Wow – we woke up to MEGA ice on the roads etc this morning 🙁
Poor Elliot ended up falling on his backside not more than 6 feet from the garage door 🙁
The cul-de-sac and surrounding roads were ice skating rinks – as in too dangerous to walk on AT ALL. Bruce performed a faultless 30 feet powerslide at the bottom of the cul-de-sac as we head up Constable Drive 🙂
By lunchtime, we have got rain and 5 Celcius and so the majority of the ice has now gone 🙂
At 2pm today in the Silcoates school hall was the Nativity for Years 1 to 3 and it was quite a show 🙂
We arrived v early to ensure we secured not only good seats but also to get the car parked in the car park 🙂
The nativity was a little different as it initially centred around a donkey called Maurice who was trying to sleep, with lots of other animals (such as mice, goats, a spider and a bird) getting in the way. Then, Joseph and Mary arrived kicking Maurice out of his manger given their need to use it 🙂
A great production where the children performed faultlessly finishing with year 1 (Elliot’s year) singing a few carols such as the below: (coming soon – upload issue)
Today we went to the pick your own Christmas Tree farm in Methley near Leeds. It is a large farmers field with several thousand Christmas trees from 6″ to 20′ in height.
We took our wellies and trudged through the field in search of our perfect Christmas tree. Olly fell over in the first 15 seconds and then again half way around – to the point that he needed de-clothing at the car and then a new set when we got home 🙁
Anyway, see the photographs below – our tree is on the right of the first photo and in daddy’s hand in the second, and is now sat in the Conservatory getting used to the new environment 🙂 Hopefully we will get around to decorating it tomorrow before Kurtiss’ birthday party.
Olly has come home from school with bright red cheeks and his somewhat usual temperature issue 🙁
May cause a problem for his weekend at Grannies that is supposed to start tomorrow night ….
Elliot has come home as the winner of the Year 1 Presentation award for excellent work tonight. Proud parent doesn’t quite cut how we feel right now 🙂
Well Done Elliot
