Sorry the blogs been slow this year. We have had a very sad start to 2012 as Grandad died at the beginning of the year. We’ll all miss him lots but are glad we have so many good memories together. This was our last family outing on 31st December 2011. We all went up to Leith Hill for Uncle Matthews birthday and climbed the tower. It was freezing cold and we sat and had cake and hot chocolate before setting off home to warm up. Sadly we didn’t get a better photo of all of us but this one reminds us of what a great day we spent together all the same.
Seth was 6 yesterday. He had a fun morning before school opening his presents and after school had a Spy party. 8 Dinosaurs had escaped and Seth and his friends turned into detectives for the evening, disguising themselves as Dinosaurs and then solving puzzles and finding the escaped Dinosaurs which were hiding around Harbour Avenue. After finding all 8 the gang came back home for a well deserved tea of chips and veggie fingers and ice cream with birthday cake. All Seth’s friends have gone into school with their Dino tattoos on today, lets hope they wash off before the nativity play tomorrow.
As an early birthday treat we took Seth and Eli to meet the reindeer and see Santa at Bird Farm. We bumped into Ollie and Bry too and they all went to see Santa together.
We went back to Sussex for Isla and Georgina’s Christening. We got to see lots of family that we haven’t seen for a long time. I’m met my Great Aunt Sylvia who I haven’t seen for 5 years. She said I’d grown a bit since the last time we met.
