Journalling reads: 24th December - The kids are super excited that today is Christmas Eve, although they are sad that it will soon be time for Candy Cane to go back home to the North Pole. When they came down this morning they thought it was really funny to find him watching Christmas films on my computer. They were really surprised later in the day to hear the special sleigh bells noise to say Candy Cane had done some magic. They came flying down the stairs to see that he was sitting on the sofa with Kinder bears for each of them. It was a lovely surprise in between all of the last minute Christmas preparations. They sat down in the evening to open a few of their presents from Nannie and Grampy. Leia was really poorly and kept being sick. Candy Cane seemed to really love listening to Logan playing with his new drum kit and seeing Lukas’s excitement at his brand new television. 25th December - Lukas managed to interrupt Candy Cane’s last trick, It looks like he was trying to make our living room into a winter wonderland. He had covered the floor with white glitter felt, and placed a big bowl of cotton wool snowballs for the boys to throw at each other but he hadn’t managed to get the fake snow made (add water in a bucket and it increases by 100x)

Journalling reads: 17th December - Found Candy Cane sitting on top of the curtain pole, it took a while for the boys to spot him. That elf is getting very sneaky. 18th December - That cheeky Candy Cane managed to get both of his feet stuck in the pocket’s of the Santa advent calendar, when he was trying to steal the boys chocolate, sometimes he is such a naughty little elf. 19th December - Today was Lukas’s Christmas carol concert. We had found Candy Cane sitting on top of the coat rack. The boys decided this was his way of telling us that he wanted to take another ride in the push chair and see Lukas’s performance since he had already been to see Logan’s. 20th December - Candy Cane was tired out after all of his adventures yesterday. Today was Logan’s last day and both of the boys had their school Christmas parties. When they came in from school, they found him eating a banana, to recover his strength. What was funny though was that later the banana was all gone and Candy Cane had fallen over. Guess he must have ate too much or maybe poisoned himself when he ate the banana and the skin. 21st December - Today was Lukas’s last day of school and since there was an early finish, Candy Cane didn’t find any time to get up to mischief today. 22nd December - Candy Cane was sitting on my desk again, it looked like he was having a very interesting chat with the paper snowman ornament over the kids snow globe. 23rd December - This morning the kids came down to see that Candy Cane was sitting on the shelving unit waiting for them. He had bought each of them a special Christmas Kinder Egg. Unfortunately Mummy forgot to take a photograph of it. Lukas was upset because Leia and Logan had little penguin Christmas ornaments for the tree inside theirs. It was nice to see that Logan decided to let him have his, what he didn’t let on to Lukas was that it was because he had already had one from the egg he got when we went shopping in Tesco.

Journalling reads: The boys were so surprised to receive another message from the elf this morning. He said that it turned out his leg was only badly sprained and Santa had managed to fix his leg enough so he could come and visit with us. They found him sitting in the Christmas Tree. 9th December - This morning we found Candy Cane in the cereal cupboard, peeking out of one of the cereal boxes. The boys thought that it was really funny and said he must have been feeling really hungry. 10th December - We came down this morning to find that Candy Cane had helped Daddy to finish hanging up all of the ceiling decorations in the living room and then he had fallen asleep sat inside one of them. 11th December - Today was Logan’s nativity play at school. We found Candy Cane sitting in the fridge. Since Logan was worried about standing in front of everyone, we decided that it might be nice if Candy Cane came too. He got to ride in the back of the push chair and stay for the whole of the performance. He thought Logan made a really adorable little cow in his play. 12th December - Candy Cane was tired out after his trip yesterday so he spent today relaxing. 13th December - Candy Cane was sitting on Mummy’s printer, we’re not really sure why but he seems to really like to sit up on top of Mummy’s desk. 14th December - We found Candy Cane sitting in the other fridge today. Not sure if he hungry or just missing the cold of the North Pole. 15th December - We found Candy Cane driving the kids toy fire engine on my office chair. I said it was probably because they had made the floor too messy for him to drive on, but they think it’s because he was flying it around the room with his magic. 16th December - Guess Candy Cane was feeling a little crafty last night, as when we came down this morning he was on mummy’s desk next to a cross stitch of a candy cane and the word hi. He is such a clever little elf, the boys are very impressed by his sewing skills.

Journalling reads: This year we decided that it might be fun to start a new Christmas tradition and invite an Elf from the north pole to spend December with us. It was going to be a surprise for the boys but things didn’t exactly go to plan. On the first of December, the boys received some text messages on my mobile phone from their Elf. He told them that he was the elf assigned to them by Santa, but he has slipped on some ice in the North Pole and broken his leg. He said that once they named him, he would receive his magic and he would try his best to make their Christmas special. They chose the name Candy Cane. He told them to listen out for sleigh bells when he did magic and then he left Lego Advent Calendars for them to find. This month is going to be so much fun.

Journalling reads: I really love these photographs of you that I managed to get on the way home from London. You were wide awake so we decided to let you out of the pushchair. The last time that we took you on a train you were too little to care, but this time you were curious about everything. At first I sat you on my lap but you kept playing with the pull down table and trying to peer over the seats. Eventually I just pulled down the table and sat you on it. You thought it was a great seat and were able to use it to enjoy a whole jar of baby food. While you were distracted looking at the lights outside and growling at the sight of your own reflection in the window, I was able to brush your hair and get it into some fairly even ponytails 28th November 2012.

Journalling reads: I have always hated to have my photograph taken when you add in the fact that I really don’t like giving the camera to other people because I am worried that they won’t get all the shots that I want. So we ended up with a lots of photographs from trips and things we did with the kids, where it doesn’t even look like I was there with them because I was always the one behind the camera taking the photos. After Leo died it made me really sad to see how few photographs there were of me with him. That’s when I decided that something had to change. I wanted my kids to know who Mummy was. They won’t care how fat or ugly I look in photographs they will just like to see that I was there with them having fun. Letting go of some of my perfectionism over photos is never going to be easy but I am trying.

Snowball Fight

Journalling reads: When we experienced the higest amount of snow in 50 years, it closed all of the schools for over a week. So it’s kind of ironic that the only chance you got to play in it, was the one day your school managed to open. You and Daddy were able to have some snow fun, including a snow ball fight on your walk home. I’m kind of sad that I missed being there with you, but it was just too cold to take Logan out of the house. At least Daddy remembered to take some pictures so I could see how much fun you had. 13th January 2010.
