Cousin Lucy came at the weekend. As this was the only weekend they were free before January we decided to treat it as their Christmas! This meant that after celebrating Nanna's 91st in the afternoon, we came home and began to put up all the decorations - including the tree!!
Jamie and Lucy had a fantastic night digging everything out of the boxes as they came out of the loft. It was great to see their excitement and tell them about all the bits and pieces we have collected over the years. I did try to arrange some decorations around the house but it seems Jamie likes to collect them all and keep them in his room. I have a number of Santa's and a few reindeer's and we have had to take them out shopping over the last few days. Unfortunately Jamie got a bit scared at a display in the Coop yesterday and we had to leave sharpish as Jamie had a right royle screaming fit. The display was mechanical; of a number of elves working for Santa. Jamie could not understand they were not real!!
On the Sunday, we took everyone to The Bauble Barn www.doddingtonhall.com/christmastime
and auntie Christine and mummy spent a small fortune on more decorations - but it was worth it!
All in all we had a great weekend. Jamie loves to see Lucy and they only had a couple of fall-outs. Its a shame we won't see them now til the New Year but at least we had a great start to the Christmas festivities!!
