I've had my first real injury ...

I was on a bike ride on the Tarka Trail near home yesterday when I fell off my bike onto my shoulder and broke my arm.
I was wearing my helmet and knee and elbow pads AND the bike wasn't moving at the time. It was just a freak fall I guess.
I wasn't in an awful lot of pain and managed to walk the half hour back to the car but when Mummy and Daddy got me home and took my hoodie off my arm was all swollen and bending the wrong way.
So, it was off to hospital for an x-ray and some plaster. I was really good and didn't cry at all - I found it fascinating and am going back next week for a new plaster - I hope they have a pink one for me.
I'm OK so please don't worry - I don't think my career as a professional sportswoman has been compromised just yet xxx

I heart Flapper ...

Uncle Dom and Aunty M have a bird in their apartment that flies around all day.
I lovd it - it was so friendly and liked to sit on my shoulder.
I wish Flapper could come to stay.

I went to see the Queen ...

Mummy had to go to the American Embassy a couple of weeks back to see about a visa as we want to go and see my Aunties and Uncles over there later this year.
The emabassy is London so Mummy, Daddy and I got on a train from Devon to London and stayed with Aunty M for a few days.
I went on the London Underground for the first time and had lots of fun looking around the place that is apparently the capital of the country I was born in and is a city.
I liked it very much - and its always lovely to spend time with Aunty M and Uncle Dom.

To infinity and beyond ...

Like most of the kids on the planet under eight years old, I am bonkers about Toy Story. Santa brought me the first movie on dvd and Aunty Claire sent me the second one and the third one comes out the day before my fourth birtday.
No prizes for guessing what I'll be doing for my birthday party this year.
I love the cowgirl the best (because she's a girl of course) but when we watch it at home I make Mummy and Daddy take parts so we can act it out.
I am that obsessed.
Here's the trailer for the third installment - I can't wait!

Such a pretty girl ...

Mr and Mrs Mummy and Daddy ...

Just two days after Christmas, the celebrations continued as my Mummy and Daddy got married to eachother.
It was lots of fun - I got to walk in front of the bride (mummy) and Paps with Aunty M and Aunty Claire. And I looked beautiful.
It was a really lovely day and I was very happy I got to be there - and was old enough to be able to remember it.
Here's me before the ceremony:


And here we all are after they said 'I do':

It was a fantastic day and I think my Mummy looked so pretty. Daddy looked handsome too xxx

My first ever ice-skating experience ...

What better time to try ice skating than at Christmas? We went for a family day out to Lincoln on Christmas Eve and Mummy and Daddy took me on the ice.
I absolutely loved it and was completely fearless.
It was such a fun thing to do and so Christmassy!

Christmas happy snaps ...

The best Christmas present ever ... from my Paps

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly get any more presents, look what my Paps gave me. I was so excited I gave a big gasp!

Getting ready for Santa .. and wow, he came!

Here's how my stocking looked when I woke up on Christmas morning.
I left Santa a mince pie and some brandy and a carrot for Rudolph. The pie and brandy went but Rudolph only ate half of his carrot. I guess he was too busy!
Anyway, here's how it looked when I got up...


... and here's what happened when I saw all my pressies ...

First big girl's Christmas

Hi all,
I know its a little while ago but I wanted to tell you all about my fabulous Christmas.
It was at Uncle Lenny's house and he'd been planning it for a year. He and Aunty Michelle had invited Paps and Maria and Aunty Claire and Aunty Bo to come too, and he had lots of things planned for us.
We all stayed at Uncle Lenny's house and then my cousins Kristopher, James and Ben came for a bit too. Even Uncle Andre and Aunty Vicky from Hong Kong made an appearance for a couple of days between Christmas and New Year.
It was busy! But it was soooooooooo fun.

Uncle Lenny took us all to a special grotto to see Santa. I got to chat to him about my Christmas list, he gave me a Dora doll and let me feed his reindeer.
