Inka reading

Inka looking at her bible stories.

Pretty lights

Inka loved having all the family round for Christmas day. She handed all the presents out and carefully tore her own open. She likes to make sure the wrapping paper doesn't go on the floor and puts it in the bin even before she`s looked at the present. Her most exciting Christmas activity was spotting the Christmas lights on houses, she calls them "pretty lights".
We have a teenager with us, from Afghanistan, placed at the start of December. Life has been busy sorting things out for him. He speaks little English so using lots of hand gestures and pointing. Having Andy at home over the last few weeks has been great. Ive got a few lie ins...bonus! Inka has also enjoyed having both of us around to read to her and pay her loads of attention. I had the best Christmas present from Andy, a facial which my friend Hayley (who also got one for Christmas) and I had together and extended into a shopping day.
