Santa at the Pavillion and the fairy tale tour.

Matilda and Elsie talking to Father Christmas, Uncle Charlie loved it!
Father Christmas was very funny and told some great jokes.....which Mummy can't seem to remember...but they were funny at the time.
Santa's elf was very helpful

Matilda telling Santa she would really love more Zhu Zhu pets!

PORTUGAL - On the beach!

Girls building sandcastles on Aljezur beach, we spent a wonderful day on the beach, uncle Charlie was teaching Matilda to surf and we all played and swam.

Mummy, Gary and the girls went to the restaurant over looking the beach and ate fresh mussels and Portuguese custard tarts.

Update!

We are yet to have a 2010 update so now seems as good a time as any to update! I will also try and fill in the blanks along the way!

I will add pictures from the last 6 months and try and back date some posts as I have been notably rubbish at updating in the last year.

The girls are doing really well and Love living by the sea side, Matilda had a school trip to the beach earlier and Elsie had a singing concert at her nursery, we went to the beach after school and had a picnic.... Mummy forgot that Uncle Charlie and Auntie Kimberly were collecting Tils to take her out for the evening so we had to rush back super fast! Charlie and Kim took Tils to the pier and then had fish and chips on the beach, they bought Matilda home and Charlie carried Matilda to the front door as she was a sleep then placed her on the sofa when he got into the house, Mummy picked her up to put her into bed and she played a trick and jumped up and said 'Boooooo' and made us all jump! The girls are snuggled up in bed now and mummy has just spoken to Nanny Joyce about coming for supper tomorrow.

Preparing for a tea Party and Ruby and Luisa's House for tea

Happy Birthday Uncle Chuck

After we dropped Tils off at school Wig and Mummy went to Collect Uncle Char's birthday Present, then we came home and made a Huge Jelly for his tea party tomorrow night - we are going to make a trifle but we needed to make sure said jelly had set first so we thought over night would be best.
Wig and Mummy had lots of jobs to do today so we got on around the house and then collected Tils from School We walked (I walked and pushed both girls up the hill...but I'm not bitter!) up to Grandma and Grandads, We were surprised to see that Grandma wasn't back from hospital yet so we went down to see Jan while we were waiting for Catherine to get back with Ruby and Luisa, We had a chat and some juice then went up to The Moran House and had a delicious sups of Jacket pots and then strawberries and ice cream for pud, Mummy had to leave the girls there for a bit so that she could go down to Matilda's First parents evening.
Just as we were loading up the buggy Grandma and Grandad arrived back so we went into see them and raid the sweetie bag - the fairies had bought some very grown up poppets and high school musical chocolate bars, Grandad was so Happy with Matilda's feed back from Parents evening he ave her some sweetie money! We walked home and practiced out Halloween witchy walking in the dark!

Happy Birthday Uncle Chuck

Out in Newquay!

Uncle Charlie, Kimberly and Grandma got up really early with Matilda (Matilda went and got into bed with Grandma at 4am she was so excited!) and Elsie today and took them over to the beach, Mummy was able to have a lie in! when they returned we all had a delicious cooked breakfast and then the Children when over to the club house at the caravan site and played at the tots play session, it was very quiet because it was out of season and the girls enjoyed having the toys to themselves! After the Kids club we all went into Newquay town we went for a Cup of tea near to the beach and to a bakers and bought pasties and scones, and then Nanny Joycee and Grandma took Matilda and Elsie on a Noddy train around the town, Grandad, Mummy, Charlie and Auntie Kimberly went exploring (Looking around the shops!) When they had finished on the train we went back to The caravan where we ate the fresh scones with clotted cream and local jam - They were delish!
Then Grandad and Charlie got kitted up to go surfing, Matilda and Elsie had been asleep after such a long morning and when Tils woke up she was too tired too join them so didn't want to wear her wetsuit (which was actually too small as it was from Wales last year), However never one to miss a party the Wiginator wanted to join them and asked to put on Matilda's wetsuit, she kept grabbing Matilda's board and saying 'my go now', unfortunately it was too late and too choppy for her to go - oh and she cant swim!
Nanny Joycee and I took the girls over to the mini disco and had a boogie! Again because it is out of season it was very quiet, The Girls did Musical bumps and Matilda won a holiday mug - which was perfect for her holiday hot chocolate with marshmallows! And then they had to do Angry impressions....Wig did the famous one eyed Willy and won a bracelet!
We went back to the caravan and Grandad had cooked Steak sandwiches and we all watched X Factor....we also ate the fudge we bought in the town earlier that day!

Newquay Baby!

After school today Matilda hopped on the back of the buggy (In the pouring rain!) and Mummy rusked us home where Grandma and Granada were waiting .......to take us to Newquay!
We loaded up the car and got going on our long journey, We were so wet after our school run so we had to dry out on the way!
Elsie has really started to talk alot now, Not all the things she chats about are clear but Im beginnning to know what she means, She was quite clearly saying 'get out now' She had enough of being in the car and was ready to get walking- even if it was halfway there on the motorway at 10pm at night.
We had a long Journey down and arrived Very Late at night it took 6 hours!
We arrived at Holywell Bay Caravan park and found our Caravan (which Matilda renamed the Caravan of Love!)
We got in and Made the beds up and put the Girls down for Sleepy boo peepy!
