It started a couple of weeks ago when the grandchildren each received an invitation from Lapland UK to help Father Christmas. The elves were behind with their toy making and needed some help.
It was difficult to contain the excitement as we set off through a magical forest in search of Santa's workshop.
We walked past various small houses.
We found the factory and helped to make some wooden reindeers which the elves then magically turned into soft toys.
We helped to decorate Gingerbread men for Mother Christmas.
The highlight of the day was, of course, meeting Father Christmas.

What a lovely outing! My granddaughters would have enjoyed this too. Merry Christmas, Marie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea for the little ones! And the young at heart, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun family outings. I love the magical forest, It would put me in the festive mood. Enjoy your day and have a happy new week!
how lucky you are and at least the children have something ! In Belgium there is nothing except a lot of garlands, the Flemish part of Belgium doesn't care about Christmas for the it's Saint Nicolas. The Waloons are celebrating as we do and it's rather difficult to explain while this year Father Christmas is stuck and not allowed to go through the chemneys !
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical place for the little ones and I am sure the adults enjoyed also.
ReplyDeleteQuite neat!

I'm glad that you retrieved some fun and happiness from this year. It's been a horrible year for children (of all ages).
ReplyDeleteLooks like they would have had a wonderful time and fortunate that you got it in before the lock down news I woke to this morning.
ReplyDeleteAwww - how cute! But I'm a bit confused as I know Lapland is in the northern regions of Scandinavia... and not the UK!
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet to expierence this as a child!
ReplyDeleteHow blessed are the children!
ReplyDeleteAw, that’s so sweet. And lovely you could share it with your grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteoh how very very cool. My 3 would've flipped their lids if I'd taken them to something like that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to share this with the Grandchildren before everything changed. Must have been a magical day!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely experience and i m glad you all (big and little) got to experience it. I’m glad you are still with your daughter and family now .
