In the build up to Christmas we helped Granny make the Christmas pudding
and wrote letters to Father Christmas
We did LOTS of shopping which was not easy with our little rascals
All of efforts were rewarded with lunch at Carluccios
We had a brilliant visit to see Paul and Becci
Mylo had the important job of choosing a tree and bless his heart he chose the smallest one available so that he could reach the top for placing the star :-)
Mylo became an expert hand at helping out with the dishes
but his favorite pastime along with Felix was snuggles with Grandpa
We went to a very fun Baby Sensory Christmas Party with fabulous ride-on reindeer's....
Mylo LOVED the inflatable snowmen
and all of the excitement of the parachute (although Felix looks a bit unsure!)
and quickly befriended a giant reindeer
LOTS of Christmas stories were shared
A very special story was "father Christmas comes to Stoke on Trent"!
and indeed he did!!!
The anticipation and delight was palpable!
We had a wonderful Christmas breakie
Mylo was committed to ensuring he utilized every piece of his present from Father Christmas
while Dad took his role of kitchen hand very seriously ;-)
in fact you could almost cut the tension in that kitchen
Mylo was beyond excited to see Auntie Amelia.....
..and Liam, Uncle Ed, Auntie Ali, Archie and Toby!
Look at our gorgeous Christmas table!
What a feast! Mum did the most incredible job
Her homemade Christmas pudding was so good that it was on fire.....
literally .....
Oh the relief!
Mum also made Christmas cake and Pavalova
upon which Mylo practiced telekinetics
while Felix practiced his Jedi skills on Liam
Mylo soaked up story time with Meals and Liam
While Felix put his feet up
Boxing day was a jammies day
Soon after Christmas we had a brilliant visit to the theater in Manchester with Meals , Liam and his sisters to watch "we're going on a bear hunt"!
We had a lovely lunch with Liam's Dad and family
with the kids in the family not being able to resist the fun park!
Both Mylo and Meals have added a massage chair to their Christmas list for next year
We also caught up with Liam's mum and brother who were so welcoming into their home.
Midst all of the excitement and celebration the boys enjoyed some down time together which served as a good reminder as to what this season is all about xx
