It is Monday but no school for the boys since they are now on their Winter break. Ryan had work early this morning and I really wanted to do something special with Ronan and Maddox. Instead of having porridge at home, I took the boys into town for some special time together. We started off with breakfast at one of the bakeries where the boys got to choose what they wanted to eat. They enjoyed a delicisous banana milk to drink. I had a jacket potato with beans and it really hit the spot with the cold weather outside. Afterwards we went into several of the shops, trying to find the right Christmas presents for their dad. Not to spoil the surprise, I will not post what we ended up buying online. But the boys did have a lot of fun picking out something specifically from them. At the end of our morning out, we found some cute santa hats at Claire’s for the boys to wear. Getting into the holiday spirit we took some fun photographs around all the Christmas decorations at the shopping centre.

Today was the much awaited birthday party for my newly seven year old, Ronan. He loves Indiana Jones. We went to a leisure centre for his birthday party and all the kids got to play in the soft play area which had two stories. Afterwards we had an english tea with a lot of canapes and treats. At the parties in England you light the cake, but send pieces home instead with the guests. You also do not open presents until you get home. The boys had a great time!
