Little monkey

Today Elliot found she could clime over her car seat onto the parcel shelf of the car, luckly the pushchair was in the boot as our parcel shelf is not solid. She thought it was wonderful and i just couldnt resist a photo :) shes doing something new every day its an amazing time :)

Another Santa Visit

After the visit to see Santa at Raby we thought we'd take Elliot to see him again but this time at the Metro Centre, he's a busy man this year, he seems to be everywhere we go! We think she's starting to understand now that the jolly old soul gives her nice toys!

Raby Castle Riding Santa's Sleigh

After visiting Santa, he let us sit in his sleigh, he had to tie it down though, otherwise we might have floated away!

Raby Castle Santa's Grotto

Elliot was a little shy of Santa but Lady protected her whilst she plotted to grab the pressie!

Raby Castle Before Santa

Before seeing Santa Elliot was really looking forwards to meeting the jolly red man, and celebrated with lots of smiles and running around the lovely grounds.

Christmas Angel

Mummy and Daddy try to get a good photo for the greeting cards but Elliot tries to explain that the Christmas outfit is supposed to wait until Christmas day!

Christmas Tree time!

We put the Christmas tree up early this year, Daddy normally prefers to put it up late, but is feeling the Christmas cheer early. Elliot loved helping Mummy to decorate the tree this year, we think the beads were the biggest hit... although she definitely loves removing the fancy decorations from the tree too!
