Christmas Day Tears....

... from a heartbroken Megan
 as Matt Smith regenerated in the Christmas Day episode of Dr Who.

We knew it was going to happen - 
and we are excited to see what Peter Capaldo will be like in the role -
but it is still so sad to see.




Paper Hats...

.... for Christmas Day dinner with Gma and Gpa.







Happy Christmas...

... up at 6.30am to open presents - Father Chrristmas still comes to our house!

Christingle Light


The lights are turned low - we sing Away in a Manger - and Christmas is so nearly here...
 

My birthday lunch...

... at Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Liverpool One.





Friday 20 December 2013

I finally got to the Christmas Markets...

... working full time means no trips out in the week -
so the day after school finished for Christmas we were off to Manchester -
and after some shopping we saw the fabulous Frozen at the Printworks.

4 days left to Christmas!








Wednesday 18 December 2013

The very wettest evening...

.... to be helping collect with the Rotary Father Christmas Float.

There was rain, more rain, wind, torrential wind, a mini gale and finally a hail storm!

But the little children {and quite a lot of adults} were delighted to see Father Christmas

And those who dared open their doors were very generous - 

and fortunatly Megs and Ben could bail out early as we passed our house -

so definatly worthwhile!

{Photo before the rain arrived!}

Christmassy Sunday at Liverpool One


It was a busy morning at FMC - I led worship as the children
 {not mine - they are too old - sob} 
did their Nativity Play.

Then off to Liverpool One for lunch at GBK - 
some present shopping
and then watching The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug -
with lots nad lots of lovely Elvish action!

O Christmas Tree

Due to intense nagging from Megs and Ben - 
Up on the 8th of December - a record for us!

Mojo

A Pre-Christmas day trip to London - 
With a morning spent at Covent Garden






Lunch at Steak & Co
 {Seeing this in the New Year}

A quick wonder around the National Gallery Sainsbury Wing
{keeping a close eye out for hidden Zygons}



And the main event - 
Seeing the matinee of Mojo 
{starring all of Megan's lovely young men}



Very rude very violent and very funny.
Megs was a bit disappointed that there was no signing after the performance -

But a festive stroll up a very {very} crowded Regent Street made up for it.



Home by 9pm - tired and happy.
