the nativity play went well, even though we slept in and were 10 minutes late for final run through and J1 forgot his violin and had to text me to bring it down (doh!).
All the kids were fab and there were a lot of good young musicians. D and I were very proud of our two and impressed with all the kids, especially baby William who had a starring role as the Holy Child, and slept in his brother's arms (who played Joseph) throughout!
We decorated the house yesterday, J2 set to with the dyson before we started, so she was given the honour of trimming the tree herself ( she was thrilled!).
Of course I'm still in the process of knitting the advent deccies, this is the last batch: a Swedish straw goat, a
sugar plum, a polar bear (which I think looks like a guinea pig but the others don't agree with me , phew), a marzipan pig, and a pair of mittens. I've got a drum on the needles at the moment and have to make a broom for the snowman. There's a lot of detail in Alan Dart's designs which makes them special, but time consuming.
Football update: Newcastle managed to get a decent away win yesterday beating Portsmouth 3-0, and Chelsea joined the rest of the big four in only getting a draw, which means that Liverpool is top. It's very exciting this season, there is no clear leader, and the bottom half of the table is pretty close too, only 2 points separates Bolton at 11th with 20 points and Sunderland at 18th with 18 points. The richest club on the world (TM) , Man city is only above Sunderland on goal difference. Exciting stuff as we approach mid-season!
