A Drunken Dinosaur on a London Bus

In the night all we could hear was falling ice, big chunks were falling off the tree next to our bedroom window and it kept us awake for most of the night. I was too hot and opened a couple of windows as my voice started to go again. Then at 4am we had a power cut that lasted about 45 minutes and woke us when it went off and then again when it came back on. So all in all not a great night's sleep! The boys went to bed in matching PJ's last night. Very cute.

We had a load of Christmas cards delivered today. Some very special ones too.

After breakfast Small had a dragon tattoo applied which didn't work brilliantly because you have to keep very still and that is not something he is able to do.

We all played Tetris Card Game and built Small's London Bus which was very tricky and only Moo and I managed to stick with it, not throw it across the room and finish it with style.

I loved the picture of the box so much I framed it and we hung it in the kitchen. Smallest made a moving dinosaur (well I handed him the right piece to give to Moo). It walked (in a fashion) across the kichen floor in a drunken movement.

Huffle skyped Grandma and had a good chat. It seems Grandad is wearing 'my' socks for another day (that's three then - stinky!).

The boys flew their helicopters, played on the wii and built more lego. Huffle put up pictures and new hooks.

We had dinner late after a lengthy Skype with Aunt Pear catching up on all the news. After dinner we all went for a walk with some Christmas chocolate to keep us going. We built a really quick snowman next to the field. The ice was still falling from the trees and wire. Some of the paths were pure fallen ice. Very strange. We also found Moo a snow/ice hat which she modelled for us.

We walked for about two hours around the village. We had many snowball fights along the way.

We stopped to chat to some friends and made our way back home as the light was fading.

Our igloo has fallen and poor George is 'just' asleep!

Our neighbour told us to make sure we filled out bath tomorrow as we are due to have a lot of 'meltage' and then a huge freeze so we could be in for more power cuts. At least we have plenty of candles this time.
