Helping Daddy

Daddy had a meeting in our house last week and we were very interested in helping him get ready for it.

It's Tia Margaret's birthday next week but she's leaving us for a little while so we had a special tea this week with a cool (freezing!) cake.
She let me help her blow out the candles as I did such a good job of singing.

Then we did a present exchange and we got these fabulous pyjamas. I haven't wanted to wear anything else in bed and mummy has a hard job getting them off me in the morning.

Oscar's wearing my Christmas slippers from last year so I've decided I'm stealing Daddy's

Swingin'

Hey Tabitha, you're scraping the ground...

Oh, oh, Tabitha fell asleep!

I'm sure my singing will wake her up.

Well, at least she's still smiling.

Let the parties begin!

I had a late sleep today and then we were off to a Christmas party with my best friends

Faces full of yummy food

Don't you think I'm so like Tio Leroy?

Having a laugh together

My first Christmas present of 2008

A cool place to hang my jewellery and bits and bobs.

Oscar's first ever Christmas present...
and we think his first ever teddy bear bought especially for him!

Counting the days

A daily treat from a calendar mummy made

Mummy asked for a princess smile and this is what she got...

What did we get up to?

Little cherubs...

A climber like his sister

Chillin' in Daddy's hammock chair

Sampling some of the fruit of our labour before enjoying salad with our dinner...

Hopeful

Things are developing under the tree and it's looking promising...

I hope there's something for me too...

Oranges are in season

8 kilos of oranges for just under £1 ($1.50). Now that's a bargain but a lot of eating...

Hair

I know I'm Mexican but I think I'm needing a haircut

Snacks on the table but I actually quite enjoyed the feel of the clippers
and Daddy did a great job!

Princess

I'm a princess. I'm a musical princess.
I don't have an accordion but I can improvise!

My first acting experience

Tonight I became Mary for a while. Joseph and I went on a long, tiring journey.

Eventually my baby was born. Here's baby Jesus.

I took my role very seriously and was not one bit confused about my role. Still a little confused about the story in places but here we are after the event recounting what happened.

Outing

Where are we off to today?

Pony Girl

Tuesday was very exciting because we decided to go to a safari park. We called in the morning and were told the park would be open from 12pm. So we arrived a little later but the park was closed and had been for a few days as a tiger had escaped! There was no hope of the park opening and we were disappointed and annoyed. Not as much as a group of 150 school kids who had been waiting since 8am!
After a picnic lunch we went back to a fair we had seen on the way. It turned out to be a farmers' market and we had a great time!

My first pony ride! I got a special hat for the occasion... just like Aunty Emma's!

Concentrating very hard.

Since Oscar puked on our camera we don't have any sound but the visual still works...

More Christmas

On Sunday we went to help Tia Margaret put up her tree.

Well Daddy helped. The rest of us were involved in damage attempt and damage limitation...

I can't wait to get into these boxes.

Daddy loves Nativity sets. This one is from Haiti. There are a lot of characters but there's definitely a Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus!

Aranza has a musical, dancing Christmas tree which had me laughing and dancing along.

Weetabix

Mummy was very excited to find Weetabix here. I'm the only one allowed to eat it as she says it's too expensive (probably the same price as at home!) but I love it!
