O.M.G. / H.N.Y.

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since my last post!! I guess I've been busier than a busy thing and to be fair we've had Christmas and New Year in between, including trips up to Liverpool and Lincolnshire too...

So... here's a brief 'information update' followed by a ton of photos... and I promise to try harder for my next update!

Christmas hols started in earnest with my 'headlining' performance at my schools xmas concert, which saw me front and centre for renditions of: When Santa got Stuck Up The Chimney, Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star & We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

Then on Sunday 16 December, me and Dad went to the Bunny Park for almost three hours! We had a great laugh, saw loads of animals (some pictorial evidence below) and got a bit of fresh air / exercise into the bargain...

Sunday 23 - we drove up to Liverpool and got ready to sleep in our new inflatable bed (no photos of this day!).

Monday 24 - Uncle Steven's birthday! We didn't do much aside from a few last minute preparations as Mum was cooking Xmas dinner for the five of us!

Tuesday 25 - Christmas Day! I woke at 7.43am - not too early and my first thought was "he hasn't been" because I didn't hear any noises in the night, but when I checked, "YES!" he'd been and left me TWO sacks of presents, including the one thing I had asked for all along - a pair of blue rollerskates. THANK YOU SANTA!!!

Wednesday 26 - we went to Hall Road beach to check out the erm, beach : ) it was f-f-freeeeeeezing, but I managed a couple of small sandcastles with some lovely seashell decorations (pic below).

Thursday 27 - we went to Ormskirk to see Uncle Mario & co., starting with some lunch at a lovely local pizzeria, followed by a trip to their house to play on the Wii...this was one of several late nights for me over the holidays 'cause we didn;t even get back to Crosby until about 8 o'clock.

Friday 28 - Panto time! "Oh yes it was!" - we went to the 2pm performance of Cinderella starring Liz McClarnon and Coleen Nolan Let's just say, a great time was had by all AND it featured a clip of Gangnam Style!!

Anyways... LOTS more stuff to write - just give us a few more days and we'll get to my first trip to the cinema and our trip to Lincs...
