Look At The Snow

It looks like we had a lot of snow but by the afternoon it was all gone....


Look out Max! Marina has a snowball with your name on it.

Marina Plays in the Snow

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

The very morning after India left for Australia the snow began to fall ...

Mummy was very upset that India had missed the snow but Marina managed to go outside and play in the snow. It was very cold and we all had to wrap up to keep warm. Here you see Marina with a snowball getting ready to throw it at Max!

Jonathan, Josie & India

The house is very empty without India. Josie V is the only child in the house tonight and she is snuggling with her tassle blanket that India and her made together. Josie V is borrowing India's dressing gown tonight.

Jonathan has gone on a sleepover with his friend Alex, and for a change Josie V and Jonathan are with us for the whole weekend as their Mum has gone to Rome for a mini break. Which means we are lucky enough to have J and J all the way through till Monday morning when we shall take them to school.

We were trying to think of things to do this weekend.....and have decided upon trying to get some fresh air.

Marina is going to watch a netball match with Josie on Saturday, so watch this space for some photos.

Me Dancing!!

Ballerina and Max

This is me in my ballet outfit and I am cuddling my dog Max. He loves me cause he gave me dog loves three times.

I did a show today for Jan-jan, Larry and Mummy and they all clapped me and said that I was very very good. When I am in Australia with my Daddy I am going to make sure that he lets me do ballet dancing. I have all the clothes cause Mummy bought them for me.

Today we went to a ballet shoe shop and they fitted me for ballet shoes. There was a real ballet dancer in the store and she was dancing on her tip toes in special shoes called point shoes. She was very graceful. She had to put special sheepskin bits inside her shoes to protect her toes.

You Shall Go To The Ball

Belle from Beauty & The Beast and Cinderella got together for the ball at Teagan's house.

There was a dire shortage of Prince Charmings but this did not bother the girls who enlisted Teagan's brothers Nathan and Finley to dance with them.

Koolah Came to Stay

What could be better than chocolate? A chocolate Labrador named Koolah.

No need to hoover up the crumbs after any meal with this woofer around. Max didn't even get a look in if anything fell from the table as Koolah was there in a flash.

India really enjoyed Koolah's company, but Max really holds the key to India's heart.

Deck The Halls

It's serious work decorating your Christmas tree...."Serious Fun" that is!

Josie and India had great fun whilst decorating the Christmas tree at Jan-jans with some help from Lauren, Jan-jan, Josie and Larry.

Mince Pies & Christmas Puddings

And all home made! India and I arrived in England on the 9th of December and straight away India got down to the business of mince pies and Christmas puddings.

With the help of Jan-jan and of course Max the wonderdog, who found it all a little tiring and had to have a little nap under the bench, Jan-jan and India made in total 3 dozen mince pies, 2 large and 1 small Christmas Puddings.

The mince pies didn't last long and the last of the Christmas puddings was eaten only a few days ago. Yum yum.
