This weekend we've been having a really gorgeous time. The Saturday was St. Andrew's Day, so we went into town to take a look at the festivities. I really enjoy filling our days up with fun activities and things to do and experience, so visiting the storytelling and the ceilidh and the market was all wonderful. I'm loving how much is going on in Edinburgh this year.
Audrey loved the live music and danced and danced. She even carried on dancing while I was carrying her on my shoulders. Later, as the sun set, she got sleepy and cuddly, and the three of us huddled on a bench and ate crepes with chocolate and banana. Then we came home and watched the Snowman.
Parenting a toddler is amazing. I feel very privileged.
On Sunday we met up with Audrey's wee friend Rafael and played in the Hermitage together.
Then we came home and decorated the Christmas tree. Mole and Nounours, two of Audrey's cuddly toys, helped. Audrey fell asleep early while sat on the sofa wrapped in blankets watching the Aristocats.
Advent is such an exciting time, planning for Christmas and getting ready for all the wonderfulness to come. My dad makes Audrey a special advent calendar each year with little presents for each day that are numbered and hung from a string that winds it's way up the banister of our stairs. She opened the first one today and spent the rest of the day asking if it was time yet to open another.
Adorable stuff.
We're settling in to the Winter season, getting cosy. Completing projects, putting things in order, getting organised. Getting ready.
