About Christmas

I have been aware that Nemily was working on a scrapbook for her sister as I have been asked to help on occasion but having now seen the finished product it embarrasses me to even give the impression I helped in the creation of what I can only describe as a piece ART that just so happens to be about our lives. It truly is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and taking the following photographs could never do justice to how much thought and creative imagination there is or just how much work has gone into every single page.

Your sister has been in tears pouring over every inch of her scrapbook and is certain she has the best sister in the world (although Lincoln disagrees hehehehe) I have looked through it twice and photographed it once and I do not think I have seen half of what you have put into it. You must have spent hours and hours creating it and I just want to say you have made your sister very happy and proud today because she has been gushing to anyone who will listen about what a great sister you are…although I know she knew that before.

After going to see the pantomime Cinderella at the Lyceum both children were exhausted and fell asleep very quickly in the car for the journey home. On the way home Reagan was talking in her sleep and saying over and over in a sleepy soft voice

“Cinderella, Cinder….ella…..Cinder……”

I only wish we had captured it on video!

This years Panto at the Lyceum Crewe was Cinderella “ooooh yes it was!” and Lincoln loved it when awake and Reagan REALLY REALLY loved it ALOT!

With Lincoln being so poorly all we did was make sure he was comfortable and Reagan enjoyed whatever toys she wanted to play with and I made sure non of the Christmas “spirit” was wasted

I wanted to make a Christmas gift for Jamie that cost nothing but would also make her feel excited and fulfilled also, so I decided to try and get intouch with Clarke Vestal a pastor that brought Jamie through her hour of need and he is someone she still speaks so highly of I thought I would find out where he was and ask him if he would take a minute out of his Christmas to say Merry Christmas to Jamie? Well I do not think it could have gone better Clarke is clearly the nicest man ever I know your reading this Clarke so THANK YOU for putting the biggest smile on Jamie’s face

Reagan was so scared to come down stairs because when I said Santa’s been she thought he was sat down stairs ? When the only people sat down stairs were Nemily and Grandma on skype…

Christmas eve was hectic as you have probably just seen but I think being Santa setting up the last few presents (A trampoline and a scooter), wrapping them and finally setting them all up for Reagan and Lincoln to come down to on Christmas morning was the most exciting and fulfilling thing I have done.

I don’t think I could be any happier than tonight

After church we sat and watched The Snowman and for 30 minutes both Reagan and Lincoln never moved from where they sat

After the Snowman it was get ready for the big man himself…

Put out a sign so he doesn’t forget us and sprinkle some Reindeer food on the lawn

A mince pie for Santa, a carrot for Rudolf, some Reindeer food for the others and a BIG glass of red wine to quench Santa’s thirst 😉 and hangup our stockings

After that bedtime

Tonight we went to see Mommy sing in the choir she was so nervous but I told her that she will be wishing it would last all night as soon as she gets going. Reagan and Lincoln with Nanny for support joined me to watch Mommy sing…
