Merry Christmas...

So family has started arriving, and the days are getting louder and busier...
I don't know if I will have time to post tomorrow, so I wanted to wish all of you, but especially those with young families, a wonderful, magical, slightly chaotic Merry Christmas.

Speak soon!

The sleep over...

Oh... Our sleep over lasted 2 nights... the first night was particularly exciting... we took Miss H and cousin C out once it was dark to see a street of houses heavily decorated with Christmas lights... they loved it, but were past it on our arrival home!
Bed time last night was a bit all over the place!  We had two very tired little girls.  Miss H ended up getting a bit upset at bed time, but went off quietly in the end... so as you can imagine, we were all a bit worried about how tonight would go!
Well... it was a huge success!  They both went off to sleep very quietly.. no calling out, no popping out of bedrooms to ask questions.  They talked to each other for a while, then went off to sleep beautifully!


For our little family, this trip has been a massive disruption in our daily routine... and although life is a little more chaotic and busy than normal... I am continually amazed at how well my big girl adjusts to everything that is thrown her way!
