Christmas :)

My beautiful Panda Girl celebrated another Panda-ry birthday. She's super and kind and always smiling. I'm so blessed.

A delicious cake made by big sister, Monkey Girl.

And a tea party and birthday sleepover with friends. Happy Birthday, Darling!

End of Term

Our term ended with a nasty virus, seeing The Boy in hospital and the rest of us wiped out for over a fortnight. We squeezed in two more Christmas Around the World days and then we broke up for Christmas.

The children made some lovely cards using art, poetry, stories and quotes about Christmas traditions in the UK and some from abroad

Swedish Christmas traditions

Santa Lucia's crown. Her Feast Day is celebrated on 13th December.

Following Swedish tradition...

...we took (ssshhh Italian panettone!) ahem - Swedish bread to Aunty G's house.
