December 8th

Hello Everyone.

It nearly Christmas!!!

This place is Christmas Mad! There are lights and trees everywhere its so pretty.

We have the biggest tree in the lounge the whole house smells like pine, like Christmas. its great.

Last weekend (most of you know) I went to Disneyland Paris, my boss Sam and I took the kids on Friday morning. we were up before 6 and caught the Euro train. 3hrs later we were in France. We were there soon after lunch.

We decided to go and have a look around the park, It was freezing. the poor girls were in tears because there toes were numb. By the next day we got it right and were dressed in so many layers that i jumped 6 dress sizes. we went on dumbo, the merry-go-round, peter pan and the spinning tea cups.

I also got to go and do the roller coasters and scary rides which was good because i was really sick of standing in Que's for the kiddies rides.

Each night they lit up the Disney Castle, it was pretty neat, very magical. there was fake snow (even though it felt cold enough that it should be snowing) it did feel very much like another world.

On Saturday we had lunch with the princesses, it was really nice food and we had lots of princesses come around and say hello while we were eating.

that afternoon it got so busy the Que's were hrs long we went out and went ice skating for a few hrs. having never been before i thought i did well not to fall over once. It was really good fun and think I'm going to go again this coming weekend.

On Sunday night we went to Buffalo bill's wild west show. Lots of cowboys and Indians flying around on horses. I even got to go down into the ring and shoot a old Winchester. needless to say i missed the target because i was a little nervice. But it was fantastic, we even had a Texas BBQ dinner.

we came home Monday afternoon. we were so tired, we all slept in the same room and i shared a room with Evie. which was like sleeping with an octopus. so was nice to have my own bed again.

This last Saturday I slept in and didn't really do much. But on Sunday we had Special meetings which was great, it was in a university lecture theater so lovely soft chairs and the speakers were good too.

It was Evie's 5th birthday today, so Shes been very excited. We're going to have a party for her next week so that will be fun, or painful.

well hope everyone is well.

love Kate
