Our Very Special Time

The highlight of our time away was catching up with the family and seeing for ourselves the progress our Grandchildren are making.  They truly bring us so much joy and this visit was no exception.

Daisy started school and has settled well now that she has got used to the longer days.  She was keen to show us her work books and was able to read a few pages of her book to us.  We had so much fun catching up with some craft projects, chatting and giggling together.

We had great fun with our designs and our little parade showing them off to Grandad.  We also had fun continuing on the craft front at a pottery shop, designing and painting some Christmas ornaments.  The perfect Christmas gift, made with love.

Even Mickey was included in some of the fun and enjoyed the run of the garden chasing the girls around.  It really was a wonderful visit but all too soon was over.

Bertie has grown so tall and celebrated his 6th birthday the week before we arrived.  He is still the bubbly and thoughtful little boy that we all love.  We had a lovely time catching up with all his news and playing game after game.  That boy loves a board game.

Honey loved Granny's shoes and make-up bag.  We did laugh about how much she is like her Mum, her Mum used to do just the same.  She was always up to mischief , Honey is the same.  We were fortunate to be able to attend her first ballet class with her, she loved it and looked gorgeous in her pink tutu.

We did do a little Christmas shopping, where Bertie spent his pocket money buying an advent calendar for Mickey filled with doggie chocolates. 

Mickey says a big thank you Bertie, he thinks of you every day.

We were fortunate to be able to visit Santa with Wilbur and Hector, it was a joy to see their faces of wonderment.  We strolled through the Winter Wonderland and enjoyed every moment together.  Wilbur started school this term too and has settled well.  He too has come on in leaps and bounds and loved showing us his classroom and his new found skills.  He loves to read to us and to his brother, it is amazing how quickly they learn.

A very special time that we can remember and reflect upon, giving us some wonderful memories that we can recall and chat about on a Winter's afternoon.  FAMILY a true gift.

See you soon.
