Happy Christmas 2010

Christmas message from the twins follows.

So we met the Wiggles...

And if any proof were needed:

The Wiggles came to London last week to kick off their UK tour with a special mini concert at Westfield shopping centre for lots of lucky competition winners, which included us, or rather Georgina and the rest of us were her plus 4.

Before the Wiggles made it on stage we met Wags the Dog and Dorothy the Dinosaur, which was a source of great excitement for all the children present. Finally, the Wiggles made it on stage and performed for about half an hour. G & F spent most of the time bouncing around dancing along to the tunes and G kept trying to stand on her head, imitating the performers.

After the show the queue for the "meet and greet" was a bit too long, so I took myself off to work and the girls all got some lunch at M&S. After they came out, the queue had gone down, so they took their chance to meet all the Wiggles up close.

At this point the twins got a little shy and could only whisper "wake up Jeff"...

Many thanks to photographer Justin Sutcliffe who was on hand to take photos of the meet and greet, as I had also disappeared to work with the camera...

Here is a little video of the morning followed by the BBC report of the Wiggles, which was on TV the same morning.

We're off to see The Wiggles

Yes, Georgina (pictured below) has won 4 tickets to see the Wiggles at the Westfield Shopping Centre, tomorrow, and we've been invited to meet them afterwards.

It is just starting to sink in that we are going to see them "in real life".

Full report will follow....

Wake up Georgina!

Georgina tries to have a nap, but Francesca, inspired by the Wiggles, wakes her up, eventually...

Wonders of Youtube

Recently while on holiday in Spain, the twins enjoyed watching Youtube. In particular, they enjoyed this rendition of "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" from U2...

Thank Heaven For Little Girls - Xmas 2007

I have finally got around to making another video of the girls. The footage has all been taken over the course of the year and, in my traditional way, set to music... enjoy!

Sleep!!

In a milestone for Georgina and Francesca - and for their parents - they happily slept through last night all the way from midnight until 6am. Marvellous!

Some more photos

G & F were visiting their grandparents in Sussex last weekend... just to prove that they do have two sets. They managed to go for their first walk in the country, using their new Baby Bjorns.

And one of Georgina looking rather cute...

Smiling

At the end of last week, Francesca and Georgina began to smile properly - which inspired this little film.
