Funny "bath hair" photo ...

I love that they don't even realize you are doing silly hair styles on them! ;0) ... and then broadcasting the photos to the world!! ;0)

Opening presents from Auntie Donna - thank you! ;0)

One of the presents James got from Grandma and Grandad was a Monster Truck stunt set ... as you can imagine, it was a hit!! :0)

Some of Bekah's presents from Grandma and Grandad included ...

... a puppy in a carry case (and vet supplies!) - so Daddy doesn't need a real one now ...

And a little cooker/hob with pots and pans. Thank you!!

Grandma had suggested padded coat hangers as a gift for her ... they proved rather difficult to find ...

After several failed attempts to buy some with James, he said to me (very concerned) "But Grandma will be sad if she doesn't have a present!" It was really sweet!! But we found some in the end .... It's a good job Grandma looks so happy with them!!!

Grandma's Christmas cake!

Mummy got a funky apron of her own!

(With a matching oven glove which both James and Kezia seemed to think was a puppet!)

Tea towels are in!!!

Grandma got 2 pre-school tea towels this year. One from James' pre-school where each of the children had drawn a self-portrait and one from Grandma's neices' son's (got that????) pre-school where each child had done their handprint. :0)

Daddy, Grandad and Uncle Tris certainly enjoyed playing James' new Numberjacks game! (even if Uncle Tris does look slightly scary ...)

Auntie Caroline with her neices :0)

James and Kezia talked their daddys into playing "Rocket Blast Off" ... I think Kezia must've gone into orbit!

Cheers!

Cute close-ups ...

Opening a present from Auntie Caroline ...

I haven't got a good photo of her playing with it yet but this was a washing machine of her very own ... Let's hope she leaves mine alone now!!!!!

James loves reading stories with Uncle Adrian ... it's very sweet to watch.

James gets ready to open up a shop with his new till/cash register from Auntie Caroline :0)

Looks like Kezia is going to be the first customer! (and she's bought Ned with her!!!)

Not sure why they are both looking a bit cross ...

Playing with Christmas presents

Kezia thought this box would make a good hat for Auntie Joe!

Playing Leap Frog (a very old game that used to be one Mummy played as a little girl!) on New Year's Eve

Playing Guilotine on New Year's Eve (a gift from the Johnson family in America! Thank you!!)

Bought back some happy memories of us playing this game in the US ... ;0)

A frosty trip to the lake ...

On Monday (before the latest snow came ...) the munckins and I went for a trip to Maiden Earley Lake ... I managed to get this cute photo! I love our trips to this lake. We were going to feed the ducks but when we got there we discovered the lake was frozen ......

The frozen lake .....and the frozen munchkins ...

Christmas #2 with Grandma and Grandad

I was going to post the photos of our second Christmas with Grandma and Grandad but I've run out of steam! Here is a great photo of the munchkins with Grandma and Grandad to keep you going! ;0)
