They had put up a tree on the roadside at Richlands and our children painted seed pods silver and red to decorate it.
There was singing and dancing and our Happy House kids were happy to take their turn to entertain and did their Mama and Papa proud, as always!
They enjoyed sweet treats and drinks and had a brilliant morning.
Homeward bound
Jo and Peter Reid, their son Maxwell and his friend Ben Cheston are now back home on the Fylde coast after an incredible visit to the Happy House.
Ben and Max were volunteering throughout their stay, and Peter and Jo also helped out in any way they could ... with Peter being given a starring role at our Christmas celebration.
Thank you Jo, Peter, Max and Ben for your support and your friendship.
