    Lapland UK Superstar Day 2015

    5th December 2015 /

    Last year we visited Lapland UK and we said we wouldn’t return until Little E was old enough to understand and enjoy the Christmas magic. So you can image Darren’s surprise when I was bugging him to take us again this year. I had looked into Breakfast with Santa at Colchester Zoo again but the increase in price meant there wasn’t that much difference in going there or Lapland UK. The bonus with Lapland UK is that Ethan would get the chance to ice skate again as we are allowed on the ice wearing our snow boots and therefore able to support him. So on the 1st of December Ralph…

    Meeting Father Christmas at Lapland UK

    2nd December 2015 /

    This week we decided to visit Lapland UK again on their superstar day. We visited last year and wanted to give Ethan the chance to ice skate again. I have lots of video and photos to sort through but I wanted to share our Father Christmas experience for our Small Steps Amazing Achievement this week. Ethan knew were we going to meet Father Christmas as he had sent him the letter inviting him to Lapland UK.

    Little E – 6 Months Old

You did miss having your photo taken with Father Christmas as you fell asleep but we took you to Colchester Zoo to visit him so you didn’t miss out.

You experienced your first Christmas and hopefully next year Ethan will let you open your own presents. You were a very lucky girl…

    Me & Mine December 2014

    31st December 2014 /

    This month we have made two attempts to take our me and mine photos. This first was on Christmas eve taken by my mum, Darren looked very moody and Ethan wouldn’t look at the camera. The second attempt was taken yesterday by Grandma during our Christmas visit. Here are the results. I have realised that all of our photos taken so far have been sitting down shots. I would love to be more creative but I’m sure that will be able to happen when Little E is more mobile. The fact that we are able to keep Ethan still long enough for a photo is an achievement in itself! This…
