Christmas parades and Rock parties

Enjoying her pool in the hot sun

Sophie has has a busy past couple of weeks - We took her to the local Birkenhead Christmas parade last weekend (which she hated...) - the fire engines and trucks all decided to crank their sirens and horns all at the same time and frightened the be-jeezers out of her!...and the weekend gone we all headed over to Devonport for the annual Rock Christmas party, which Sophie LOVED! (I guess anywhere with food all laid out on a table is exciting for kids!) She did make lots of new friends and even befriended one of the caterers - Sophie latched on to her and talked her ear off all afternoon. We were all laughing at how much the Rock Xmas parties have changed over the past few years...I can remember a time there was nothing but drunken debauchery and carnage - but these days there are lollie scrambles for the kids, a civilised barbecue with caterers and the whole things over by 6pm!

Ingrid has been home with Soph the last couple of days because Kids Klub wrapped up last week - the both of them have been having a ball together and Sophie is really looking forward to seeing her relies in a couple of days...I've got a sneaky feeling she knows she's gonna get spoilt rotten by everyone too!
