This day I love.......: Wyevale Garden centre

When the girls woke up this morning they were a little confused. I had not made them breakfast and it was not sat waiting from them like usual. Instead they were told to get dressed as we would be having breakfast somewhere special. We arrived at our local Wyevale garden centre and was greeted by an elf who gave us directions for breakfast, the girls were now very excited.

Another elf showed us to our table and the girls got stuck in straight away pulling Christmas crackers whilst waiting for breakfast to arrive.

There was even time to do a spot of festive colouring.

Breakfast was full English for all of us and my youngest kept saying 'Beans?for breakfast?' They rarely have a full English so it is a treat for them to have one. I was surprised at how much they did eat, especially given the excitement of all the elves!

The elves said the girls had been really good at eating all their breakfast and so deserved a treat. First however they needed to sing Jingle bells. As they came to the end of Jingle bells they got a real surprise as in walked Father Christmas!

The girls were a little star struck but soon got round to having a chat and a giggle with Father Christmas

After all the excitement the girls sat back down at the table and began creating some festive ginger biscuits.

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. The girls had a wonderful time and I think are going to want to do this every morning.

This day I love a surprise for breakfast

Thanks to Wyevale garden centre for providing us with tickets for Breakfast with Father Christmas. All words are my own opinion.

I woke the girls up early last Saturday and told them we were going for breakfast with Grandma and then off shopping. They were excited to see Grandma and even more to have breakfast out. We were heading over to our local Wyevale Garden Centre for a special treat.

The lovely elves showed us to our table, which had been laid out just like a Christmas dinner

My youngest was too young to remember pulling a cracker but my eldest loved this. The girls were so excited and loved this touch. It made it very special for them.

Also on our table was some treats, a gingerbread tree and some icing.

Before we could begin decorating our tree breakfast arrived.

The girls couldn't believe their luck, they could have beans for breakfast!

We all started to eat our breakfast which had been brought to us by the elves. Out of the corner of my daughters eye she spotted something.

Father Christmas had come for breakfast!

The girls could not quite believe it. Father Christmas was here whilst they were having their breakfast. To try and take their mind off the very special guest we began decorating our biscuits.

My eldest was incredibly pleased with her creation and it tasted yummy too

We seemed to time things really well because Father Christmas came over to say hello just as she took a bite. My eldest had drawn him a picture which she took great pride in handing to him

She was so happy that he had come over to speak to her and that he liked her drawings

It was really lovely to watch her smile and laugh and see how magical it was for her that Father Christmas had come to breakfast.

Father Christmas made a special effort to visit every table and spend time with every family and this was so lovely. He didn't rush and all the children were so happy that they got to meet him like this. We were then given the opportunity to have our photo taken with Father Christmas.

The girls got to pick their gift from a selection available on the table. I liked this because it meant you could choose something appropriate to the children. Also there was no arguments over wanting what the other one has.
