Ocean Ward Christmas party

Our third Christmas party of the year was the Families of Ocean Ward Christmas party – organised by other heart parents who have had their children treated at the same hospital as Jessica was treated at. Jessica thoroughly enjoyed herself in the soft play area and on the bouncy castle although wasn’t quite so sure this year about meeting Father Christmas although she did like the present! Sophie wasn’t impressed at all at seeing Father Christmas and voiced her objection to it all in no uncertain terms (although being hungry may have also had something to do with it as well!)

Christmas party chez Cameron

We have had such an amazing day attending a children’s Christmas party at no. 10 Downing Street which we were invited to through the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice charity (Jessica’s community nurse is an Alexander nurse). Jessica and Sophie seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day and we got to meet the Prime Minister, children’s TV presenters Dick and Dom and some of the remaining celebrities on Strictly Come Dancing and their professional partners (which we were very excited about, being huge Strictly fans). Jessica and Sophie also got to see Father Christmas – all in all it was a wonderful day.

Sophie's first party

Sophie went to her first ever Christmas party today with her big sister. Jessica had a lovely time at the party – it was so lovely to see how much more she enjoyed it this year compared to last year, how she really was interested in the children’s entertainer and seeing Father Christmas and watching her dancing was delightful. Sophie was completely underwhelmed by her first ever party and slept through most of it. But still, it was lovely to have a day out as a family and to take our two girls to a party in their matching party dresses.
