Guess What We Got for Christmas?

Mary got lots of this for christmas ...



and some new play-doh tools that everyone wanted to try!



wearing some of their sparkly tattoos of course!



Mary isn't sure about some of the creations ...



and daddy isn't doing play-doh, he is playing with his - what is that exactly?



and, oh dear, matty had almost eaten all of daisy ... oops!



What did you play with on Christmas day? Did the sun shine?

Snow in Weymouth ....

so we went out into the snow, after breakfast ...



daisy helps make the head of a little snow man, with a big carrot ...



there, isn't he great?



then we came in and hit some innocent ginger-bread men to make some biscuit cake ...



then Steve came home early, and took the girls outside again ...



and created William Tell in the back garden ...

hardware ....

we have legs ....



steve and i have been building the NXT alpha rex over a series of evenings. i love putting together lego. steve is good at finding the bits, and then likes doing robot programming on his laptop.
the robot can almost walk, with just legs like this.



the robot still needs arms and his head (twin sonic sensors), so that will keep us happy for a few evenings yet ...
