Whose family are we going to meet today?

Gracie and Mila's.

Gracie is six...

SHE IMITATES ROCKET

Mila is five and they're sisters.

They live with their dad, mum and brother, Billy,

in a town near the countryside.

I wonder what they're up to today.

Gracie and Mila are expecting a special visitor.

To look their best, they're brushing each other's hair.

Which colour hair bobble do you want, Mila?

-How many bobbles?

-One.

THEY GIGGLE

Your feet's in the bobble box.

I like it.

Gracie, look at my hands.

GRACIE LAUGHS

I hope there are enough clips left for the hair.

Can I have one, please?

Please?

Another one, please.

I need...one, two, three, four, five more. There's one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

-I need one more, just one.

-There's another shiny one.

-You've tipped everything out.

-It doesn't matter.

You look funny, Mila.

Looks more like a crocodile tail than a ponytail.

What do you think of it, Mila?

I don't like it.

Mila's given up on doing Gracie's hair,

leaving Gracie to do her own.

One more. There.

Mummy will love this.

Right, let's go and show Mummy.

-Wow, look at you.

-Let me look at the back.

-Give us a twirl, Gracie.

-Whe-e-e!

Whoo!

Gracie and Mila have lots of stickers and a huge sheet of paper.

What are they making?

Try and get it neat.

-Do you want to draw a person for me?

-OK, I'll draw a person.

With a flower on the grass.

It's a banner to welcome their special visitor,

their new baby cousin, Ivy.

Look, Gracie's drawing a picture of Ivy right in the middle.

-Is it grass?

-Yeah.

A flower on the grass.

I'm drawing round my own hand.

Actually, that's a good idea, drawing your own hand.

Carefully does it, Gracie.

What's Mila drawing on her handprint?

Fingernails.

And footprints, too, with Dad's help.

-Ta-da!

-I'm going do draw my foot.

-That is a really nice idea, that.

-Thank you.

-That tickles.

-Does it?

-Yeah.

I've drawn my foot and my hand.

-Did it tickle?

-No.

-There we go.

I think this is a job for the whole family.

-Can I do your other hand?

-Go on, then.

-Does that tickle?

-Yeah.

-Up!

-Ooh, oh, look at how thin my arm is.

MUM LAUGHS

Argh, it tickles! Wow!

Wow, look at that!

Oh, it tickles! Is it nearly done? Ooh, let's have a look.

I've only got four toes.

THEY GIGGLE

It's looking amazing. I think she's going to be

so happy with it, isn't she?

The banner's almost done, just a few last additions.

Oh, wow. This is the best banner I have ever seen.

Gracie, what's that you're doing?

It's the space thing, where astronauts live in space.

-Is this is where they live, in there, in the space station?

-Yeah.

-Do you know what you've not drawn on the space station, Gracie?

-What?

-What do you want to take to the moon?

-Oh, horsie!

You've not drawn your horsie.

All finished and it's time to show mum.

Look at that! That is amazing.

Mummy, do you like the space station and my rocket and my horsie?

-Oh, I do.

-Can I show you a bit of mine?

I've drawn a nurse and she's got one, two, three, four, five,

-six legs and four arms.

-Six!

-Look at your big toenail.

-Why is it so big?

-Because you've grown it!

One, two, three...

Before baby Ivy arrives, the family plays a game of hide and seek.

..four, five, six...

Mila and Mum hide, Gracie, Dad and Billy have to find them.

Good hiding place, Mila, under the duvet on Billy's bed.

..17, 18...

Look at Mum, she'll be very hard to find.

-Ready or not, here I come!

-Coming! Go.

That's the cupboard Mum's in, better keep quiet.

-No.

-Look in your bedroom.

-OK.

Gracie, Dad and Billy look everywhere.

They're in there.

Hi!

Go, go, go!

MILA LAUGHS

-There's Mila. Where's Mummy?

-I don't know.

DAD GASPS

MUM SCREAMS

THEY LAUGH

-Wow.

-Right, Mummy, you count now.

Right, come on, Mila, we'll go downstairs, we'll do the counting.

We've got to beat that now, Gracie. Go!

One, two, three, four, five...

Gracie is hiding in Mum and Dad's big wardrobe.

..seven, eight, nine, ten,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17...

Dad and Billy are heading for the bath.

..19, 20. Ready or not, here I come!

Let's go get them.

MUM GASPS

DAD GROWLS

THEY SCREAM

-They found us, Billy!

-See, I heard Billy's voice,

-so thank you to me.

-They found us.

Shall we look for Gracie? Where is she?

-Mila, have you found her yet?

-No!

Sh-h-h! Oh, oh, you're getting warmer. You're cold!

Where is she? What've you done with my girl?

-DAD LAUGHS

-Where is she?

Wherever you are, Gracie, don't move.

They try to tempt Gracie out of her hiding place.

-Shout chocolate, she'll come out.

-We've got chocolate!

-Ignore the chocolate!

-Where is she?

-No, we've got chocolate!

We've not checked behind the door.

No, Mummy, she's not there. Gracie, we're not giving up!

Mila's in the same room as Gracie now.

-Have you moved the coats at the bottom?

-Gracie, Gracie.

Right bedroom, but wrong hiding place.

-Ignore Daddy.

-It's too difficult.

-Gracie!

-Keep still Gracie!

-I'm going to see in the kitchen.

-Go on.

-Where's Gracie?

-Gone.

-She's gone, where's she gone?

-Gone.

-She's gone.

-Have you found her, Mila?

-No.

Stand there. You give up, do you?

Gracie, we are the champions, would you like to come out, please?

Yay!

THEY LAUGH

We are the champions, aren't we, Gracie?

Well done, Gracie, the hide and seek champion.

# We were the champions!

# We are the champions! #

Cousin Jacob and uncle Neil have arrived with baby Ivy.

-Look what we made.

-We made that for Ivy.

-Oh, fantastic.

-And that's Jacob.

-Love it.

-And, Jacob, this is a space machine.

That doesn't look like one.

Can you tell by the rocket and the flower bursting out of it?

And that's the pony and that's the toilet and that's the bed.

And that's a hand with a love heart in.

And, Jacob, do you like your little sister when she's older?

-Why are her ears pointing downwards?

-They're not ears.

-Do you know pigtails?

-Yeah.

-Well, they're like that.

And this one is my foot.

-With a love heart in it?

-Yeah.

-"Gracie's."

Mila and Gracie have chosen some toys to give to Ivy.

We said Ivy could keep the caterpillar, because, look.

CATERPILLAR MUSIC PLAYS

-Caterpillar:

-Classical music.

I love you, Ivy! Hello, hello.

-Oh, thank you.

-So, at night-time, she can wiggle him.

-Fantastic.

-Does Gracie or Mila want a hold?

-Yes, please.

-Yeah.

Sit on the settee.

Then, what the girls have been waiting for,

a chance to hold the baby.

Is that your little cousin? Be gentle.

Isn't she gorgeous? Mila, do you want a cuddle?

She looks so cute.

Tuck your arm, move over and tuck your arm in.

There we are. Keep your arm nice and steady. Oh, oh, big yawn!

-Aw!

-Blow kisses, Billy.

-Billy is.

-Kisses, kiss her arm.

Mwah!

DAD GASPS

And a smile from baby Ivy to make it a perfect day for the family.

I wonder who we're going to meet next time on Our Family.
