WOW, and you made it to church?? I bet you had some nice naps in the afternoon yesterday! :)
I went through Stansted when I went to London from Germany. It brings back the memories. I loved your photos. Looks like you had a fabulous time!
I remember the time when i had visited london
Thanks for popping by my blog. Just found yours last week and enjoyed reading about your trips!! The fabric shown in my header was ordered online from Shabby Fabrics.
Whew!!! That was a quick one. Looks like you had a fabulous time. I love Phantom of the Opera. I would love to see it in London. Someday!
Wow! You are the best parents EVER! My children and husband took me (for Mother's Day) to see the Phantom when we lived in England. I think we even had similar seats! (Front row, center, balcony) It was fabulous! What an amazing memory for your precious child.
I can't believe you are taking on a reno in Germany. What brave souls you are! My husband lived there before we met, and says the work is the best. (But slow... but isn't it everywhere? :D)
Thanks for visiting my blog!
What a wonderful surprise! Isn't it fun to spend time with just one child from time to time?! I am sure he felt so special!
