Today the kids break up for the Christmas holidays.
I travelled to Devon with my, mum, dad, and Winston just in time for the school Christmas holidays and the Santa train in time to surprise my niece when she finishes school.
I woke up and was washed and dressed for 7am because I had to finish some work before I left and the deadline for that was midnight and I had to wash my hair and pack.
We left Cornwall, around 10.30am after the bins had been emptied and left for Devon.
The journey was fairly busy considering it was mid-morning and we arrived just before 12 midday because the road works in Temple are a nightmare at the moment.
Roll on the day when they complete them!
When I arrived in Devon, I completed the rest of my work.
We hadn’t told my niece that we were coming, so I picked her up from school and surprised her.
She was also really pleased to spot another surprise when she came home from school.
She hadn’t seen mum since her birthday at the end of October.
We spent the evening playing Christmas songs, watching my niece and nephew sing and dance to them.
The kids choose some of their favourite songs, which we played on the computer which include; Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas and Wham’s Last Christmas.
We finished off the evening by planning an Elf invasion for kids and watching a film on Amazon Prime.
My sister bought the Elf on the Shelf kit, so the Elves have to play tricks on the kids for the first 25 days of December.
The kids are given a chart to record their good and bad behavior
My brother-in-law wrote a letter from the Elves to the kids so that they would find the letter from Santa in the morning when they woke up.
I had hoped to get this blog post written and up on the blog, however due to unexpected problems, with both laptops, I was unable to complete blogmas on both blogs in time.
It was well past 11pm when I decided to call it a day and go to bed because I had an early start the next day.
How are your Christmas preparations going?
