Center Parcs Part 2 Visiting Santa

Ruby went to visit Santa Claus whilst we were at center parcs this week. I think bewilderment best describes Ruby's first visit to Santa!

Our trip to Center Parcs Part 1

We've just had a little break at Center Parcs with the Ellis clan, as you can see Max and Ruby get along famously and we packed a lot in to our five days away, including bowling, bathing and a new swimsuit for Ruby!

Let's file this one under 'R'

Who says tank tops aren't cool?

Going, going............

Ruby's First Wedding!

The excitement builds with a quick dance at home!

Looking forward to dinner at the table!

Tash and Sam!

Ruby and I cut a rug on the dancefloor where all parents with hyperactive children were banished to during dinner!


Ruby gets in the party mood!

Storm Surge 2

This is the shingle bank at Salthouse or what is left of it, you may remember the previous photos on this blog of David and Ruby standing on it in the Summer.

Storm Surge!

This was the scene in Blakeney this morning as we surveyed the damage from the hide tide and storm surge. The boat you can see in the last picture was washed up against these white railings!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

It was Grandma Marys birthday on Friday so we all had a meal at Chez Hobart and slice of birthday cake made by Grandma Joyce!

Chim Chimenee Chim Chimenee Chim Chim Cheroo

Sometimes Mummy lets Ruby find her own supper.

Bonfire Night

It was pass the baby on bonfire night as we all enjoyed a good firework display and several jacket potatoes!

Sunday lunch but not as we know it.

As you can see, Sunday lunch in the Hobart house is a very civilized affair and mealtime etiquette is taken very seriously.

Prisoner Cell Block H(obart)

Although this may look a bit cruel to some people, I can highly recommend caging your little tearaway! This device is especially useful in avoiding the risky, unsupervised mountaineering challenges which Ruby has recently been undertaking.

This tv is too small!

Ruby can't get enough of Boogie Pete (don't ask) and as far as she is concerned this table provides a useful leaning/chewing place.

Christmas comes early!

Those of you who know David well will not be surprised to learn that one of Rubys Christmas presents found its way into the house two months too early!

Playing at Grandma's in New Shoes!

Today we went to Grandma Hobarts and decided to go into the shoe shop for a proper fitting and a pair of shoes for Ruby! She behaved very well in the shoe shop and we're all looking forward to the next pair!
