Almost without ceremony, 2010 is ending! After a fun filled, challenging & adventurous year we are quietly creeping into 2011. Lee has been ill for the past 4 weeks with labyrinthitis & what with all the ice & snow & Christmas celebrations we are all rather tired! I just wanted to post a few recent piccies to end the year. Above is the snow blizzard that AJ & I walked home from Baby Ballet in at the beginning of December. Brrrrr! It was cold! I slipped & fell on the walk home & hurt my back. I rediscovered hot water bottles at this time- what a great little invention!
Talking of inventions, we met Wallace & Gromit when we went to
Spaceport for the day to celebrate Timmy & Luke's 7th birthday. We had the place to ourselves as well as life size Wallace & Gromit tour guides much to the kids delight! :o)
AJ & I enjoyed many a frosty walk looking at the beautiful patterns on leaves....
....and berries....
...and other greenery.
We had the pleasure to watch Timmy & Luke in their Christmas musical. Timmy was one of the three kings & Luke was a king's pageboy. Timmy delivered his lines with surprising reserve & shyness. Luke outshone the entire infant school with his improvised dancing & over the top enthusiasm! Both were a delight to watch, as was the whole Year 2 cast. Sadly, I never got to watch Jordan's Christingle service as it was cancelled due to treacherous walking conditions.
Lego has been a passion for all the children lately, especially Timmy & Luke. Timmy built this boat with the help of Mummy & Grandad. He was very proud of himself!
Jordan won the school talent show with his magician's act, some of the tricks devised by himself. He didn't win the hat decorating competition for his class party but was very pleased with his creative efforts none the less!
The heavy snowfall provided much excitement at the beginning of the Christmas holidays!
Luke tried to make the biggest snowball he could & then turned it into a snowman later on. It was heavy!
AJ takes after her mother & loves the snow very much! She looks for it every day now that it has melted.
Jordan & I had a snowy walk home from church just before Christmas. The sun made the snow sparkle gloriously & we paused to take photos....
....kick the snow....
....and generally have a bit of fun!
Christmas itself passed quietly after the busyness & chaos of the build up & preparation. It was fun to sing in the church choir for the candle lit carol service & to be creatively involved in the worship & prayer at church during Advent & for the Crib service on Christmas Eve. We had a fun day with my parents, sister & husband & their two Jack Russel dogs. AJ loves them as you can see from the photo above. Anyway, all that remains now is to wish you all a very happy & blessed new year! Thankyou for continuing to read faithfully despite my lack of updates in recent months. God bless you all in 2011 with every good thing.
