We are all beyond excited for Christmas this year. Henry is full of 'hohoho's whenever he sees a picture of Santa and we can't wait to build all of his toys with a bottle of mulled wine one night soon when he is in bed. We are so excited to see his face on Christmas morning when he realises Santa has been and to spend time with all of our family in the coming weeks. I may have gone a little OTT and booked pretty much every Christmas event possible for the next few weeks but it's all so exciting, Christmas truly is magical again when you have little children.
Yesterday we went to the garden centre to choose our tree. Henry was so excited; he couldn't understand why on earth we were putting a huge tree into our car and then carrying it into our house!
We then went for pancakes and waffles at a little Austrian cafe down the road. Mummy and Daddy had boozy hot chocolates and Henry had a juice with his and he was in such a gorgeous mood, we were so proud of him.
We then came home to decorate our tree. I had a little helper this year which was lovely, not so helpful but I wouldnt change it for the world.
We then picked up Marmar and headed down into Lanchester for their Christmas light switch on. It's so well organised and lovely, the parish council pay for juice and sweets for all the children, as well as a little wrapped present, and there were mince pies and mulled wine for the adults. There was a brass band playing and a choir singing carols too, all very 'Lanchester' and so so lovely.
This morning we were up bright and early to go to Fenwicks for Breakfast with Santa. We had a look in Fenwicks window first and then headed upstairs for our breakfast.
It was really well organised, very reasonable and we had a lovely time. Henry wasnt sure of Santa, he was interested in him, watched his every move, but wasn't overly happy about having him at our table!!
Henry loved his breakfast of pancakes and berries and daddy and I had a feast too. We'll definitely be back next year, it was really great.
Overall a lovely start to our Christmas festivities!
