With only 2 more sleeps to go, the girls and I love belting out Christmas carols - especially Michael Buble! The other night, we were by a roaring fire outside in the Rushall Common singing carols, mulled wine in hand, by torchlight with Granny, Grandpa and the rest of the village. It's the little things like that, that really make Christmas feel joyous and special.
We went to London on Monday to see the English ballet perform the Nutcracker. Jaimie exclaimed "they do even better leaps than me"!!!! All she's ever wanted is to dance on her toes and thinks it's not fair she has to wait till at least she's 16 till she gets points!!! It was a dream come true for me and it also felt so special to be able to show the girls the magic.
Then on Tuesday, we went to Norwich to see the Cinderella panto. It was absolutely hilarious with its slapstick humour and jokes for both parents and kids! Taylor's classmate, Queenie was in it, so we all loved watching her as well.
We then went back to London on Saturday to go iceskating at Canary Wharf (where JP and I used to work many moons ago). We stayed over at Aunty Penney and Uncle David's house because on Sunday, a big clan of us all went to Olympia to watch the London Horse Show. The best of the very best horses from around the world competing in show jumping and they also had (besides incredible shopping!) a really fun dog agility competition. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.
So today, we are having a lazy day as the girls call it. Ahhhh, it's not too early for a glass of Baileys is it?!
Peace and Love to you all and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas xxxxxx
