With the flurry of the Boxing Day sales over where my daughter in law Mel was run off her feet at work, we finally had our chance for the Adams Family Christmas. Seeing as I hadn’t feasted this year it was lovely to get together for a relaxed barbie and salads dinner, exchange gifts, muck around outside when the sun finally came out, watch Zandar’s eyes light up when he ripped open the wrapping paper to find a new truck, and read the Cinderella story to Bella to go with the knitted Cinderella doll made lovingly by a friend. If you’ve ever seen one, they’re 2 dolls in one, Cinderella in her work clothes then you turn her upside down and pull her dress to reveal Cinderella in her ball gown. Quite a work of art.
Had a chuckle hearing of Bella’s acting debut in the Kinder Christmas play. With the kids dressed as shepherds, wise men, animals and angels, she came out accompanied by Joseph carrying a star in the lead role of Mary dressed all in white. Not quite getting the complete picture of the Christmas story yet, she was adamant she was the Princess of all the fairies, and would’ve loved to keep her costume. For her, anything with wings is a fairy, and seeing as she had such an important job she must have been in charge of all the attending angels in the manger. Will have to work on that one!
And so it’s over for another year. I have a shiny new kettle so think I’ll go make a cuppa, put on my new CD, grab my new book, go curl up on the couch and eat some chocolate. Wonderful!
