Aunty Christine

Ive done an early Xmas shopping trip with my sister for almost as long as I can remember. It predates having the girls is all I know, but since becoming a mum one of my girls has always accompanied us - the youngest. So Grace came for two years until Ophelia was born and then Ophelia did two trips before Arwen arrived. This was Arwen's third Xmas shopping day. I hope she will come for two more years though it may be too hard in future for one of the main purposes of the trip to be accomplished - my sister getting the girls' Xmas presents! Arwen was still oblivious to what was being bought this year. We had a very lovely time together and much of Xmas is now sorted thankfully!
