They never grow up!

The Christmas hols are nearly over..there is much to catch up on. I didn't expect to be woken up on Christmas morning at 7am by my 20 year-old and 18 year-old, leaping around and repeating "Christmas! Christmas! Christmas!" After the very excited present opening, we went to church and then on to my mil and fil's for a wonderful Christmas dinner.

My niece was delighted to have her big cousin sitting next to her. 

My mother came along too and lasted until nearly 11pm without asking us to take her home, which is quite something. She must have been enjoying herself.

Also there were my bil and sil Ste and Dee, with Dee's dad, over from South Africa. It is also lovely to have the family members from the bottom of the garden popping in. My niece, Sarah, was sporting the onesie I had asked Santa for, but the elves hadn't made enough of them. 

We had a lovely, relaxing day and fared sumptuously. I think I will be exercising it off for a long time to come.
