the moon at being able to wear her hair down!

Mark’s Christmas work quiz! Last one of the year. So festive dress up night!

Swimming is back! The cafe is closed but we’re prepared with coffee and juice!

The wrapping has started, alongside some Christmas music to help pass the time!

26th November

Mummy had a BSL exam and the we had an optician appointment today. Mummy received a surprise bottle of wine from her BSL tutor too! There was no wine last night, due to the exam so that was opened tonight!



25th November

Mummy’s lockdown birthday today. Our fourth birthday in full lockdown. By January we’ll see if we’ve made it a full house!
Mummy has had a lovely day with lots of friends and family doing doorstep deliveries!



24th November

Our house has looked like this for the last few weeks. Christmas gift bags and wrapping paper everywhere! Not for us, but for our local community who are going without this Christmas.

21st November

Afternoon tea (for lunch!) and an afternoon play on the beach with hot chocolate was our best option for a lockdown birthday party. We all had a great day!



20th November

We have two 7 year olds! They’ve had a fun day, despite it being another lockdown birthday. Bonus photo showing the “same photo, different year”!





19th November

Today was all about making two birthday cakes. Maisie asked for a sheep, Oliver asked for an Easter egg cake. Clearly Easter eggs weren’t available, so he got a chocolate cake!
