No touching….

… please. Esmée’s polite request. Today Daddy was going to make Joseph from wood and she was going to paint him.

Saturday breakfast time is usually good for catching the family and we caught the girls in high spirits and in good chatting form. Then we got the guided tour of the tree and Esmée’s delightful nativity scene. She is of course nearly five and so Nactivity is replaced by Nativity. Only by her though. We’ve stuck with her original.

Our second choir concert tonight and it went well again. A happy mix of carols and Christmas songs. And maybe the mulled wine during the interval made for a great rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas…. Everyone sang with happy gusto.
