pictures from the past month! part one
at a local shopping centre there is a ferris wheel and a couple of wee rides that were put up for Santa’s arrival and have stayed beyond that. As a treat, we took the children to the rides one cold evening. Believe it or believe it not I actually went on the ferris wheel. Nearly got sick for it but I still went!
next in the month, we decorated the christmas tree. Well the children and The Husband did. Insane Mother of Three was incharge of putting the lights on and was then delagated to taking pictures. A couple days after the tree was up Wee Blonde Child asked one afternoon, “where’s the fairy?” while pointing at the tree. Little did I know that the tree had been knocked a couple days earlier and the angel had fallen and broke. So a new “tree fairy” had to be acquired.
next in our adventurous December Oldest Large Child’s Chirstmas concert. She was a reindeer who actually got to stand and speak. I was also video taping that part of the concert so I don’t have many pictures as our video camera is not digital (I know GASP!!)
next was a trip to Dublin, but I’ll post those pics separeatly as there are many!
Then we had a trip to visit Santa at a place called Litlle Acre Open Farm. While the farm is open for trade all year long we only go at Chirstmas as The Husband’s brother has a wee hobby farm and the children are able to see touch, feed, ride and/or run from all sorts of animals all year long. At Christmas Little Acre Open Farm does the place up in lights and they even have a wee cottage where Santa is waiting to have a wee visit with the children as they are ready. You can spend a good couple hours there seeing the animals (chasing the cats as ours did!) touching/petting the ones that let you touch them, playing on the wee playground, having your visit with Santa and a cup of tea with a bisquit (cookie) afterward. We went with the Burns Family who recently become friends and caregivers for the children after we moved away from being their neighbours for three years!
it is now feeding time at the zoo here so I will post the rest, including the trip to Dublin, later.
Please pardon any spelling mistakes, the spell checker isn’t working , I’ll edit later.

Quite helpful piece of writing, thanks for the post. 2 site here. Thank you for your article, really helpful material. 0 6 6. This won’t really have success, I feel like this. 6 check 1. This can’t have effect in actual fact, that’s exactly what I suppose.
