A Holiday Glimpse

We had a relaxing holiday time with our nearest and dearest.

 

Christmas cheer runs strong in this one....
Christmas Eve was spent with my family.  We each opened one gift as per tradition and then we went to church.


Then it was straight home to set out Santa's cookies and milk.   As you can tell, these two were ready for bed.

R was the first one out of bed on Christmas morning and for once we actually had to wake B!  The kids were thrilled with their gifts.
 There's no better ego boost than a four year old"s unbridled laughter at your jokes...
 It actually snowed on Christmas Day which is a rare treat for us so we had a snowball fight in the hot tub...
 ..... R & B & I vs. RKA

Then we had a lovely ham dinner prepared by RKA.

 New Year's Eve - Our long lost friends came to ring in the New Year, complete with sparklers, noisemakers and the countdown at midnight.


 Happy New Year!
