Is it from God?

We received a birthday card each today. Rosie was opening hers and Holly was watching, fascinated.

"Is it from God?"

Lewis

Rosie loves Adam. But Lewis is Adam's best friend. Rosie has opinions about that.

Fridge Magnets

Rosie was making sentences out of the fridge magnets today... "ON... MONDAY... I... WILL... GO...

...DOGGING!"

Christmas Party

We had a Christmas party for the neighbours today. The kids made name badges for themselves. This was Holly's.

Christmas Tree

Granny Lea brought us chocolates for the tree.

Holly and Rosie: "Daddy can we put the chocolates on the tree please?"
Daddy: "Sure. You pass them to me, and I'll hang them on."
Holly and Rosie: "Aw... Can't we do it?"
Daddy: "Sorry. They have to be quite high up. Or... they melt."
Holly and Rosie: "Really?! Why?"
Daddy: "Er... Underfloor heating."

Creativity

Stephen and Robin have kindly sent us advent calendars again. So Holly and Rosie sent thank-yous.

Rosie drew a card with a nativity with Mary, Joseph, Jesus, and lots of animals.
Holly drew a card with lots of vegetables. Individually labeled.

Rosie's animals

We went to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum today and Rosie drew these animals:
