Christmas in Glasgow

Santa brought me lots of presents, because I have been a very good girl this year:


Upsy Daisy:

My two newest words are "presents" and "Santa"

Cardonald's latest girl group:

Do you like my Christmas party dress?


Sylvie and I sharing a Christmas balloon:

Dressed and ready for church:

Christmas tree

We have our Christmas tree up at last...

What's that under there? Is that a wee present? for me...?

Bray

Today we went for a country walk to Bray, which is the culinary capital of Berkshire. I saw a Horse. Hallo Horse!



I stopped for a moment to contemplate the ducks, like a minor character in a Chekhov play:

We enjoyed a famous luncheon at the Hind's Head. Uncle Chris was visiting:

And Michael and Bal joined us:

The whole gang (dad, me, Michael, bal, Kerin, Chris, Mum):

Mmmm delicious

Guess who?

So it looks like mum and dad are having another baby. Here is a picture:

The baby is coming in May or June.

I wonder what name they will call the baby? Knowing them it will be something daft.

Horatio Vancouver for a boy.

If it's a girl, Persephone Conundrum.

The Beatdown

How do you like your eggs?
I like them smashed all over the kitchen floor.
That's what we call the beatdown.

Craig wants to be a politician.
He thinks he can hold me on his knee and pose me for a nice photo.
I had to give him the beatdown too.

Oh yeah

Golden girls

I had a great time in Florida.
It looks like Grandma Sherry is about to eat me:



Now how does this work...?



Oh I get it

Lounging by the pool:

And this is Conchy Joe's, the best restaurant on the Treasure Coast:

Katharine Dove Snodgrass

Hi there, it's been a busy couple of weeks, so I have a backlog of photos. I've been visiting my new buddy Katharine. Here she is with her mum, Liz:


And here she is with my mum too:

I learned that when you play with a wee baby you have to be VERY GENTLE

Here is Katharine with her Gran. A real family portrait this one, because Katharine looks just like her uncle John here too!

Still got my holiday photos to sort through - later this week, I promise

Autumn is here

Now that autumn is here, Dad has been busy raking up the leaves in the back garden.
And we all know what leaf piles are for...



Also, these are my last remaining pictures from my visit to Kew Gardens:

Map reading

Last week at Kew Gardens dad let me read the map:

I'm sure it was second left after the Oaktree...

Grandpa Bruce read me bedtime stories:

And we raked up leaves out in the garden:

Now that I'm a big girl, we are all eating the same dinner too:

Grandpa Bruce

Grandpa Bruce and Val came to visit...



He is taller than the slide!



We had a day out to Kew Gardens...

One, two, three..

Zump!

Happy Birthday Gran

It is my Gran's birthday tomorrow. Happy birthday Gran!


This is my new coat. It will keep me warm in the colder weather. Mum got it half price, so that means she saved lots of money just by buying it.



These are the latest pictures of me with my cousins

And here I am reading daddy's magazine:

Very interesting. Did you know Indonesia is at a crossroads?

More boo

Recently i have learned to ride a hippo:


Mum makes a good pillow when I'm tired:

Summer time

I have been having fun this summer time, even if the weather has not been very good.



We went to Isle of Wight:

And stayed in a tent:

And rode on a tractor:

And sat in the sun:
