Christmas Eve
 |
| On Christmas Eve we went out before bedtime to see if we could see Santa in the sky. Unfortunately it was rather cloudy so we did not get a great view. Nevertheless, a gap emerged and we finally saw him moving across the night sky. Now Sophie has proof of his existence which she can relay to her sceptical friends. Apparently the International Space Station was also due to pass over at about the same time! |

Santa II
When Sophie told Santa that she wanted an X-Box I told him that he needs to discuss it with me before making any final decisions.
Matthew is a bit more confident with Santa than he was two years ago http://joblair.blogspot.nl/2012/12/getting-used-to-santa.html. Maybe because he managed to co-ordinate his trousers with Santa's couch blanket.

Linnaeushof
3 weeks ago we went to Linnaeushof, a large outdoor play park. I reckon Sophie and Matthew were the last two kids of 2014 to enjoy the splash park.

The School Run - Dutch Style II
We are very fortunate to have one of the loveliest routes to cycle to school. Sophie is now on her own bike, which makes it a whole lot easier.

Camping
After promising to take the kids camping since early Summer last night the opportunity finally arose so off we went. It was Matthew's first taste of a night under canvas and he wasn't disappointed. He did all the usual camping things like blowing up the mattress, messing around in the tent, eating burnt hot-dogs with to much ketchup and listening to his dad tell ghost stories inside the tent by torchlight. Jo, sensibly, stayed at home.
