What We've Been Up To...

We are making the most of our family time right now- and here are a few pictures to show you what we've been up to!

First of all, we have the scary/pathetic/skinny Santa that visited Cerys' school. She would have nothing to do with him and who can blame her? At least stuff a pillow in your jacket!

Friday night, we took Cerys on a "date" as she called it - we went out to dinner and then to see Cinderella on Ice. It was a fun night, and I think she felt rather special to be alone with Mommy and Daddy. The chocolate ice cream during intermission was a big hit too! :)

Saturday night we made a Gingerbread House. Well, I bought a kit and we decorated it. I think Bailey ate more of it than she did decorate, but that's okay!

Sunday afternoon we went into town to Winter Wonderland- they have a rides/games, an outdoor ice skating rink and a large Ferris Wheel. We rode this carousel and just watched the ice skaters. Then Marc and Bailey road the Ferris Wheel while Cerys and I watched from below!

Monday we visited Rhondda Heritage Park- it's an coal mine turned into a museum. This time of year you can go down in the mine and search for Santa and his toy workshop. We made reservations for yesterday morning and had a fun time!

Don't they look thrilled?

Each child got a gift from Santa, so the girls are posing with their present after we came back out of the mine. Cerys got a little purple scooter and Bailey got a stuffed Santa.
