Dear Matthew and Toby
In the lead up to Christmas we have attended a few Christmas carol events.
The first was held at Corpus Christi in the final week of school. The two school's choirs performed and we all sat on the grass enjoying their peformances. Matt, you loved running around with your friend Joseph from school and Tobes enjoyed trying to touch ants on the pavement! We had a nice picnic together before heading home.
A few days later we went to my work for more celebrations. Matt, you loved doing craft in the kids corner, including making Christmas decorations, colouring in a nativity scene (which made me ridiculously happy- I want to frame it) and sticking things on a paper Christmas tree. It was great to spend a few summer evenings in the lead up to Christmas just relaxing and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Unfortunately our visit to Santa wasn't quite as relaxing! Matt you loved seeing Santa but Tobes, this year you wouldn't have a bar of it! You screamed and I had to sit next to Santa, and we still didn't get a photo of your face given you were grabbing on to me (totally normal reaction for a toddler). I'm sure we'll look back on in it a few years with a smile, as it totally captured this season in our lives perfectly (as in, we have a toddler in the house), but I'm sorry if you were traumatised! Mama just loves her Santa photos!
Love you boys,
Mum xxx
