Today I took DD4 to a kid's Christmas party. It was great, they had a real tree with loads of lights and the hosts were dressed up as fairies.
DD4 asked why all the people had wings
We were sat at a table (with handmade Christmas Crackers) on our own but then this group of mothers and their kids that I know, saw me and switched tables to sit next to us, which was nice.
There was this HUGE buffet in the centre of the room - we ate so much we could burst.
Then a clown came round (DD4 still a bit suspicious of clowns) and did all these balloon shapes. He made DD4 a balloon in the shape of a giraffe.
Then we sang carols and Santa came to visit the kids. Took a photo of DD4 with Santa. He gave her some wooden puzzles, but would you believe, she was disappointed because she didn't get Clifford the dog!
Kids these days, honestly! I remember at her age being happy with a colouring book from Santa!
Posted my work packages, came home and phoned the bus company re the missing doll and they've found it (minus the bag it came in) so they're holding it for me at the office and I'm going to pick it up on Friday.
I can't believe they've still got it - I thought it would be gone forever. DD4 was so happy when I told her.
Now she's gone to sleep on the floor from exertion and I'm having a cup of tea.
