: : The pure joy intrinsic in flying a kite. Whatever the age... if the wind is blowing and you feel a little low - go fly a kite. It is instantly uplifting.
: : The Littlie's participated in a school fundraiser for Save the Children and as part of this wore their Christmas jumpers. Cue very excited children and lots of giggles.
: : A hot chocolate with happy sprinkles!! I had an arthogram this week (a detailed MRI with dye injected directly into the hip joint). This is always a strange feeling and to stave off a fainting fit and sickness afterwards I treated myself to sitting for an hour in the hospital cafe while I regained my composure!
: : Some one on one girly time with Little Lady while the boys were at football. We went 'Christmas Window Shopping' - oohing and aahing at lights and decorations. We love the Monty Penguin advert and there was a whole interactive display dedicated to the penguins at a certain department store - which we both enjoyed!! Little Lady has a rabbit (purchased whilst I was pregnant with her) that is as important to her as Monty is to the little boy in the advert and I was delighted one year to find a bigger version in a charity shop a couple years ago which became Bop Bop's mummy. So lovely - have not seen another one since so it was meant to be.
Christmas is well and truly on its way and the excitement levels in this household are rising! I've just started soaking the fruit for our Christmas cakes and the tree is decorated and awaiting wrapped presents to be placed under its branches! Christmas carols and parties galore are taking place next week, which is sure to get us all in the Christmas spirit! Plus we went on the Santa Train this morning (I think a post of this alone will follow as I took lots of pictures!) It was a lovely family experience and a very special treat.
I hope there were happy things in your week and that you all have a fantastic weekend. Happy Christmas!!

Excitement and festive stuff galore here too. Kite flying is magical indeed isn't it. And how sweet they look in their Christmas jumpers and hats. I failed dismally at Christmas jumper day I'm afraid. I shall try harder for the coming week. I hope it's a good one for you and yours, and that the test results are good. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though the preparations are going well at your house! The Christmas jumpers are very cute aren't they! I hope that your results are good. xx
