Siblings – December

09/12/201401/06/2016

For the last few years, I have taken a photo of Jessica (and later Sophie too) to go on the Christmas card. We didn’t do this for Jessica’s first Christmas as she was in hospital having had open-heart surgery and sending cards that year was very low on our priority list. The following year, our… Read More

Seeing the Christmas lights

After being cooped up at home for most of the week due to Sophie being poorly, it was a relief to finally get out of the house towards the end of the week and go into town to have lunch with Grandma and do a bit of shopping. Both Jessica and Sophie needed new shoes… Read More

31 days of Christmas books

02/12/201421/05/2015

For December, I’ve swapped out the books on the girls’ bookcase and replaced them with Christmassy books instead. Next year I might be organised enough to wrap some for a book Advent calendar but this year we’ll just pick one each day to read together. We have a mixture of board books for Sophie and… Read More
