Joy!

Love the look of pure joy on Lottie's face on this one!

It was a lovely Christmas Eve - nipped to a quiet Sainsburys for the last few bits and by the time we got back my hubby had escaped work for the holidays. We all nipped up to Ossett to deliver some cards to friends of my dad (and a school friend of mine) which was really nice, we got lovely welcomes.

We had a treat for lunch and went to the local pub, then back home to ice the cakes and biscuits and get ready for Santa's arrival. The mince pie, wine, carrot and milk were left out with the magic key, the reindeer food was sprinkled liberally in the garden and Lottie went off to bed quite happily.

We donned Santa hats and got to work - we had just about finished when Stuart went upstairs and intercepted Lottie walking across the landing. She just headed into our bedroom and curled up on our bed to fall asleep again! Lucky escape and a later night than planned!! She couldn't remember any of it so I think she must just have been restless - hope she is not going to start sleep walking though!
