Last week of the year

Anki and her lot left on the 25th and mum and dad stayed until the 28th. We had a few fairly quiet days playing with all the new stuff. David and I made a trip to IKEA to get some more storage for the playroom and a bed for Alice. She is now sleeping in a proper bed instead of the cot. She's such a big girl.Elias loves the Lightning McQueen "laptop" he got for Christmas. It is a toy laptop with a tiny display and a few educational games. He's really into his letters so I think it is a good thing...

On New Year's Eve we were supposed to have guests but they didn't want to come when we discovered the kids had head lice. As it turned out our supposed guests came down with a stomach bug as well so I guess it wasn't supposed to happen. We ended up having a quiet night in but dressed up and had some nice food and lit some sparklers at least. David and I just about managed to stay up until midnight.

And now it's 2012... What will this year bring?
