December 2.007

This month is my birthday!!! Its soooo exciting, I had a cake with my friends of the Peerie Nippers playgroup on Thursday, and Louise (Jessica's mum) gave me a very soft reindeer. Granny and Grandpa came over on the 7Th, we went for lunch at the museum and then we visited Great granny, after that we went home and waited for Daddy coming back from work. Daddy cooked a paella and after that I had my presents, Granny and Grandpa gave me a tent with a tunnel and Mummy and Daddy an Ark with animals (a gorilla, a parrot, a teddy and a giraffe) they are great presents, aren't they?

On Saturday, the presents from uncle Sean, auntie Becky and my cousin Isla arrived on the post, they got me a pushing pelican and a pulling string cat, we called the cat Skimbles, because of theirs neighbours cat. I really like cuddling Skimbles.

On the afternoon I had my birthday party, there were balloons and lots of food. I had a very nice birthday with Great granny, Rosemary, Alan, Emma, Jim, Lesley, Eva, Leah, Liam, Callum, and of course with Mummy, Daddy, Grandpa and Granny, (poor Granny she wasn't feeling very well because she had a really bad cold). I got lots of lovely pressies, like a jacket, two hats, a pair of gloves, a pair of shoes, two shirts, a piano, and a teddy.

I was very tired after the party, because I was so excited during the day that I didn't had my nap, I slept a bit and then I had diner and Grandpa gave me a bath, we had a really good time!!

On Monday, Granny and Grandpa were gone, I really mised them, but Mummy says that they are going to come back very soon for Christmas. Mummy and I went to the playgroup Christmas party, I had a very good time with my friend Jessica, eating party food and waking along in the playgroup baby walker. The best thing was that suddenly we heard a bell and everybody got very quiet, all the mums took their children and went to one part of the room, everybody was smiling so I knew that everything was OK. We heard the bell a few times and then Santa Claus came into the room!! He was wearing a red coat, trousers and a hat, had a big white beard and... massive sunglasses? Mum thought that the sunglasses were quite funny. He had two big bags of presents and gave one present to every child, I got a wooden toy with four sticks that fit into four holes and if you press them they jump out, I still haven't got the hang of it.

Mummy asked Santa if it was OK for me to sit on his lap so she could make a picture, here you can see me with Santa Claus.

Christmas!!!

At last! Mummy decided that we should have a 'proper-natural' Christmas three this year, it is small but we'll put it in the garden when the weather gets better (Mummy says that probably July if we are lucky). Mummy and Daddy put Christmas decorations on it, but I decided to change the places some of them...

Another day Mummy found a Christmassy hat an decided that I looked so cute that she took some pictures of me...

Daddy arrived and we opened the daily window of my advent calendar...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!

Granny and Grandpa arrived on the 23rd to stay with us during Christmas and look after Pepa when we go to Spain for New Year. We had a very good time, on the 24th Mummy and Daddy invited their friends Stephan and Lorraine for "Nochebuena" and on the 25th we invited Greatgranny for Christmas dinner. But the most exciting thing was wake up on Christmas day and see all the presents under the tree!!! I got a trike, some bath toys (a boat, a Nena and an orca), a dress, a jacket, two sets of plate, bowl and cutlery, books, a wooden musical bench...

Here we are Grandpa and me ready for Nochebuena!!!

Having breakfast with Granny on Christmas Day, look at my new bib!!!

This musical bench looks pretty noisy and fun!!!

Hasta el infinito y más allá!!! Interesting tag!!!
