We then did quite a long car journey and both boys fell asleep which was nice. I popped into a shop to pick up some curtains for Ellis' room and then we went to a garden centre so that we could meet Santa.
First we stopped for some lunch.
Then we went to see how long the queue was. There were about 5 people and we went in straight away! I was very surprised.
The boys sat really nicely and it was brilliant, I loved it! It was the same Santa as last year too which was good.
Leo and Ellis were both fine having their photo taken with Santa too which was great as usually it is quite a struggle and I have to be in it too!
As we left the grotto I grabbed some snow and we had a mini snow ball fight. It was really good fun.
We had a toilet break, changed Leo's nappy and had a look at the animals before going home via Nanny and Grandad George's house.
Christmas Eve was just as busy. First thing in the morning Rob had to go and get a filling at the dentist and I stayed at home with the boys.
On his return, Leo was napping so Rob and Ellis started doing a few things together.
Ellis wanted to make some cookies for Santa, so that's what they did.
Then while the cookies were cooking they did another project.
I popped out to Asda in the afternoon to try and get some wellies but they didn't have any in my size. Boo.
Later on Auntie Lucy, Uncle Craig, Shauna and Ashlee came over for a cuppa and a chat. The kids got on really well and had some fun doing some colouring.
They didn't stay very long and we just chilled out the rest of the day until putting the boys to bed.
Ellis put out his drink of squash and cookies for Santa. He picked the big moon biscuit and one with the letter E on it.
I then spent the evening wrapping presents and putting them under the tree. Went to bed quite late and then Ellis woke up! He just couldn't sleep so Rob ended up staying in with him and I got him back out at about 5:30am. It took a few attempts as he kept falling back to sleep!
