We couldn't manage to scan this one in, so this is a photo of a photo, but it is still such a nice one that we decided to put it on here anyway

Kezia was delighted with her new chalkboard from Auntie Caroline & Uncle Adrian
...so delighted in fact, that one of her legs seems to have fallen off....
Football interlude. Swindon v Tranmere on December 21st
Went to watch Tranmere at Swindon just before Christmas. They had a real off-day, losing 5-0! This is our first corner of the game, taken by Adam McGurk....in the 90th minute!
Not the best news for Kezia to wake up to!
For evening football, Kezia often likes me to leave the score on a piece of paper on her bedroom floor for her to find when she wakes up. This wasn't the score she had been hoping for!

Finishing the tree!
If you look back through the blog, you will find a version of this photo each and every year. It is becoming a family tradition. Ace.
"Have buggy, will get tree", as the old saying goes
The local scout troop at the garden centre offered to carry our tree 'to the car'. When we showed them the vehicle we would be using to get the tree home, several of them laughed out loud! We didn't care - Kezia's old 'tank' buggy is the perfect way to transport the tree.
With Father Christmas
On Sunday, we went to the local garden centre and got our Christmas tree. The place next door was also selling trees. We didn't buy ours there, but Kezia liked the Father Christmas model they had outside.
One more from Kezia's birthday
This is a photo that Grandad took the day after Kezia's birthday, but we only just got a copy of the picture. Kezia is very pleased with her new 'Hello Kitty' scooter, and has already scooted all over Woodley on it (lots and lots

Kezia is famous (well, sort of....)
We are very pleased that Kezia is featured on the fans' page in last week's Tranmere Rovers programme (v Portsmouth, 08/12/12). It is a shame the silly people could not spell her name right on the photo (though they do in the text at least), but nonetheless, we are very excited about it. Kezia is delighted and is going to take the programme to school for 'show & tell'
Baby Ioanna
Last weekend, we went to visit our friends David & Kalliopi and their lovely new baby girl Ioanna. She is a sweetie (and was asleep most of the time).
Marble maze!
Just one of the masses of different designs that Kezia has built so far with her birthday marble maze. She is terrific at designing and building them and we are all having loads of fun playing with the whole set. It is a big hit!
Frosty spider's webs
It is VERY cold at the moment (minus 5) and every morning the tree outside our front door is covered with frosty spider's webs. It is quite spooky.

Lots of fun at the Abbey School fundraiser 'Glitter Ball' at the Hilton Hotel
On December 1st, we had a posh night out (the dinner suit was borrowed!) at the Abbey School ball at the Hilton hotel. It was great fun. We don't scrub up too badly!

Football interlude
A bit of a self-indulgent non-Kezia section here. I will never be much of a photographer, but I was quite pleased with these few from the FA Trophy 1st round match between Maidenhead United and Sutton United at a distinctly chilly York Road on Tuesday evening. Match report: Maidenhead were useless and Sutton won 1-0.

Some of the kids lining up to start one of the games
Adam, Ewan, Nathan, Kezia, Olivia, Molly, Daniel, Bekah, Huw, James and Ruby
Fun at the party
Kezia had her party at Woodford Park Leisure Centre and it was great. There was a bouncy castle and the two helpers, Sam and Sam (!), kept all 16 kids busy and entertained and having fun for a whole hour before it was time for party tea. It was really good.
