Ah thanks Snadgar, but I just love doing stuff like that with them.
Grandkids are lovely, and I think as we get older we cherish all these things even more.
I know when my own kids were growing up i never seemed to have enough time to do all the fun thing I would have liked.

Im too young for grandkids but every year my son and I spend a whole day cwtched up in bed watching christmas films with a variety of christmas snacks and treats.We set up base and only get out of bed to look out the window to see if it's snowing (even when there is no snow forcast or at all likely!)
Were both in agreement that it doesn't feel like christmas untill we've done this ....and we HAVE to watch Elf he's 12 now and has assured me were going to do this forever!
