Hello blog readers. This is Jackson. On my second visit to England I stayed at my Auntie Lynn and Uncle Graham’s house. We got there on the 20th of December and left on the 29th. These are my favorite things I did.
This was probably one of my best Christmases ever!!! I was told not to expect much because we can't take much with us on our trip. So I didn't expect much and I got a lot more than expected so I was really pleased. Auntie Lynn and Uncle Graham spent all day making a delicious traditional British Christmas lunch. My Nanna came and stayed all day. We also watched movie called Avatar.
On my 9th birthday JJJJJJ Uncle Graham made the best English pancakes EVER! Then I opened presents. After that Uncle Graham set up his game called scaletrix (a car racing game) and then we played it. For lunch we had pizza and for dinner my Auntie Lynn set up a really nice desert buffet with all my favorite things on it like chocolate, cake, brownies, profiteroles and chocolate covered strawberries. I turned nine at 6:02 pm.

Another day my dad took Savannah and I sledging (same as sledding for my US friends). To get to the hill we had to climb over a gate and walk past some sheep. I accidentally stuck my glove in some sheep poop - it was really fun.
I had a great time with my family in England. I will miss Nanna and her dog Meg and I can't wait to see Auntie Lynn and Uncle Graham again in Turkey.
Hi, Savannah and Jackson.
ReplyDeleteYour gm and gp are here at the Heppes celebrating Xmas and eating lunch. This is the entire message because I want to know if you received this before I write more.
We do love your pictures!!

Hi Jackson,
ReplyDeleteWOW, sounds like you had a great Christmas and a wonderful birthday. A dessert buffet - I wish I was there!! It was great seeing you and talking to you in Morocco. Can't wait to hear all about that country too! Love, Gramma & Grampa
I shall have to look up what PROTITEROLES are, as I have no clue. British Xmas lunch??? English pancakes???...a different world! After reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, I do know what sledging it. My favorite picture of you is the one of you and the seal.
ReplyDeleteTo all: We actually saw a big report on all the snow London had received and also about the cold temps. Glad you took your winter coats!
Jennifer had told me to tell you the name of a soup you MUST try in Morocco. I had written it in the other email which I had sent you which didn't go thru but now I forgot what it is. When I talk with her today, I shall ask her again.
Happy New Year to all. Can't wait to hear your Moroccan report.
I think the top part of my comments are gone!!!
Savannah, it looks like something happened to the comments I posted to you, so now I shall make this short! I loved the descriptions of all the places you visited in England and France. My favorite would be to see Notre Dame. I didn't know that it was built on an island in the Seine. I loved the picture of you and Lucy and loved the row houses where I assume she lives.
ReplyDeleteJackson, some of your comments were not posted, so I want to say that it sounds like you are eating your way thru England and France!
WOW! Jack, it sounds like you had a great birthday. Its always nice to get more than you expect to. Joe and I got to go sledding once, and then the snow melted :(. Paris sounds great!! I loved the picture of you guys infront of the Effle Tower. (Know I have hummiliated myself by spelling that wrong). We all hope you all are having a great time!! XXXOOO Gianna
