Switching on Downton's Christmas Tree lights

General 

Elliott was very good for all of today, although in the afternoon before we went out he became a little restless, but a change of scene helped change this.

Activities

In the morning we drove over to Salisbury where we went to see the Sladens again. Elliott, Charlie and Alice all played very nicely together and Elliott had a lot of fun. We also had a very successful and calm toy swap (Water Hazard action figure swapped with Charlie's Darth Vader action figure). After a few hours we headed to Granny and Grandpa's where we had a spaghetti bolognese lunch that he ate very nicely.       

After lunch we watched Dragons: Defenders of Berk cartoons and then played Connect 4 on the iPad with Granny. As we felt a bit restless we decided to go to Tescos where I got him some tracksuit bottoms for football and he showed Granny some ideas for presents for Christmas. On our way home we drove past lots of people walking through Downton following Santa Claus so we stopped and joined in and watched as Downton's Christmas Tree lights were switched on. We stayed for a little bit after the lights were switched on to listen to some carols and there was a brass band there as well, though we left before they started playing. After we got back we had a smooth bed time and he did some really good reading before bed.
