Great Grandad Don, Uncle David and Nana Moo

Uncle David is over from Australia so we hook up with Great Grandad Don and Nana Moo and go to the pub.

Grandad Don is teaching Lucy chess.

King's prawn to bishops' horse nine.

"Well - I didn't expect a fianchetto!"

Art Room

Lucy has got a table and chairs for Christmas so we can turn our conservatory into her art room.

She also has lots of pens and some Plasticine.

Ever inventive Lucy decides to make a hedgehog by combining the two.

Binoculars

Lucy isn't very impressed with these binoculars. Perhaps because it is actually a View Master. And she is holding it upside down.

She looks equally dismissive of the real binoculars. She can't see any birds.

So Marcus turns her into a bird. Flap flap.

Holly's House

Lucy is at a party at Holly's house. Lucy checks to see if she is taller then Damon yet. Nearly.

Mummy and Wig chillax.

Holly and Ellen are both in their party best.

Wig and Olly sit in the middle of the carnage that the kids have created.

Oscar and Damon.

Damon and Marcus keep the kids in line

Damon and Marcus are looking after Olly, Lucy and Holly.

They are all having a lazy afternoon.

Holly is very happy.

Play Time!

Lucy is at a play world adventure place. She is brimming with confidence on the high bridge. Mummy looks rather more pensive.

Down the slide.

Lucy has a ride with Captain Pugwash.

Lots of rides.

Dalek!

Lucy thought that the only all black creature that was made of pure cunning and evil was Boo. She hadn't reckoned on Daddies Christmas present from Pink and Stewby.

Exterminate

"I say old chap, could you give me a hand getting down from this table. It is rather hampering my quest for galactic dominance".

Hobbledy Hobbledy

There seems to some dispute over the words of the nursery rhyme "This is how the Lady rides". Grandad has his version. "This is how the lady rides. Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop"

"This is how the Gentleman ride. Gallop, Gallop, Gallop"

"And this is how the Old Man rides. Hobbledy. Hobbledy..."

"...all the way down".

This is clearly the definitive version.

Sympathy for Uncky Kev

Despite Aunty Sue's valiant defensive arm, cowardly gunslinger Lucy manages to shoot Uncky Kev in the back while he is putting his glass back on the table.

Lucy exhibits very little sympathy for her slain foe.

Tired

Christmas can be a tiring business.

Lucy snuggles up on Grandad's chair.

Shooting Stars

Lucy has opened her Christmas cracker. Inside there is a water pistol. This could be messy!

Everyone thinks it is very funny when Lucy shoots Jonny.

Daddy and Uncky Kev mock Lucy's marksmanship.

Big mistake! She has turned on them. Kev tries to save Daddy from a soaking. He fails.

Who is the next victim in Lucy's sights?

It's Grandad! That's a mighty dangerous target. Perhaps she should pick on someone smaller?

Yes - back to soaking her beloved cousin.

Mummy has to have a serious word with Lucy. Please stop soaking everyone.

Face. Bovvered? Do I look bovvered?

Stuffing

One of the best things about Christmas is having a smashing ball of stuffing with your turkey dinner.

Goggles

What a fantastic christmas present. These goggles will come in very handy when Lucy goes swimming with Mummy. Or if she decides to go flying.

She's Behind You!

I'm behind you bellows Lucy to Uncky Kev.

And indeed she is. With her little bear friend and Upsy Daisy costume.

Wrestling with Tiss

Aunty Tiss undermines her child hating reputation by engaging in a bout of wrestling with Lucy. Aunty Pink looks on in amusement while Stewby tries to avoid the enormous flapping feet flashing before his face.

Lucy emerges after a tight bout. They agree it was a draw.

Jonny Cantona

Lucy loves cousin Jonny and Aunty Sue. Jonny likes to wear his collar like Eric Cantona.

I think Lucy prefers Jonny to Eric.
