Buzz and Woody Sleep Over

Earrings from Santa make an appearance (magnets).

Another day at the climbing wall

Sav goes up and down, up and down...like a yoyo.  (Awesome stripy tights by Team Smith)

Glen joins her at 11m on the self belay system.

Mac gets a taste.

Home Sweet Home

Bags covering the floor, empty fridge, five loads of laundry...yup, definitely home!

Jess and Sav Make Sparks Fly

It's back to the future on Jess' new scooter.  And you gotta love how Jess is showing my new work TEAM brand.

*No helmets to be found but Glen was close by to catch and protect...the scooter.

Nonno Rescues Me in Caravanland…twice!

Christmas morning: The shower at Nonno's fades to cold.  Nonno rushes to my rescue and changes the propane tank double quick. (No pic:)
Christmas night:  A chilly night at Barbara and George's where we are staying (here is a pic of me getting ready for sleep).  Heat won't come on.  Nonno comes over in stormy weather to have a look and realises it's the propane.  He changes B&G's tank and the warmth comes quickly.

I am assured that this rarely happens, so a bit surprised that it happened to me twice in one day - Christmas day, no less. Message from Santa?

Thank you to Barbara and George for a great stay in your lovely home away from home.

Christmas Dinner at Auntie Andrea's

Jess and Sav - cousins or sisters?

Anna and Jess play live dinner music for the crowds

The other monkey table

We had a lovely Christmas - thank you everyone for spoiling Team Roberts. And to uncles and aunts for taking Savage for sleepovers.  Next year we'll throw in Mac as a bonus too!

Christmas Morning at Uncle Rick's

Mega and Sav brave the weather for a Christmas ride to Rick's

Uncle Rick winds up Mac, batteries included

Couch time for Great Grandma, Auntie Andrea, Sav and Ash

Sav "helps" Mac

Cuddles for Auntie Andrea

Sav celebrates her loot

Then the famous pack up and hoard so no one can see, touch, or play with her stuff (sorry Santa, still working on sharing)

Savvy's Nursery Christmas Carol Concert

Savvy is in a black jumper and a red tartan skirt, about 6 from the left.  Great to see Malcolm in the pic on the far left.  He and Kirsty have been fantastic for Savvy since she started at her nursery on the hill almost two years ago.

Glen gets into the church spirit at the concert (caught mid clap).  This is pre hand foot and mouth disease for Mac...just catching up now that I'm off work for over a week:)

Wee Guy's Not Well

Still cute as a button in Nonno's peak cap, but not well with Hand Foot and Mouth disease.  Been rough for a few days but at last the spotty hideous rash on his face and bum is easing (yes, this is it looking better).  Lovely to skype Nana just now.  Merry Christmas to Team Canada and Team Japan from Team Scotland and Team Kendal. xx

Merry Christmas

Lovely to be in Kendal over Christmas.  Looking for the rain to turn to snow.  But, more importantly, looking for Santa.  Reindeer glitter dust to help with a safe landing to be sprinkled on Nonno's drive shortly.

Baby Claus

Before and After

Don't recommend redecorating the week before Christmas but water damage is water damage no matter the season.

Before: Blue

After: Peacock Green

The Christmas Build Up

Almost better than the day itself!

Kids Who Climb

We found out Savvy was allowed on the rock climbing wall at the local community centre. Glen took her on the weekend and she loved it. To the top, she went (11m).
Meanwhile, although Mac is still cruising from furniture item to item with his "walking" -not even freestanding yet- he too can climb to great heights. We discovered this by accident when he summited the 6 foot ladder in our living room unsupervised. Ooops.  Now we let him play about on this mini ladder, but keep the tall one hidden.

 There was also ice skating this weekend.  Sav's hooked.
