Secret Santa Gifts - Part Two

Bobby got to open the rest of our Secret Santa swap as (you may remember) Amy opened the other parcel addressed to her a few days before Christmas.

The gift is addressed to everyone, so they will have to share.

Wow, it is their very own mobile phone!

Daniel leans over for a closer look.

Bobby takes it out of its box.

They all seem pretty pleased with it!

Next he hands out the chocolates from the delightful Christmas stocking.

There are plenty of chocolates to go around.

Elle, seems very pleased with hers as she looks at it with wonder.  I don't think she has ever had chocolate before.

I am sure they will all be running round very excited after eating all the chocolate as there is even more inside the stocking!

A complete lack of will power...we couldn't wait until Christmas Day.

Both Amy and I were feeling a bit out of sorts today, so we were a bit 'naughty'.

She looked at me with her big brown eyes and I just thought, how could I refuse?

So I agreed she could open one of the parcels from the Secret Santa Swap on the understanding that it would be one less parcel to open on Christmas day.  She seemed okay with that...

Clothes!  Perfect as she doesn't have any apart from the outfit she arrived in and the dress I made her.

Not just clothes she informs me, but 'cool' clothes!  (or is it Trendy?)

She looks very trendy indeed and they really suit her perfectly.

She poses in front of the Christmas Tree.

She couldn't resist going outside in between showers today.

I just love the pink/violet over the turquoise trousers.

These clothes are just perfect for Amy and we would both like to say a very big thank you to our Secret Santa!  Oh and an apology for our complete lack of will power!

Later on I found her just staring at the Christmas tree

She loves the different decorations and wanted to know all about them.

I explained that the boys made the 'stained glass' angel...

...and the Christmas pudding came in a swap I did a couple of years ago.

A new dress for Amy

Today I made Amy a winter dress which will be suitable (I hope) for those special occasions such as parties, Christmas etc...

She has her little cat friend with her.

They are great friends and spend a lot of time together when Amy isn't playing with her best friend.

A Sunday afternoon

The wind is building up outside and it is getting cooler.  The girls have been playing inside today....

Amy & Camille (still waiting on her 'own' name) have discovered a book with cat verses and poems in it.

In her bedroom Peggy Sue is busy working on her journal.

She found a picture she wanted to stick into her journal and is now colouring it in.

Little Owen keeps a close watch.

Careful you don't go out of the lines Peggy Sue...

I'm just checking it is okay

She returns to colouring in the pumpkin head.
