last music lesson for 2012

Mummy doesn't usually get to sit in for his lessons.

However today Ms Melissa invited all parents to as it is the last session.

Here you can see he's gonna be the class clown in future!

Here you can catch a glimpse of his solo voice :)

They all a little playtime during the break.

At the end of the day he received a certificate of attendance.

He enjoys his bedtime stories 

and has yet to fall asleep while being read to!

It gives out a warm glow of orange or pink...

key for santa

Nana says since we don't have a chimney for Santa to climb down,

we need to leave him a key to come in 

and leave the presents under our tree!

picture with santa

Managed to get a photo taken with Santa 

at the Trainworks

without having to queue up.

trip on heritage rail

We boarded this train at Central Station.

Hugh got to sit at the driver's seat.

We were in Car B.

The seat is quite comfy.

Midway through, Santa came around...

... and gave him a candy cane.

At the Thirlmere Trainworks he got to climb onto train exhibits,

experience standing on a train track,

discover a hidden Thomas ...

....and do some colouring.

And on the way back to Central Station...
