Play-doh nuts

How much play-doh is it safe for a two-year old to eat?

 

Yo snow!

The excitement of a decent amount of snow was nearly too much for Tom and Will!

 

 

 

Little did they know what was coming in a few days time...

New Year's Day exercise

In an attempt to burn off all of the chocolate that we'd been eating over Christmas, we went on an icy cold walk around Thornhill. Scarves, hats and gloves were a necessity, but even they didn't completely stop us from freezing!

 

 

 

Poor Will - his bottom nearly got frozen to the swing!

The next Max Boyce?

And we were singing, Hymns and arias...

 

Lego-boy

Somebody is very, very, very pleased with all of the Lego presents that he had for Christmas!

 

All Christmased out

Too many days of constant partying can quickly tire out a five-year old and a two-year old!

 

Waste not, want not...

There's only one thing better than Christmas presents - the boxes that the presents come in! Thomas & Will jumped into a perfectly sized box for some adventures.

 

And were in fits of laughter whenever it fell over!

 

Christmas tea

The food just didn't stop coming! It was back to our house for Christmas tea with Granny and Grandad!

 

Musical entertainment provided by Hannah 'One Girl Band' Hurley!

 

Christmas dinner

Even being 8 months pregnant did not get Auntie Jan out of her turn for cooking Christmas dinner this year! And she did a very good job of it (with the help of Uncle Mike!)

 

 

 

Judging by the face he's making, though, Will may have eaten too many sprouts...

 

Christmas presents

Even though Hannah, Thomas & Will have been in trouble almost every day this year, Father Christmas still was kind enough to visit our house last night!

Thomas was chuffed to bits with his new Star Wars Lego X-Wing Fighter (and Daddy is quite excited, too!)

 

Hannah is planning to build a lamp from her Magnext kit, to allow her to read in bed.

 

And Will is going to help Bob the Builder fix it wherenever he possibly can...
