Last Saturday, we went to Marldon Christmas Tree farm to see Father Christmas. It was a surprise for the boys as we didn’t tell them we were going but they all got excited when they realised what we were doing, moreso Aaron and Coby. We spoke to the Elves but the cabin that Father Christmas was in and they chatted to the boys and asked questions confirming what they wanted for Christmas, as they already knew what they wanted. It was then time to go in and see Father Christmas. They all sat down next to him and he spoke to them about what they wanted for Christmas and checked if they had been naughty or good.  They then all got a present.  Ben got a magic set, Aaron got a spy telescope and, unfortunately, Coby got a baby toy which was for children 12 months old.  It was a real shame as the other two presents were really good. Coby wasn’t impressed as you can imagine! Shame!

We then went for a ride on the Christmas ‘Train’ and saw the animals, that included some Reindeer, Donkeys, Geese and Husky dogs. The boys all loved seeing the animals and stroking the dogs. We then looked around the craft stalls before leaving, with our feet being icy cold as it was freezing.

It had been a nice couple of hours but a shame about Coby’s present.
