Christmas is coming

The traditional mothers group Christmas party was today.

Louka had made some banana muffins yesterday, and this morning before breakfast she made cream cheese frosting and decorated the muffins with banana chips, glacé cherries and hundreds and thousands. She did a good job.


The party was at a local park. As usual, Santa turned up with a sack of presents: there were quite a lot of children to get presents this year, and according to Santa they had all been good. (Instead of a Kris Kringle, we all just bought our own kids' presents this time, as it has been getting hard to know what to get for others.)


Louka got a story-book and a drawing book. The drawing book was a big hit: when I got her markers out to let her try it out, all the other girls wanted a go.
