Our January started off pretty quietly; James headed back to work while the girls and I had quite a relaxed end to the school holiday – baking (using a weird recipe in their Christmas book that came out tiny), building lots of LEGO, and generally chilling out and having fun.
December was a really busy month for us, and we had a lot going on with the usual end of term Christmas school events, weekend outings , our 10th wedding anniversary, and of course Christmas and everything that involved. We spent Christmas Day at home and had a very nice Christmas dinner – even if …
We were pretty busy in November, with some fun family outings and also some lovely time chilling at home and walking the latest addition to the family, Gypsy.
