Merry Christmas everybody!
Mark got up at 5.30 to put the beef and gammon in the slow cookers. Anais and Roman got up at a very reasonable 7.20. We opened the first batch of present's, had breakfast and then opened the second batch of present's
Nicolette, Jordan, Dylan & Lexi came over this afternoon followed by mom and dad and we exchanged more presents. A complete and utter mad house but lovely to be surrounded by family!
Here is something "Top Secret" we made before Christmas - I say "we" - I mean Jordan, Anais, Dylan, Roman and Lexi! Last week they made this fingerprint clock and wrote their names on for grandma and grandad for Christmas.

We also made dad a leather keyring and engraved it with pyrography with "dad" and "grandad" - unfortunately - forgot to take a photo of that so will have to take a photo at his house and add it later!
Lunch was slow cooked beef, gammon, roast potato's, parsnips, butternut squash, stuffing balls, pigs in blanket's, yorkshire pudding's, sprouts, green beans, carrot's and peas, red cabbage, chestnut stuffing and onion gravy. (Thanks mom for the red cabbage and chestnut stuffing!)

Nobody wanted any pudding so we had mince pies, Quality Streets, rum balls and Anais and Roman's ginger bread biscuits.
Festive Fred has been keeping us warm all day, so lovely to have a real flickering flame - creates such a lovely atmosphere!
Also see how hungry Father Christmas was - he finished off his plates of goodies!

We had such a lovely day. Thank you everybody for all of our presents! Can't believe how many craft things Anais' has had.
Anais loved "Cluedo" and has been beating everybody at it all day. Roman loved all of his Lego - this afternoon Mark and Roman built the City Harbour which took a couple of hours! "The Lone Ranger" film has been on twice today.
Message for Jordan - "hope you are feeling better soon! xxxx"
The reindeer's left a surprise on our drive this morning - I will post a picture tomorrow!
Once again thanks everybody for all of our presents and we wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! XXXX
