Merry Christmas



Some of you may remember that Olivia asked Father Christmas for a stuffed owl toy in her Christmas letter. She got one, as you can see. She was delighted.



Sarah was hoping she'd get a Nintendo DS for her main present - she did - she was so pleased she didn't even bother to complain I was photographing her!



Here's Alex opening what will turn out to be a complete set of Just William stories on CD - good for listening to at bedtime.



And of course, if one girl gets a DS, the other has to have one... They are going to share the games, though!



And Alex wanted "small lego" (i.e. not Duplo, but proper Lego) - this is a complete fire station set - some assembly required! I have to say, though, the instructions for putting together Lego are excellent - if only flatpack furniture instructions were so easily followed!



Snoopy Pyjamas. Big Snoopy Fan.




Some of the Lego, including an extendable ladder fire engine.






My personal favourite!

Sarah got this in her stocking - I love these little crystal gardens - they are so cool!

Here we are about to eat - roast pork, chipolatas, roast potatoes, cabbage, gravy - some champagne and fancy apple juice for the kids.
Happy Christmas to you all!

I love the photos, especially the one of Geoff in a Santa hat with braids! (a Mrs. Santa hat?)Seeing pictures is the next best thing to being with you. I did notice that you did not have a traditional English Christmas dinner this year. Roast pork might pass, but chipolatas? I'm sure it was delicious, anyway.
Love,
Mom
