Dear Daddy,

Yesterday we spent the day at Nana's house. I played with Tegan and we ate a big dinner. It was fun. Harriet came back with us to stay at our house.

Today we went into Bury St Edmunds - we ate lunch at Pizza Hut. I didn't even eat any pizza, but I did eat LOADS of pasta. I really loved it. Molly did too. She ate lots of pasta too (see below)



Mummy got to spend the vouchers she got for Christmas and we walked around lots of shops. Next time you can come with us!

Dear Daddy,

Not long until we see you Daddy!!

We miss you so much Daddy.

Dear Daddy,

We really missed you today! We had a lovely Christmas day! Santa came, he even left snowy footprints across the living room floor at Grandad's. I got so many nice things - lots of books, a bike, a helmet and bell for my bike, chocolate, Octonaut figures (I'll let you watch that show when you're home!!) a remote control lizard, pyjamas, a Leap Pad Explorer with a camera attached, 2 colouring books, pencils and lots more!

Molly got a doll and a matching cot, chocolate, pyjamas, clothes, books, a mini kitchen, a new plate for her dinner, a slinky, a bike, a magic light up jar, hair clips! 

We're SO lucky!

We had a nice lunch with a ham and lots of vegetables, afterwards we ate Ben and Jerry's ice cream!

This afternoon we went up to see Great Granny and had tea there with Nana, David, Harriet, Sarah, Rebecca and everyone!

Dear Daddy,

It's Christmas Eve and im SO excited! We're staying at Grandad's as he and Nana Jo have a chimney that Santa can come down. Today I have helped Nana Jo put up the decorations and after dinner I laid out some carrots for the reindeer and some ginger beer and chocolate for Santa! I hope he brings me what Ive asked for!

We wish you were here Daddy! I miss you so much!

Dear Daddy,

Thankfully I am better today. I last puked at 3am. Mummy is very happy not to be cleaning up sick anymore. Hopefully Molly doesnt get it.

We spent today at home recovering. I did lots of crafts and Mummy took me to the craft store on base and got me some special scissors that cut in wiggly lines.

Here are Molly and I in the bath - with our bath crayons. Im getting much better at drawing and I can now draw a person!

Dear Daddy,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We have talked about you a LOT today as it's your birthday and Nana's birthday too! I hope you had a good day.

I haven't had a good day, I have been sick. Mummy says I have vomited about once an hour all day. I feel terrible. We took Harriet home too as she is sick as well. As Mummy drove us to Nana's house I was sick all down myself and Harriet puked into a Tupperware while Molly screamed. Mummy said it was a stressful journey!

Here we are this evening!

Molly loves the camera!

Dear Daddy,

Today we're going to see Great Grandma Jenny. Harriet is with us as there is no school for her or me.

Here is Molly this morning, she gets BAD 'bed-head'. She is such a big girl now Daddy. When you come back you will really notice how big and grown up she is now. She eats cereal with me in the morning all by herself!

Dear Daddy,

Yesterday we went to the Christmas market on the embankments (river Thames - London, near Big Ben) it was REALLY fun! you will have to come with us next year. There were lots of fun things to see. Even a man dressed up as a creature in a box. He said 'Hello Mr. Baby' to me, it was funny!

I got to eat cake and watch the London Eye go around!

We stayed at Grandad's last night. Tonight we go home and Harriet comes with us as there is no school until January now!

here is Molly and George this morning! ♥

Dear Daddy,

Yesterday we my last day at pre-school, we had a Christmas party, it was really fun. Mummy stayed to help (Nana had Molly). She danced with me and my friends and helped serve everyone food. I ate loads of sausages and ham sandwiches. I know you saw my special Christmas hat - it was the only one that had a snowman with a huge frown and my snowman was even wearing 7 hats (just the way I like them to look). This weekend Harriet is staying with us. Today it was SO cold (yesterday it even snowed a little). We went shopping and then played at home. Mummy found even more of our bath toys in a box in the garage, so Molly and I were able to use our bath crayons to graffiti the bath tub.

