It must be nearly Christmas

Colouring a santa picture

Because we keep getting presents. And I can see there are more Christmas presents under the tree with our names on them too but we're not opening those on Christmas Day. On Friday we got great presents from the Crumps. I think Ríodhna told about Imaginosity. Also Jill & Mark called and Jill cut my hair again so my fringe isn't in my eyes any more.

Then today we went to a Christmas party at Mammies office. There were loads of children there. There was a colouring room where I coloured in the most colourful Santa of the lot! And in the big party room there was a magician who was really good and very funny. Then there was a Punch & Judy show which I didn't like that much so we wandered off and found some chocolate.

After that I had my face painted while Ríodhna had her bottle. And then a clown made me a doggy on a lead out of balloons. I'm very quiet when I go to things like that but Mammy knows what I want so she looks after me. But best of all, Santa was at the party. He was in a grotto and we had to queue to go in. When he called us in, he knew all about me and Ríodhna - he knows we're living in a new house at the moment so he'll know where to find us. And I managed to find my voice for long enough to tell him I want a helmet and a bike. And then some presents fell down the chimney and they were for Ríodhna and for me.

When we came home, I played with my new play-doh toys and Ríodhna played with her new activity triangle. Emma & Jamie came to visit and then Jacinta & Jonathan called over - more presents. Yay!!!
