[inaudible] Whoa.
I want my Christmas presents. I want to play with the toys.
[inaudible 00:00:20] Wow, thank you! [inaudible 00:00:27] Yay. [inaudible 00:00:32] It's that
Credit card thing. Yay. [inaudible 00:00:44] Yeah. A smart ball it counts and it glows

Yes, it's called a Diablo.
Whoa, can I play with it?
It's a circus game.
Yeah, I love them. I played with it on holiday aunt Maury has one. I want to show you how
to do it.
Frayser how old are you today?
Nine.
Nine!
Ow! I kicked the speaker. Ow!
How does it feel to be nine.
Good.
Yeah. Did you party today?
Yeah.
You excited?
Yeah.
Can you keep still?
No.
The birthday boy. Football mad. We love him.
Hi guys, yesterday was Fraysers ninth birthday. I can't actually believe how grown up he is.
This year it actually fell on a Saturday. So, he woke up, had his presents and then
we had a birthday party for him. We took 16 of his friends to laser tag and they loved
it. We did the party and then his best friend slept over as well. So I was intending to
film a little, but it was just crazy busy. Today is a new day, it's Sunday. Frey's had
a football match this morning and I hung out with the little ones at home. Now we're off
to see Santa at Marsh farm, we go to this farm every year. It's a bit of a tradition
of ours because Santa's grotto is brilliant. There's so much to do. We see the elves, then
we make cookies with Mrs. Clause, there's snow, you get to see Santa, there's Build
A Bear. It's really good to day out. So we're going to go to that now and I thought
I would take you with us cause I think I've logged every single year that we've been.
So yes, I'll take you with us on our festive family day and let's go.
Can everyone say Hi Frosty?
Hi Frosty!
My name is Ivy. Everyone give me a nice big wave. Hello, hello everybody.
[inaudible 00:04:44] What is it?

Say come to our house.
When I get to your house on Christmas Eve where are you going to be?
Sleep.
Asleep. Yes. Are you going to be asleep?[Crosstalk 00:13:27] You sleep. You can be asleep. He
thought he could hear me.
He might have caught you.
I'm very quick, very quick. [crosstalk 00:13:46].
I saw you in the morning when you came down the chimney.
You see me?
Yeah, when you came down the chimney.
Oh.
We don't have a chimney, do we?
We have a magic cave, don't we?
A magic cave.
We do have a chimney.
No, we don't.
It's a fireplace.
That's all you need is a fireplace.
Yeah.
Yeah. You don't have to have a fire going in it or anything because you got to have
a little chimney to get down. I can't get down the chimneys like this. I take something
that reduces my size so I can get down chimneys and it's magic.
I can't feel the heart.
The heart is inside.
Mommy. [crosstalk 00:15:19]
Frayser used to love that. You used to love that when you were little. [crosstalk 00:15:33]
Hi guys, It's Monday now and I'm just editing the video. I saw that I forgot to an outro
so I thought it would come on and say thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed
coming on our family festive day and seeing our little tradition. I thought it was so
sweet when the boys met Santa how they barely wanted anything from him. Frays was basically
like, I've got enough stuff, Caleb wanted slime, and Jackson wants a Yo Yo. And I don't
know, it's just so nice and so simple. Us as parents are the ones that make it complicated,
aren't we? I'm just really loving this Christmas. We're
just having a quiet one this year, just the five of us at home with Matt's dad. I'm really
looking forward to just staying in and letting the boys play with their toys. They're all
at perfect ages. This year just feels really, really special because the boys are nine,
six and three. I think for the first time, they're all understanding what's coming and
they're so excited. We've just had a really lovely month, every morning they're so excited
to see what the ELFS have done. They're just loving it. I also wanted to share
with you, you may have seen, I did a giveaway of toys recently on one of my other videos
and the woman that won, Cheryl, her name was, she has donated all the toys to a local children's
charity so that some children can get toys as Christmas. She sent me pictures of her
and her children and their football team donating all the toys. So it was very heartwarming.
I wish I could show you the photos, but those kids are in them. I'm really pleased that
they've all gone to children that really need them. I thought I would share that with you
and thank you so much for watching. I hope you're all having a lovely holiday
season. I know it's crazy, but we're nearly there. Thanks so much for watching and I'll
see you soon. Bye guys.
