What a wonderful christmas time

Here follows a photo story of Christmas Eve and Christmas day at our house.

Making the stuffing



Lighting the Advent Candles



Out for a walk to view the Christmas Lights



Watching some TV in pyjamas



Reading ‘Twas the night before Christmas


Mince Pie, port and carrots left for Santa and the reindeer


CHRISTMAS MORNING


The calm before the storm


Present Opening


The Christmas Table – set by the girls, including place cards and menus.





And the Menu – this is just the Starter and the Main Course – there wasn’t room for the desserts!


And the Main Course is ready to serve!


Some more presents to open


Some post dinner entertainment, for all the generations (yes…we too got a Wii)

And a final photo of the kids with their grandparents.

And so to bed…..

Thanks for joining us, come back soon.

PS update on George the cat – no he didn’t make it back home for Christmas, still at the vets and being missed by all. More updates soon.

5th day of December….. "May your days be merry and bright"I know for some Christmas can be a tough time, family missing from the Christmas dinner table for whatever reason.
