A play date with Santa

Two weekends ago we took Thomas to see Father Christmas at Leeds Castle with our NCT friends and we all had such a lovely afternoon. All the children loved the long walk looking at all the peacocks, ducks and geese and all the parents loved it too as we could all have a catch up too. We decided it would probably be best if we went to see santa all together as the little ones would get support from their little buddies and hopefully not cry too much. Bless their cotton socks as most of them were little angels and weren't frightened at all. Thomas was a good boy too but didn't want to sit next to Santa on the sleigh and was very impressed at all the decorations. He loved his present - a little penguin and carried him all the him all the way back to the car. We all then went to a large pub with restaurant afterwards and 'tried' to have a nice meal together. As always I was very on edge about food for Thomas but needn't have worried as he was having too much fun playing to want to sit down and eat food - he ate loads when we got home so I think all the walking made him very hungry and very tired! A few photos of a thoroughly lovely afternoon.
