Their visit was all the excuse I needed.
Jamie and Lucy loved getting all the tinsel, lights, tree's and other decorations out of the boxes - and spreading them all over the house - but it was a lovely night!
It has to be said that Jamie and Lucy played wonderfully over the weekend. There was hardly an argument at all - other than the odd tearful complaint that someone 'wasn't sharing'. And of course they both got to 'jump on Daddy and uncle Dean' and their bedtime (Christmas) stories from me!
On the Sunday we paid our yearly pilgrimage to the Bauble Barn www.doddingtonhall.com/bauble-barn.php to purchase yet more lights and decorations. Unfortunately they had not started selling their trees as yet so Jamie and Lucy could not play 'Gruffalo' like they did last year. They did however, find a lovely pile of leaves to run back and forth through - which seemed to keep them very busy!!
After the Bauble Barn, we met up with Nanna Grace; along with auntie Tracy, uncle Jack, new baby cousin Laura and Alannah at The White Hart to celebrate Nanna's 92 birthday. Uncle Michael, auntie Hannah and cousin Noah also popped in for a drink, so it had something of a party atmosphere. Just don't mention the broken lamp....
A wonderful start to Christmas!!
