We had a very busy and fantastic xmas with family which started for me at 5 am because I was so excited and the turkey needed to go on! But in the lounge Santa had been

Bucks fizz and salmon cheers to all we had to bribe Crystal with cheese for this shot, and Hannah far right who is OH daughter smiled most of the day which was so lovely as she is very poorly suffering from severe mental health problems.


Then more family arrived and the present opening began

Mmmmmm don’t care about the presents but this paper is yummy

OH with his present to his self and one from Mummy Santa to add to his collection!


Laura still a little girl at heart opening pressies


Love pic of Lisa taken by little Livvy


Dolls are becoming more and more real these days!


Livvy as Belle from beauty and the beast she loves dressing up:)


Christmas dinner nearly without pigs in blankets had to put them under the grill to get them done in time as I remembered them right at the last minute!!!!


Koi christmas pressie in situ

Every one had a lovely time then we did it all over again the day after Boxing Day with OH daughter husband and boys George and Harry

We had a lovely time hope you all did too, only hiccup was part of my conservatory roof blew off in the winds but that has been patched up now so I can still sit and look and my garden and plan this years planting. Happy New Year Goyers and happy gardening in 2012.

LoL, I did pigs for that dinner party, no one really interested, so I dished them up with the venison and mash and they were left on the side of the plates..........the dogs ate them in the end!
Lovely to see your family Christmas Debs.
