Santas Grotto!a beautiful elf and sweeties!

 A spur of the moment visit to town with sue the girls and Joan found us at Castle gates Santa's Grotto!!

What  a beautiful elf!!she was so kind to Holly and had her picture taken with her Holly loves elves......

 Santa talking to Sophie and Holly he was really good and spent ages telling Holly why Rudolph's nose was so red!

 I was impressed by the real beard and the fact he told Holly she had to be in bed early!!!no chance!

Choosing her sweeties!

Holly loved it....

Sophie   was a really good girl and the usual laid back baby!!!

 i was really surprised that we wernt charged anything! but there was a donation box  and our lovely Joan stuck a load of money in   ....

Holly was so excited!!!

and munched on her sweeties while insisting on a lift around the shops off her beloved granny Joan!!!
