Over to England for the New Year

Teaching Charlie to open presents
Originally uploaded by Ella's Ma.

The next time Daddy says "we're going on a plane tomorrow", I don't think I'll be quite so excited. We went to the airport in the middle of the afternoon and it was the middle of the night before we got to meet Uncle John in England. I'm sure it's not meant to take that long.

Anyway it was worth it. I had great fun playing with all of Charlie's toys and showing him how to open even more presents. A doll's house, teddy bears, a doll, a buggy to run in circles around the kitchen and living room, even more clothes. It was great.

And we did lots of fun things - I played some video games, ate lovely dinners, saw Auntie Nic and Uncle Dave's wedding DVD, went to London and went on something called the London Eye, did a little bit of shopping and went to a great big party on New Year's Eve.

It was on very late but I did loads and loads of dancing. I'm very good at disco dancing. There were lots of other kids there but I like showing all the grown-ups the best ways to dance. When I got tired we went out to the car and at midnight I saw loads of fireworks up in the sky.
