Warming up at the beach café.
Santasurus.
We put up the Christmas tree.
Come on guys. Not cool.
Roo is off to her Brownie Troop Christmas party.
What a glorious morning.
Pod Christmas meal.
Hanging out with the boy.
We all went for a walk to the park. There was thick ice in the lake. Someone had thrown a traffic cone on top, presumably to confuse the ducks.
Roo was in the church Christmas thing.
Took the kids for a day out.
Cousins are here for Christmas! We have some very excited kids who love to spend time with their cousins.
Christmas number one. This year we’re doing multiple Christmas’ with family. This morning we opened a few presents then enjoyed a spaghetti Bolognese for lunch. Later, we braved the wind for a walk on the beach.
It’s Christmas Eve. After a bath the kids dressed in matching PJs. God damn they’re cute. We love you two SO much.
It’s Christmas morning. The kids did well, not waking until 7:30. They took turns opening their gifts from Santa.
Christmas Day number two. This morning we went to church where the kids showed their new toys. Then I cooked lunch and we opened our presents. Rootwo was tricky later on. Merry Christmas!
Christmas number three.
We had a relaxed day at Grandma and Grandad’s house. My Aunty, cousin Andy and his partner Andy dropped in for a drink and to bring the kids some presents. Later, we went for a freezing walk around Chasewater. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos.
I’m the afternoon we spent some time with Esther, Paul and the kids. Esther made an amazing Christmas tree bake while Paul and I got excited by AI art.
We all went to Twycross Zoo! It wouldn’t be Christmas time without a trip to the Zoo with my mom and dad. It was cold but dry. We had a lovely time. Rootwo was obsessed with the big Gorilla 🦍.
While Katie and Roo went Ice Skating, me and the boy went to Little Street. He loved all of it, but he spent a load of time building a wall and then riding a police bike around and around.
Congratulations son!
Last Parkrun of the year. It was wet, wild and windy.
