Souvenir poster of Kezia's 1st trip to the cinema

Drawn by Daddy. Quite pleased with that!

Kezia the train driver

Yesterday, Kezia set up a train in the kitchen for all her fluffy toys. She was delighted with it.

Kezia transfixed by Father Christmas

Last week, Kezia got her own personal video message from Father Christmas. She was absolutely transfixed by it. She was very pleased to get a green light showing she was on the 'good list'.

Tranmere at Stevenage

It was a fun day out at Stevenage yesterday, even if Tranmere did slump to their (whisper it) 6th successive defeat!

The theatre of dreams

The away end filling up (er, slightly!)

David Buchanan in disguise

David Buchanan, who should be number 16, spent the first-half wearing Max Power's number 20 shirt. Power wasn't even on the pitch.

Defending (our role for most of the match!)

With Will at half-time

I got told off by a steward for taking this. No flash photography allowed! At least he called me 'Sir'!

A rare attack - we only started playing after Andy Robinson came on with 15 minutes to go!

Joss Labadie's last-minute penalty. Too little, too late, I'm afraid

Getting ready for Christmas! Kezia was keen to make sure that Santa knows the way.

At the weekend we got a great Christmas tree that Kezia chose, and we put up our decorations.

Kezia was very pleased that she could set out the nativity scene (it has since had tinsel added!)

Here comes the tree!

A blank canvas.

"Now, this one needs to go here!"

Adding the finishing touches.

Dr. Bear was a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing!

Kezia learned about Hanukkah at pre-school last week. This was her ace menorah that she made and is now up on our wall.

The Woodley Winter Extravaganza

On Sunday morning, we went to the Woodley Winter Extravaganza! It was bitterly cold, but we had fun listening to the Christmassy music, seeing the reindeer and eating a bacon roll! The best bit was that we bought a delicious home-made Moroccan lamb pie which we ate for tea.

The reindeer were cool.

Kezia had a fun go on the carousel

After a while it was time for the Christmas procession, led by a reindeer.

We had a ringside seat for the procession

This guy was great - he went the whole length of the precinct!

The house two doors down is coming along at a rate of knots - it will be finished soon!

Turning on the Woodley Christmas lights yesterday

We went up to Woodley yesterday to watch the turning-on of the Christmas lights (as well as to sample the mince pies & gluhwein and sing some carols!)

Sarah & Maureen joining in with the carols

The 6 musketeers at Lucas's 4th birthday party

Lucas, Ellie, Katie, Kezia, Lily & Daniel enjoying their party food.

Ready to play the washing machine game!

One of Kezia's favourite games at Lucas's party was the washing machine game. A group of kids were wrapped up in a multi-coloured parachute and then spun round by pulling the parachute taut, leaving them all in a giggling heap!

Our wonderful little Christmas Robin at the Pre-school Christmas show

Is that a robin I see in the distance?

A failing camera battery and useless photography skills meant that this was the only shot we got of Kezia doing her bit of the performance. She was ace though. She and a little boy did 'Two Christmas robins sitting on a wall', and very fine robins they were too! It was great fun.
