Today was the last day of term for school as well as Krystal's rising 5's group party.  Her friend Hannah came here for lunch as her mum was at work and I got them both ready for the party.  They were SOOOO excited! 

They wanted their hair all curled too, they're gonna be so funny as teenagers getting ready to go out!

Today we headed out to Drum Castle with the kids for a "festive extravaganza" - what we got was something completely different and we felt very ripped off, but I won't dwell on that. We'd wakened up to snow this morning so the grounds were utilised for me taking photos, the kids throwing snowballs and climbing trees as well as the obligatory snow angels.

It's FINALLY starting to feel a bit Christmassy!

Now that it's been given to those who would want it, I can put it on here.  I didn't want a photo of one in uniform and one of them not so opted to just have nice clothes on.  Hope you like :)

Today was my turn to have Mummy & Daddy to school to watch my show.  It was called "Our First Nativity" and we sang lots of songs. 

I was really nervous about going on the stage (I didn't do it at all last year) but once I was there is was ok. 

There were lots and lots of Mummies & Daddies watching us, but it was good fun.  We wore tinsel on our hair like angels too.

Today was Kory's school Christmas concert.  Gone are the days of Christmas concerts being kids singing Christmas songs.  Oh no, dressed as cowboys, performing a show where they have a ho-down in a barn around about a woman having a baby called Jesus.  Narrated by a fieldmouse no less.  Confused?  So were we. 

AND - we were charged £2.50 each to go and watch it.  For licensing fees apparently.  Bring back Away in a Manger, Jingle Bells and We Wish you a Merry Christmas I say, and free entry!
