December Daily (Catch Up)

Day 19

The second page shows some of the ornaments, collected over the years,  that come out year after year. 

Top left is the exception to that statement as it's Alice's first ornament; Top right: material hearts I made a number of years ago; Middle row: glass ornaments bought at the same time; Bottom Left: little Bichon Frise ornament my Mum bought when we got our Bichons. Bottom right: a little wooden ornament I bought in Denmark in 1984.

A few photos

We had some snow fall yesterday and this morning had a thin layer on the ground. However, it's since continued to snow and these photos were taken around 10.30am.

I took another photo around 11.30am but haven't had a chance to upload it yet, it's enough to say there is probably another 2 - 3 inches on top of what you see here!

This was taken yesterday afternoon after we got home from doing some Christmas shopping :)

 And these next two are what we often see when we go to check she's still asleep in her crib! Let's just say Alice isn't that keen on sleeping at the moment and tends to fight it as long as possible!

 Grandpa's turn to give her a bottle

 And Aunty Em finally got a turn to feed her too. She'd been off school for nearly two weeks with a horrible cold, cough and sore throat but finally went back to school on Thursday. While she wasn't well she was keeping away from Alice but she can now finally hold her again :)

When a bath was needed in a hurry, the kitchen sink seemed as good a choice as any ;) and Alice didn't seem to mind!

On Wednesday afternoon we went round to Mary's for haircuts. Roxy loves Emily :) and is happy to lie on her lap.

Mary finally got to meet Alice. She had been going to come and visit the week after Alice was born and then we had all the snow.

I now need to go and start wrapping some presents and I've still got a few days worth of December Daily to catch up on so I guess I should go and get a move on.
Have a lovely weekend.

December Daily Day 13

Tried to update the blog last night but Blogger wasn't uploading photos. I've now posted Day 11, 12 and 13 and am up to date :)

 Journalling reads: Claire, Alice, Mum and I went to do the Sainsburys shop this morning. We bumped into Kay, Theresa and Alyssa and arranged to have a coffee when we'd finished. Alyssa was very cute today and quite fascinated with Alice. I wonder what the two of them will get up to when they're a bit older. Cloud came back from the dog parlour nice and clean. Claire made dinner - Carbonara - yum!

Clockwise from top left: Mum and Kay at Starbucks; Alice slept through until we were nearly ready to leave and then woke for a feed (I never realised they're not allowed to let you have hot water for babies bottles!); Liz and Bob at the dog parlour; Alyssa :)
