Christmas is Coming.....

....This is marked by the ever increasing list of social events in the kids diaries....school play; pantomimes; parties..the list goes on. This week along with a birthday party; the school nativity play; and a production of the 'snow queen' at school for James, the kids have attended a school Christmas fete and the ward Christmas party.

The main attraction at the school fete was the presence of Father Christmas in his grotto...not wanting the kids to miss out we duly joined the queue - 50 minutes later we made it to the grotto. Kaitlyn was petrified and wouldn't go near Father Christmas, and James only managed to say two words 'hot wheels' when asked what he wanted for Christmas. Anyway the kids were happy with their presents...a book each...which a guess makes the experience worthwhile.



The ward Christmas party was fun. The kids did various activities and games and of course there was a visit from Father Christmas. The primary kids did a short nativity play - James was a wise mans - and sang 'Away in a Manager'....very cute.

Don't you love that Father Christmas experience?! Isn't it ironic that we spend ages queuing for it, and then the kids are frightened! That's happened to us before too!
