Journalling reads: I wish I could explain why whenever I have a parcel delivered, both you and Lukas are both always anxiously awaiting me opening it. Not because you are even interested in the contents, but because you can’t wait to fight with each other over who gets to play in the box. Even at Christmas time you are always more interested in the packaging than the present inside. The part that I find strange is that when Lukas was little he was always using his imagination to make the box into something else, rocket ships, cars, buses and play houses were usually popular choices for him, but you well you just prefer to sit inside them. You park them in front of the television and just sit down and watch tv, Climbing in and out to retrieve various toys and stuff until the box breaks. Strange boy!

Journalling reads: To celebrate our first Bonfire Night in our new house we decided to buy two boxes of fireworks. Logan wasn't keen on the noisy ones but he liked all of the colours and drawing patterns with sparklers.

Harrods Christmas Grotto

Journalling reads: Every year I try hard to plan special trips and activities for Christmas. I am always looking for new ideas for things to do. It started out as just being a way to get some unique Christmas photos, but it has become one of the highlights of the year. I have always wanted to include a trip to the Christmas Grotto at Harrods. It is really difficult to get tickets as they sell out so fast. This year I was able to use my Harrods reward card for advance booking.

Winter Wonderland

Journalling reads: After our visit to Harrods we decided to take a quick look around the Winter Wonderland event at Hyde Park. We waited ages to use the cashpoint inside the gate and honestly, by the time we were finally able to draw out the cash, we had almost decided to just give up and go home. We were all cold, tired and starting to feel really miserable. We had been trying to avoid thinking about it being Leo’s anniversary and how much we were all missing him. We wondered around for a while looking at the Christmas Market stalls, but we just weren’t feeling very festive. Lukas was complaining because I wouldn’t buy tokens for him to go on the rides and we were too late for any of the circus performances. The only thing that managed to bring a smile to our faces were all of the silly photo boards,

Tuk Tuk Ride

Journalling reads: When they first got rid of Beanoland at Chessington, we were not sure what was going to replace it. Lukas was worried that they would get rid of the dodgems and the madhouse. Eventually they announced that thenew area would be a themed area called Wild Asia. The first time we visited after the refurbishment, the boys were really excited to see how it had turned out. The first thing that the boys spotted when we walked into the area were the Tuk Tuk’s. They had a great time just sitting in them and pretending to drive. Even though Logan couldn’t stand up and see over the top of the handlebars.

Rope Climbing

Journalling reads: You have always been really afraid of heights. But you would never admit that in front of Conor. When he headed off up the rope climbing frame you were quick to go right up behind him. You managed to climb all the way up to the first seating level and then you made yourself comfortable to watch Conor climb right to the top.
