Had a lovely time with mum on her birthday. I gave her a nice dark green leather handbag and the boys gave her a green and brown striped top.
At night we went out for a lovely meal at a new restaurant. H Lights. Dad and i had smoked salmon with beetroot and cucumber salad, mum had C S soup, Jo and Chris had mushroom risotto.
Everyone had roast turkey with all the trimming except Chris who had pasta.
When we went in we got a nice glass of mulled wine.
John was looking after Ross and Owen so couldn't come.

Wednesday 17th December
Went shopping with Jo, she is 33 weeks pregnant and looking great, her bump is lovely! Can't wait to meet my new neice or nephew!
I bought some of her baby present today which was an Advent steriliser, bottles and teats. She is hoping to breastfeed but will still need a steriliser for expressing milk and sterilising feeding bowls, spoons etc.
I will buy her a swing seat/bouncer also.
Went to starbucks and i had a latte and Jo had a caramel hot chocolate. She had a double choc chop muffin and i had a orange, cranberry muffin. They were very nice. Went to Mums for lunch with boys and John also.
Owen got his 2nd tooth when he was 6 1/2 months old and got his 3rd tooth just before he was 7 months.
Ross has been great fun and chatting alot now, he is such good company. My dad was driving the car at the weekend and Ross said Dada drive the car!
We put on the christmas tree and decorations last night and Ross was so good, he helped me put on the decorations and hasn't tried to pull it down yet!
John is on a day off today and i'm on the laptop whilst he is out shopping for presents for his dad and brother. I'll be writing my christmas cards later and must start wrapping up all the presents.
Went to B Fayre on Saturday and Ross ate well, he had sausages, mashed potatoes etc. I had fish and chips, mum had chicken caeser salad and dad had chili con carne.
It was very nice.

Had a lovely day shopping with Joanne in i/n. I got the rest of my christmas shopping and she got alot of her's also. Mum looked after boys.
We had a good time together. I drove as she is 30 weeks pregnant now, bump had dropped a bit. She is doing really well, getting quite alot of braxton hicks contractions. I was the same when pregnant, they were sore too, the books don't tell you that! lol!
Mum and Dad came round this morning to look after boys and cats while John and I went away for the weekend. Since becoming pregnant with our first baby, Ross we haven't had our holidays abroad which we did once to twice a year before babies!
Having children is much nicer than holidays but until the children are older, John and I like to go away to a 4 or 5 star hotel for a couple of nights as a treat. Last year we went to the Mar. Dal. Edib, but this year we decided to do our Christmas shopping in i/n.
We went to Girvans for lunch and i had Fettucini with corgettes, peppers, red onions and rocket pesto. I also had some chips. It was lovely.
John had thai chicken stirfry and chips which he also enjoyed.
I managed to do some christmas shopping, i got some total energy shower gel from the body shop for myself, a dark green handbag and cord coat for mum and a nice cardi for Joanne.
We had a nice time shopping and then drove to A/M for our weekend away.
We stayed at the MHResort, H Hotel. It was lovely.
