Earlier in the year I had agreed with the kids mum that they could come to mine for Christmas this year. I picked them up on the 18th of December. They were due to go back home on the 30th.
Everyone wanted to go out for dinner on Christmas day, and I was going to stay at home with the kids as it would have been just me and them, and cook for us. I was really looking forward to this. Unsurprisingly they all changed their mind. I ended up cooking for 10 people, which wasn’t the greatest decision I had ever made.
I don’t know the exact amount of money I spent on the kids this year, but I am definitely sure they had more than enough. Having only spoke to them the other day, they still haven’t had been able to play with all of their toys properly yet!

I didn’t have any Christmas stockings for them, so had to go and buy some. I checked several shops and only Morrisons had them! They feel well put together, and only cost me £3 each. That’s what I call a bargain!

Oi! Put that down – He grabbed my drink which had vodka in it and tried to drink some. I don’t think so Mr!

Chloé and my niece Leah were sat at the table drawing. Leach stepped away for a couple of minutes which allowed me to sit down with Chloé. We drew Greg from “The diary of a wimpy kid”. My niece was not impressed. I had defiled her drawing!

I bought 4 pre-cooked chickens from Sainsbury’s earlier. It turns out that 4 chickens were way too much. It lasted 3 days!

I bought some Rice Krispies and a couple bars of Galaxy Chocolate and made some chocolate crispy cakes. The kids just had to finish off the warm chocolate that was left over in the saucepan.

So many potatoes. I think it took me around 40 minutes of peeling for this many potatoes, however once cooked they were bloody nice.
This is clearly where I switched over to using my phone for the photos instead of my camera! Why did I do this again?

This thing was cool. Its basically Duplo that have little LEDs in it. There is a base which they must connect to that provides the power and they light up.

The kids and myself always enjoy a game of Naughts and Crosses, so why not buy the actual thing? Its not that big, but its perfect.

My daughter wanted me to do some drawings with her. These are the results. She’s a pretty good drawer. She follows a Youtube Channel called Art for Kids Hub, which shows a step by step guide on how to draw such things as Minion characters for kids.

Ryan has been fascinated for quite some time about a game called Prop Hunt. I played it when it first came out on Garry’s Mod so I knew what it was all about, so when he came down I downloaded the latest version for him and let him play. He loved it.
