We had a text today so say that Roman's club had been cancelled as the heating had broken in the building it was held in and hadn't been fixed in time. Roman was teary and disappointed as he enjoys going to club and playing with other children and making things.
I said that when we dropped Anais off at orchestra we could make something to cheer him up, what did he want to do?
He said he wanted to make something CHRISTMASSY which got me thinking to other things we have made over the the past couple of years in the run up to Christmas.........

.....they made masks.....
........snow globes with old jam jars and Lego figure's.......
.........mince pies and bread..........
.............fudge........
............made and decorated Christmas cakes..........
.............decorated jam jars for when we went Carol singing..........
.........made snowball sweets with marzipan and white chcoclate.....
.......painted candles with special candle paint......
..........and made a gingerbread house!
It would have been nice to do all above of the above things with Anais too so I said what about making mince pies instead as Anais doesn't like mince pies so they would be just for him, he said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we dropped Anais off at orchestra we went to Sainsbury's for mincemeat and pastry. While I sorted tea out Roman was in charge of the rolling pin and chose some cookie cutter shapes he wanted to use as the lids, he did everything apart from fill them up with the mincemeat....

They were DELICIOUS and I have been told by Roman I need to buy more ingredients when I go shopping on Friday so he can make more!
Anais came home very tired and disheartened to go to orchestra practise too. She didn't have any normal lessons today, she spent the entire school day practising the violin with the CBSO (City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra) ready for their show next week.
I would have given her the "day off" from orchestra as she was so tired, but it is also the Orchestra Carol Concert next week too and today was their last day of practise.
She came home from orchestra barely able to lift her arms!

Mark has been in a meeting at head office for most of the day so he came home very tired too as it was an early start for him.
I want to push myself so today I started this cross stitch and HOPE to get it finished before Christmas.
This was a Christmas present from Jenny and Steve years ago. I always find cross stitch intimidating but I am going to give it my best, with doing other things too, to get it finished before Christmas!
This is what I have done today.................
