Scarlett's First School Christmas Fair

Saturday at 11 we all headed to her lovely little school and spent a fortune between us on raffle tickets, cards, tombolas, lucky dips, buying tree decs, and decorating Christmas biscuits! I particularly enjoyed that last one, and Scarlett and I made a good job of ours! Can't answer for the rest of the 5 year olds...

Afterwards we all went back to my brother's for coffee and cuddles with Amelie who slept soundly throughout the whole event, despite the loud PA system playing carols and shouting announcements for the school t-towel!

Mum and my brother James waiting for the biscuit decorating to end!!!

And taa daa!!! Here is my work of art!!!!

And still she sleeps...

Back for coffee, Amelie wakes and immediately wants feeding... My mum holding her, while she says 'ere Nan, you wake me up and don't feed me... wants going on!

This was proceeded by a good half hour of crying!!!

Until Auntie Kel gets a hold of her, and she calms down!!!



Had a lovely cuddle and then she fell asleep on me! It's kind of bitter sweet at the moment being near Amelie. I love her, she's my niece and her and Scarlett and Matt, (and Peanut when she/he is born) are so important to me. But looking at my mum's face as I held her, knowing she was thinking what I was thinking, I want one and it's not going to happen, well that was just too painful.
