Christmas Day started very early for us. Jacob woke at 5.15am crying and that really set our morning. After trying to resettle him we gave up and opened our presents. Jacob was really lucky and got Thomas the Tank Engine related toys, a wooden train set/wooden town setting with its own table, clothes, a puzzle and a tent and of course some money to put in his savings account.
We had a walk in the morning and were very disappointed there was no where open for a coffee! After lunch and Jacob's sleep we headed down to the beach, as the sun was shining and it was lovely and warm. Jacob had a great time, kept wondering off down to the water's edge, splashing around, running into the waves and collecting shells, buckets of water and smiles from other people.
Dave kindly cooked our dinner early evening and we enjoyed a roast turkey dinner with pigs in blankets, sage and onion stuffing and English gravy - very yummy. Jacob learnt to say turkey very quickly, I think he might have had his body weight too!!!
We've caught up with some friends, I've met some of Dave's friends and we've been invited out too.
On Sunday 28th we went to Little Beach for Jacob to have a go at scuba diving. Steve is a qualified instructor and kindly offered to take Dave, Ant and Tracey. I didn't fancy it and was happy to look after Jacob. It was a beautiful day, the beach setting was perfect, I even managed a couple of swims. Jacob really enjoyed himself, Dave was a little unsure of the breathing bit but will try again another time and we had fish and chips from the local takeaway. A great day.
