Today Krystal learnt to ride her bike! She asked during the week if she could take her stabilisers off and as the weather was mild and sunny today James took her out in the afternoon. In contrast to when Kory learnt, Krystal was offski. She was so proud of herself once she did it. 30 minutes in total. What a clever girl, she's younger than Kory was too :)
Hope Santa is listening - guess what she'll be asking for this year!

They're all funny but in particular watch Krystal.....

Posted By: Julie Tonight the school held a Burns Supper. Kory had been chosen to take part in the military two step with a few of his classmates. Of course, he's partnered with Amy :)
Enjoy!

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 we put up our Christmas Tree 9yes yes I know it's too early - I agree. But we have visitors this week and next weekend and the week after was waaaay too late! We've just done the tree, nothing else)
Tonight we went to see the Coca-Cola truck in town with Melanie, Liam, Leah & Hannah.
We all got a Coke mini can and it was absolutely freezing as Leah and Kory demonstrate.
These 2 events officialy mean it's Christmas time! Ho ho ho!

As we were away for Dad & Tricia's wedding reception last night, we took the kids down to Stonehaven tonight for their fireworks display. It was the first time the kids have seen a bonfire as Aberdeen don't allow one (health and safety or something!) We met up with Melanie, Liam, Leah & Hannah there too, who had the kids overnight last night for us.
Sparklers weren't allowed, so we all came back to the house afterwards to do them.
Fun in the garden
Making patterns
Kids with their sparklers
If anyone can explain who was making this pattern let us know, I've not edited this AT ALL!
What a great night!

This lighthouse is close to our house and with the wild weather we've had recently I thought i'd head down to see how the waves were. I NEVER expected this. The result is way better than I expected and on the photo site I use, it's had some really decent feedback.
