Rainbow jazz hands with Santa 🌈🎅 #santainthesquare is completely free and such a lovely place to visit in #Leicester market square. They are autism-friendly, accessible, and suitable for those with sensory issues too. Lily loved the King Richard III colouring set gift from Santa... though I'm pretty sure he has never been so colourful before 😂🌈! It is such a festive little setup with snow-capped trees and a brass band... and did I mention it is free?! 🎄 Plus you can combine your visit with some ice skating or the Wheel of Light too! Leicester looking super festive today ❄🎅🌈🎁

Despite last night's crazy downpours and the resulting mud (with a walking boot😂), our annual visit to the @tropical_birdland Fairy Walk did not disappoint. Every ounce of magic was still there and we even met the Snow Queen for the first time who was really special. It was also lovely to catch up with the awesome @hawkwisefalconry who we met back in October. Entrance is from just £2 and it opens in the evenings so really is a whole bundle of festive magic for everyone 😍🍄🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🌠🎅🎁🎄

Little Elf Lily 🌈🎄 It took this crazy kid all of 0.02 seconds to demand the tree went up yesterday when we got home. The reality is she is standing in front of a giant basket of jumbled shoes in both photos... and I battled with her laying out that random array of festive items under the tree as she had spread baubles so far to "make the floor look pretty" that it reminded me of a Home Alone trap 😂 thankfully we compromised... and she actually demanded these 2 photos (only these 2, no more 😂🤦‍♀️) with the wreath and scaled-back random display of floor items (that quickly disappeared when she went to bed!) 😂 tonight though it was lovely to come home and see the tree all twinkling... makes it really feel festive :) Merry Christmas-month everyone 🙋‍♀️🎄🎅

It's beginning to look a lot like... 🎅❄🎄 A few more from yesterday at the lovely @westlodgefarmpark ❄☃️😍🐖 how many festive days out are too many?? Asking for a friend 😂🙋‍♀️🎅

Feeling Festive 🎄🎅 what a super fun festive way to kick off December with the crew down at the @westlodgefarmpark Elf School today 🎄🎅 Lily even managed to bag herself the role of the star in the nativity in the barn (thankfully, she would've probably kicked off if not 😂) and then wouldn't stop talking about it alllll the way home 😂🤦‍♀️🌠 they loved the barrel rides and play barn too... and the piglets were a massive highlight 🐖😂 Definitely got us all festive as she insisted our tree went up 0.02 seconds after getting home 🙋‍♀️ full review coming soon, hopefully once this ridiculous cold has stopped numbing my brain 🤦‍♀️🎄 (I also need a better phone camera as mine hates any kind of movement or festive lighting 😂🤦‍♀️)

This kid was testing my patience at times this week after school and I was in 2 minds about taking her out today.... the Santa threat was real 😂🤦‍♀️ It turned out to be what we both needed and we had such an epic time at the @national_forest_adventure_farm North Pole Adventure! She chose a clay snowglobe making craft kit from Santa so we spent hours this afternoon making snowglobes from clay that looked nothing like the box, but we made a rainbow so the world was OK 😂 I'm in surgery in January to get my foot fixed so will be in a cast for 6 weeks... so trying to squeeze in as much as possible over Christmas (in a massive boot!) before we both test our non-existent abilities to sit in one place for more than 2 minutes 😂🤦‍♀️🎅❄🌈🎄
