334. Golden Child (Another day spent racing around to parties and shopping etc. before heading down to see my sister. We ended up nipping to the beach first before calling into her, as I needed to blow the cobwebs away and calm down.)
335. Return of the Elf (Edward's back, and The Boy couldn't be happier!)
336. Funny Tummy (Oh how right he was. Monday's sickness settled but he continued to have stomach cramps all day which meant he wasn't able to help decorate the tree; the most he could manage was lie on the floor and be a bit weak and wobbly. I assembled the tree and put the lights on and stopped there until he had a bit more strength about him.)
337. New (Every year we buy The Boy a new decoration, building up a collection for the future. We gave him this little Welsh dragon bell which had 'Nadolig Llawen' on it. It was the first decoration to go on, and the only one that day as he still felt incredibly rotten.)
338. A Wayne (The Boy was home again today as he decided to be sick last night and I didn't want to rush him. He spent most of the day reading books, and here he is looking at the lyrics for Away in a Manger, which he then promptly sang to me beautifully.)
339. Zonked (A 3.5 hour drive to London after school/work meant that by the time we checked into the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, The Boy was exhausted. He soon crashed out in his double (sofa) bed with Oliver Monkey, Paddington and Edward the Elf.)
340. Mr. Claus (It's really hard to choose just one for today as we've done so much! However, I've decided to go for a photo of one of the windows of Selfridges because the theme of modern day fairytales was so magical and The Boy was captivated by every one. This photo had a waxwork of Father Christmas in it, and The Boy couldn't take his eyes away from it, waiting for him to move!)

I remember being captivated by the window of Selfridges just the same way.

Glad he's a lot better now, bugs are horrid. The tree is looking lovely! Hope you're having a brilliant time in London!
Steph @MisplacedBrit says
Love your golden pic! What a great idea to swing by the beach… Calming down is nearly always needed & rarely prioritised!
jenny paulin says

The Boy is clearly very fond of the elf – such a cute pic of him in bed with it! Loving the sunshine on his face in the first pic too – one very excited boy 🙂
Elaine Livingstone says
Oh dear poor boy, seems to be a huge amount of bugs going round. Love the pic of him with the lights on his tummy.
3.5 hrs is a looonnngggg drive, rather you than me, my limit is 2 hrs of home, I refuse to go further.
I admire how his room is always need and tidy in the pictures, my grandkids live in messy untidy pigstys ( and thats being polite!!) drives me demented
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
Hope the boy is feeling better now. Looks like you had a lovely week all the same. Love the first and last photos, and the one with the lights up the jumper 🙂
