Well it would seem that time is flying by so fast that I completely missed last Monday! So here I am on this Monday recovering from yesterday. It is a family tradition that we have a pre-Christmas family lunch on the weekend closest to Paul’s birthday so we had everyone here yesterday. It was also the Sunday that our local Round Table group drive around with Santa’s sleigh and he is scheduled to go past our house about 6pm. Let’s just say that excitement levels were running very high! It seemed that 6pm was never going to come and then we heard the music playing in Santa’s sleigh
The children were so excited - oh if only you could hold onto that magic. The squeals of delight must have been heard throughout our road, except for Olive who suddenly felt a bit unsure and sought refuge in her daddy's arms.
We had quite a lot of socialising last week, an art exhibition for Paul's paintings, a dinner with my Zumba ladies, lunch with my knit and natter group, a viewing of Rosie's nativity show and it was also Paul's birthday so I am grateful for some spare time just to settle and enjoy some quiet time this week.
I am booked in to help in Leo and Rosie's classes on Tuesday with some craft activities so that will be like stepping back in time. For 10 years back in the 1990s I was a classroom assistant, little did I know I'd be back again (just for an afternoon) 35 years later!
Have a good week x

Happiest birthday wishes to Paul! I can feel the excitment even from here...it is that sheer child-like joy that really makes the holiday so very special! Enjoy it all....and all your activities!! You (and me both) are going to need a nap come January!!
Lots of celebrating. Happy belated birthday wishes to Paul. Hope the afternoon helping with the children is fun & that a take away dinner is planned.
