Dear Reg and Peppermint,

Today we found out what are Christmas decorations in my school in my class - class 2 but not if it's maths because that's class 1and I know what 13+4=? 13+4= 17! I even know what 100-95 is 100-95=5 I know what half past 12 looks like.
what is your favourite sport? Mine is football. How do you actually make those ladders? I hope that reg is good at flying now!

love from Emily and Aiden xxxx

P.S. hope you have a merry Christmas Goodnight x

Dear all,

I climbed into the loft to get the Cd's because I'm finding your house a bit boring there is nothing here very christmassy and it's making Reg and i homesick! I thought you could play some Christmas music on the Cd player it would make your house a bit more jolly and us feel more at home. I'm glad you have started your growing things, I hear Aiden's is the snowman and Emily's is the Santa - whose is the tree? I can't wait to see what they look like when they are fully grown.
Reg and I love our beds they are so warm and cosy. I did laugh when you brought us downstairs and we found Reg on the rooftops, he says he's getting good at landing.

Lots of love Peppermint and Reg xxx

P.S. I didn't mind you ripping out a page of the book x

Dear Peppermint and Reg,

lots of love Emily and Aiden.

P. S. thanks for the growing things x

1st Dec Peppermint and Reg to Emily and Aiden

Dear Emily and Aiden,

We didn't mind you leaving a carrot for Reg he really loves them, he thought he wasn't going to get one when Kizzy dog stole the first one, he very nearly forgot himself and chased after her but just remembered at the last minute.
I'm glad you enjoyed tidying up after Reg you may find you may have to do it everyday!
Reg has decided to have a go at flying today, he won't know where to land as he normally needs a roof top to land on.
Your house and car are not very christmassy. I seem to remember last year your mam got some christmas cd's from the loft, so i'm going to have a go at getting up there to get them.
If I'm missing in the morning please send someone up to the loft to rescue me.
Reg and I loved our cuddley toys that yoou gave us to hug. Reg seems a lot more settled we've been n contact wth his parents and they are going to try and send him some photos. love you lots peppermint and Reggie
P.S. I've got these magic growing things for you to do, let's see which one turns out the best. x

1st Dec just before bed

After the first day in our house Reg and Peppermint seem quite settled Aiden wasn't too keen on eating reindeer poo and it was making him feel sick (first time I've known him refuse chocolate looking forward to lots of mischief.


Dear Reg and Peppermint,

Hope you don't mind but we decided to let Reg have a carrot before bedtime. Peppermint you might be able to share the carrot between you and Reg. The reindeer poo was quite nice and tasted like chocolate.
Hope you will enjoy the carrot , lots of love Emily and Aiden xxxxxxxxx

Dear Emily and Aiden,

I'm having to write this very sneakily so Uncle Paul does not see me! I was going tot write to you last night but the weather was so cold we got delayed when the sleigh we were traveling in froze! Reg and i were so tired that we could not be bothered to move!!

Rudolph is Reggie's uncle, Reg wants to be just like him when he grows up he already has a big red nose just like his Uncles.
I had a lovely Christmas but I missed you lots and lots, I'm so pleased to be back here with you and Aiden.

I have sneaked into your room and listened to your cd, I really love the Night before Christmas poem and I couldn't believe it was Santa reading it I felt like I was back home! ( I hope uncle Paul did not hear me he was singing very loudly), Reg didn't come because he was scared in case he got caught, I think he's a bit home sick so I gave him a Christmas book with pictures of Reindeer's in to keep him happy.

Can't wait till you get back home from school
lots of love Peppermint and Reg xxxxx

p.s. I forgot to mention that sometimes Reg makes a mess (poo) in his basket - would you please clean it up!! ( it's quite safe for boys and girls to eat it if they want - magic reindeer poo is quite tasty)
