Peninsula Christmas Party

So yesterday we all went to the annual Peninsula (Dad's work) Christmas Party in Manchester.
It was very snowy!!!
We went in the train, because Dad took the car, as he was going to a "Men's Breakfast" - a church thing for men.
It was all very exciting!!!!!!
Now I'll show you some pictures...

It was snowy that day, as you can see here.

And when we got there, there was FREE candyfloss!!!!!

Then we went to pet the animals.

There was a snake,

A meerkat,

A lizard 

And even an owl!!!

We all took it in turns to hold and pet the owl.

Even Mommy!!

She was absolutely beautiful.

And we petted the meerkat too.

Mom and Dad definitely enjoyed it!!!

Notice the meerkat looking into Dad's face, puzzled, as he pretends to be a meerkat!!!

It looked so chilled out and cute!

Then we went to Santa's Grotto.

He gave us all presents, of which mine and David's were the same..!

Then we went and had our picture taken sitting in a wooden sleigh with a real (coughing!!) reindeer!!!

I got my face glittered, and got a unicorn tattoo!

(sorry I don't have a picture of it but if I took one now it wouldn't be that good as the tattoo is already coming off..!)

And finally, we went in a big snowglobe to take our pictures.

Well...phew!! It was an amazing experience, and I hope we can go next year...

See ya,

A Fun Food Craft :)

What you need:
 - an orange/tangerine (a tangerine would be more easier to work with)

All you do is peel it, (maybe trim it a bit with scissors)
draw some eyes and you're done!!

See ya,

Happy Advent!!!

Yesterday, we celebrated the night before advent (where we had candles and a cookie and some warm tea, and read a special advent reading by Anne Voskamp - called Unwrapping the Greatest Gift). I don't know if you celebrate Advent, but if you don't, then you should. We also get new pyjamas too, which is one of the reasons why we look forward to Advent. Here's a picture of all the candles we burned XD

Thanks for reading this, and happy Advent!!!!!
