Farmer Parrs

Farmer Parrs is a local farm, not a working farm really anymore, but a day out type place, with lots going on through out the year and Christmas is my favorite time to go as they decorate the main barn like a winter wonderland, i have been going for about 10 years now, maybe longer as we used to go when my nieces and nephews when they were young as well. Each year the add more and it just gets better and better and the Father Christmas is amazing and he sits in a log cabin with Reindeer poking there heads through the windows and whats really nice is that he takes his time talking to the kids, which is why we usually have to queue for 2 hours, but its worth it.

On Monday night Molly went with her Rainbow group and as it was only for an hour me, Alex and Ewan hung out and had a walk round. She saw Santa and got a pressie so was a very happy little girl!

This is Santas house

Today we went back again with Fred and Alex , my mum and Paul took a day off as it was the Childrens Centre Christmas Party at Farmer Parrs. Its was a great day, i went last year as well.

They have all the same things plus a disco and hot pot and they have various craft all around the farm and they only charge £1 per person!

The joy on Freds face for the whole day was un  describable, he really has the Christmas bug this year

Today they had a different Santa, slight shame as we had been talking about it being the real Santa with a real beard, but as the party was only for a couple of hours he had to be much quicker as they had 500 people to see.

Fred took a carrot with him that he had been clutching all day, and he gave it to Santa who fed it to the Reindeer, it was so special for Fred and made him really happy, i remember last year he was slightly scared of "red nose" and after we threw some carrots outside the front door he was constantly worried every time we went out he would be there!

 Ali, was dancing, well marching and swinging his head, but fell over and bashed his poor little head on the floor!

He loved the day though, and it was so nice for Paul and My mum as well

Fred loved seeing the animals

All in all it was a great day and such a wonderful event that the children's center had organized.

That morning i had asked the kids what they would like for tea as we were doing the food shopping after the farm and very randomly Ewan and Molly asked for an all you can eat buffet!

So i thought i would give them what they wanted and popped into Iceland for some Party food, usually i make everything myself, but this was a much easier option for just us.

They also asked for Party games so, i fond a few bits in my Prize bag, where i keep bits i have picked up during the year for party bags and things like that and wrapped them up and we had a few games of pass the parcel, that Fred has been getting into after going the the Playgroup Christmas party on Wednesday!

A great end to a great week!
