And now it's nearly Christmas.....

The time go so fast and we're so busy - fun and nice busy but never the less very busy! Saturday we went to Flensborg in Germany to enjoy their Christmas Spirit. It was lovely and very Christmassy both inside and outside.

Nana has been and gone bringing a massive suitcase with presents. The schoolparty with the princess performing has been and gone. Yesterday the princess sang with 300 other 9-10 year olds at a big Christmas concert. Today it's Christmas fun at gymnastics and Friday it's the last day then holiday! YEAH!!!
The Christmas tree arrived Saturday morning, delivered by our fairy who sits in the top, and the princess and little man have decorated it.

This year we're spending christmas in Denmark so all the shenanigans are happening on the 24th at night. We do though have our own little Christmas again on the 25th were we open all the presents from the English lot.

We are all very much looking forward to Christmas and can't wait to relax and watch Christmas films.

Are you looking forward to Christmas? 

 

The man in red wrote back!

Letters were sent to Father Christmas last week. Wednesday the diglots recieved a letter each back from from him. They were so excited.....

Done...

All ready to put in the postbox tomorrow after school. The little man wrote to Santa in Danish as surely he understands both English and Danish like the little man does,  right!?  

Playground and presents, small as well as big ones....

There were a few days in England where the princess, little man and the daddy were well enough to venture out!! So first stop had to be the playground, right.... Happy faces, fresh air and lots of fun!!

The little man wearing a few of his Christmas presents! A cool leather pilot jacket and his cool hat which he also wore for a while on Christmas day when he got it.... His excitement on Christmas day was so lovely. Aunty 'I' gave him a big present with a little one attached on top. He chose to open the little one first and screamed (and I mean screamed really loudly) with joy: "Look daddy, batteries... Batteries, mummy!! Look...!!" Then he opened the big packet, a radio controlled Rory car! Screams again but not as loud....

He's got his priorities right, hasn't he??

December 2012

                               Happy New Year to you all!

The tree is now lit....

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... "Wow" the crowd went!

Before that happened this special visitor, yes you guessed right, Father Christmas arrived by boat to do the honours.... Can you see him waving to all the excited children (and excited parents) ??

The princess and little man got to shake his hand before we all followed him and the band (yes, there's a Christmas band why wouldn't there be.....) to see the Christmas tree get lit!

That you can call a Christmas band, eh....??

And so it begins.....

All the Christmas shenanigans! No no, don't get me wrong, I do like Christmas but it's a busy time! Today was the first of many things happening the next 4 weeks. The princess' school had their 'Make Christmas decoration for your classroom' day and parents were welcome to come and help. So I did.....
The classroom looks fantastic now, the children are happy and I'm soooo tired!! They do have a lot to tell you this lovely bunch of 7 year olds....

Tomorrow afternoon there's a Christmas party at the after school club. Then we're off to the harbour to see Father Christmas arrive on the boat to turn the lights on, on our town's Christmas tree. Like he does every year so it's ready for the Christmas fair on Sunday. Next week is soooo busy too with more parties at nursery, school but I'll come back to that another day.

Are you ready for all the Christmas shenanigans??

Santa Claus is coming to town...

.... it's true. Today at 4pm he will arrive by boat. We will be at the harbour waiting in excitement! It's a lovely tradition. Father Christmas comes every year to light the two big Christmas trees at each end of the shopping street.
Even more exciting it'll get tonight as Nana arrives (not by boat) on a plane from England with a suitcase full of goodies! How do I know about the goodies? Well, we were asked what we wished for her to bring over from England.... A long list was written!
Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent and in our house a little "nisse" (elf) leaves a little toy and some sweets in the princess' and the little man's Christmas stockings. There's also a Christmas market down town which we'll take Nana to see. The princess will be bringing her saved up pocket money in case (these were her exact words) "I need to buy something!"
But first it's Hello to Father Christmas at 4pm today!

 

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
