Unbeknownst to us all, this would be Dylan's last Christmas.

Dylan, like most children, was a big fan of Christmas and the lead up to the big day. As a family we had our own Christmas traditions such as sprinkling reindeer food, Christmas Eve boxes and stockings.

As with every Christmas, the boys were up early to open stockings in bed before we piled downstairs to open our presents.

This Christmas, Dylan had asked for a pink motorbike, I could only get the red one but he wasn't disappointed although I think his favourite present was his Play-Doh pizza oven which combined two of his favourite things!
