Here is Lewis' friend Luke practising his reading!
Debbie and Matthew treated us to bowling and we also got to meet Father Christmas and he was LOVELY!
Lewis loves playing with his musical instruments, especially when he's not feeling too good and we cant go outdoors.
We went to visit Karen and Joe, William and Bethany, Elisha and Emily, and Lew was so happy to see them! He especially loves the girls!
Lewis loved having a cuddle with Elisha.

At the Bluebell Wood Christmas Party in Sheffield. Matthew and his dad Robert had their photo taken with some Star Wars characters!
Us at the Bluebell Wood Christmas Party.
Lew got to meet Father Christmas AGAIN! He was so lovely and Lew really enjoyed meeting him.
At the end of the party, it SNOWED! (Indoors!).
As Christmas approached, Lew's health got worse and he wasnt feeling very well at all. So it was a lovely surprise to receive a gift from one of his Postpal friends.
He also got a lovely card!
These beautiful window decorations from Lewis' cousin Evie really do brighten up his bedroom!
Stuck indoors again as Lew wasnt well, so we got the musical instruments out again and played Christmas songs! Lew loved watching Miss Jodie!
We really really needed some fresh air, so we braved the cold for a walk around the lake to feed the birds. Lewis was really excited that his friend Luke could come with us!
Back home in the warm, having a go on the Nintendo Wii!
We were very lucky indeed on Christmas Eve to be able to travel to Leicester for lunch with Nathan's mum Anna, dad Andrew, and his grandparents Myrtle and Michael. (www.caringbridge.org/visit/nathanbovell).
Lew was too poorly to go in the pool, but Nathan loved it and I had a go too! Very nice way to spend Christmas Eve, especially after a delicious lunch!
Christmas Day finally arrived and Samuel and Lew were thrilled to receive so many parcels from Postpal friends. Thank you so much Postpals!
Thank you Aunty Lucy, Uncle Mike, and cousins Katy and Emily for the fabulous books and the DVDs!
Thank you Caroline, Mr Caroline, Kyle and especially Declan for the super cool cheeky monkey top and jeans! (www.declan-kelly.com).
Thank you so much Maisie and Oliver for the super dancing snake!
Lewis and Samuel (and me and James) got a huge box of pressies from our special Postpal Sian and her little brother Jamie!
Later, Granny and Grandad did some dancing for Lewis! Also in the picture is Lew's Pingu which he loves! Thank you so much Evie (and Aunty Nicola and Uncle Lee).
Granny reading Lewis a story.
Later, after lunch, we played a game! Granny and Grandad Colin and Grandad Skinny made us laugh!
On Boxing Day Lew was very poorly so spent most of the day in bed sleeping. Later in the evening he came downstairs for a cuddle with his Granny and Grandads.
Lew hasnt been well over Christmas, but we have managed to stay away from hospital! Today (28th) Lewis is feeling much better, so fingers crossed his illness has passed and he can keep improving in time for 2008!
We hope you have enjoyed our selection of photographs from the Christmas period. Thank you to our family and friends and of course postpals (http://www.postpals.co.uk/) posties for all the wonderful gifts and cards Lewis and Samuel received.
He also went to a Christmas party with Homestart (
and then Tobey and Callum came back to our house and we played on our Wii!
As always, we hope you enjoy the photographs!
