    we went to his carol concert yesterday, both his dad and I cried when he did his bit :) he was sooooo good. In fact all the kids at nursery were. there were a few tears at the beginning, think they were overwhelmed by the parents sitting in front of them, but after that, they were so good!

    not bad for 4, 3, 2 and under year olds! they have been practising so hard!

    I love little ones christmas carols or nativities, the children look so sweet, like little angels:A. Pity they don't stay like little angels when they get home.:rotfl:

    Fortunately DH trained as a chef so he cooks and I do the shopping!

    Actually everyone cooks something and as we all live within 2 miles of each other we ferry the food across town!!
    This is just DH's immediate family - mum, brothers, sister and their children!:eek: Good job I'm an only child!
