Yes, folks. This is our rather late Christmas entry for the blog!
We had a lovely Christmas. As you have seen already, Kezia did lots of wonderful things in the run up to Christmas Day.
There were some fantastically humorous moments to the whole affair, but none more so than when Kezia sang us Little Donkey. It was only then that we realised she had misheard the word Bethlehem. Our little girl, god bless her little cotton socks, was singing "Ring out those bells tonight. Daphne-hem, Daphne-hem ..."
Actually, the amount of Christmas songs that Kez has regaled us with over the last few months has been ever growing. For those who don't know, Kez sings all the time. Wherever we go there is a little hum accompanying us along the way. She likes to make up her own songs too ... most of them revolve around Harry, Massive Ruth, and the Pretty Lady (who are my lovely cousins that she visits regularly).
So, the first part of our Christmas gift to you all: Kezia singing her favourite Christmas Songs
Christmas itself was an amazing affair. On Christmas Eve we took Kez to see the Christmas Display and The Big FC at Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, before rushing home to put out the reindeer food in the garden just before clambering into bed.
She awoke with great gusto on Christmas morning and opened all of the presents in her stockings on our bed. Then we went downstairs to open the final piece of our advent calendar. Grandma Watkinson makes myself and my brother a home made advent calendar each year. She used to do it for us a lot when we were little and since Kezia has been with she has re-started the tradition. It must cost her a small fortune in sweets and little stocking filler gifts, but we do love it. Thanks mamma! xxx Anyway, on Christmas morning we opened our last present - which Kezia initially thought was just tissue as it was wrapped up in reams of the stuff!
We went into the front room to discover that Father Christmas had drunk his sherry *hic* and eaten his chocolate coin (we're non-conformist in this house!) and written us a lovely letter. Then the mountain of presents was destroyed within seconds! chuckle.
We had a wonderful time ... thank you to everyone who sent us gifts. We loved all of them and it was lovely to be thought of.
Love to you all
