In da bungaloooooooowwwww!!!
Had a nice day today so I’ll blog it. We headed off just after lunch time into Sheffield where there was all sorts of stuff going on for the Christmas Lights switch on. Managed to get parked easy enough, and somewhere that was free so extra points for that!! There was loads going on with reindeer and Father Christmas about, carol singers, a “real life” nativity with camels and other animals and of course the celebrities 
We went up to the town hall and managed to get the tail end of the “meet Postman Pat” that was going on so James took them while I stood by with the camera. Unfortunately Marcus threw a wibbly and so Alex was the only one to get to see him. And I wasn’t quick enough with the camera so she was walking off as it took the pic! *rolls eyes*
Wandered round some more, watched Postman Pat switch some lights on at 3pm (when it was light - duh!!!)
and then we hot footed it back to the town hall as there was supposed to be a meet Dick and Dom happening later. So we got ourselves in the queue and waited there for a bit. Marcus made a friend straight away with another little boy and so he was sat for ages shouting “Bogeys” and other strange stuff! Alex was a little more work as she insists on being carried all the time still. *rolls eyes again*
Was starting to get really cold though but eventually Dick and Dom came out, and as we were about 4th in the queue we were some of the first to meet them. Kids got their autograph (On the back of James’s dentist appointment card!! Rofl!!)
and we got our pic taken with them. James’s phone went a bit funny and blurry though 
He must’ve been overwhelmed by their celebrity status and his hands must’ve staretd shaking
After that we decided to give the rest of the event a miss, since we’d done more than we thought would happen. It was so busy and we knew we’d be hard pressed to get decent standing area where we’d see them actually switch the lights on so we made a quick exit.
Went off to visit some friends and relatives while we were in Sheffield and then off home.
HOW cool is that bottom picture!!!! Your smiles are so big! rofl, that’s made my evening!

Good to hear you had a good time!
I didn’t get your mail - so it must have disappeared off into the ether somewhere.