Dear Daddy,

Yesterday I had my Nativity play. I was a shepherd. I wasnt very excited about the whole thing. I refused to give my 'lamb' to Mary and I also tried a few times to get Jesus out of the crib!

I didnt sing much, a few lines VERY loudly, and that was it. I really just wanted to go home. Mummy loved watching me though, and said I looked very sweet.

I really wish you could have been there to see me!

Dear Daddy,

Today Nana and David came to our house and we went onto the base to do some Christmas shopping. We also had lunch there and I even got ice cream from Baskin Robbins!

Mummy thought you might like a photo of all of us, so here we are!



 Harriet and I have been playing with you lego men a lot. I hope that's OK. Mummy said you have 'issues' about me touching them, but I thought you wouldnt mind really. I even made a big tower out of their heads!

Dear Daddy,

Today Harriet, Mummy, Molly and I went to the base to do some shopping. Mummy decided that it was time I got a new pair of shoes. These ones flash - just like my old ones (that you never got to see in person :( ....) but they 'died' and stopped flashing a while ago. We also went into Mildenhall, we found some good stuff for my 'art box' and also a cool kit of play dough tools.

Oh Daddy, I miss you so much. I keep saying to Mummy 'so, Daddy will be back for my birthday? or no?'

Here are my new shoes, hope you like them

Dear Daddy,

Today at school I made lots of Christmas things. I made my Christmas cake AND a Christmas slug. Mummy thinks my slug is THE best thing ever. Unfortunately it met an untimely death when we got home when I ripped all it's eyes off and smashed it's body. So Mummy said it was very good that she took a photo of it. We also had a Christmas party at school, Mummy was supposed to bring ham sandwiches, but in true scatter-brained Mummy style, she forgot them, so Nana had to make them and they brought them over to my school. Poor Mummy needs you home as she is losing her mind. 

Do you like my slug Daddy?

Dear Daddy,

After school today Mummy took me and Molly to the base and we met up with Mummy's friend - Vicky. She has a little boy my age and I really liked playing with him. Hopefully I will get to play with him lots more.

Here I am this evening at bedtime. Mummy has put my circus tent into my built-in wardrobe, so it's like a playhouse. Molly and I love it!

Dear Daddy,

Today I went to school. After school I went to Grandads to have lunch and then Mummy, Nana Jo, Molly George and I went to the BIG Tesco in Bar Hill. Mummy got a TV. Mummy wanted us to be a 'tv free' household but our internet is SO slow that Mummy cannot watch TV on demand so, she has helped us become a TV family instead! Nana Jo and Grandad came to our house to make dinner. It was fun. They looked after me and Molly while Mummy went to see my new pre-school. Mummy said it was wonderful and she thinks I will really love it.

Dear Daddy,

It's getting really cold here! Today we went into Mildenhall town to see what was there. It was a bit disappointing. Mummy said it was rubbish and that you wouldn't be impressed. We walked around some shops and Mummy got me my own pair of scissors as at the moment Im really into chopping up paper into tiny pieces and scattering them all over the carpet.

As a treat Mummy and Harriet took Molly and I to the park. It IS a rubbish town, but it does have a really good park to play in. It's really big and has lots of cool things to play on. The photo shows Molly and I on the huge round swing! Molly LOVED it!

Molly also went down a big slide that had humps in it. She thought it was really funny!

Dear Daddy,

Yesterday I went to school and we sang lots of Christmas songs. After school we went to Nana's house and I was very busy with my magazine (see photo) When Harriet got home from school we drove to Lakenheath base to watch the Christmas lights be turned on. We missed it by 1 minute! We did see Santa though - he was on a fire truck! I also got a cookie! We ate dinner at the BX and then went home to bed. I was very whiny as I usually am in the evenings but Molly was a very good girl. She loved all the pretty lights.
