Christmas Day


Mmmmm - making mulled apple juice, warm and full of spices.


Aunty Barbara gave some crazy fun filled gifts, poor Ciara - we all had a laugh at her with the crazy hat on. The children weren't sure about the orange bath goo at first, but then had a load of fun with it.
Making the white chocolate cream cheese icing for the Christmas cake.

There is no fruit in this Christmas cake - just chocolate fudge.
Jude opening presents on Christmas morning.

Niamh was pleased to have her own bible - a full text KJV kids study bible, and Eden got one too.

The table all laid out for Christmas lunch.

Aunty Linda and Julia.

Watching a movie with Aunty Ute - Jude was more than pleased that she joined us for lunch. Mike, Gareth and James messing around.
Grant did a good job carving the turkey.
Linda's lamb roast was amazing - a big hit with everyone.
Time to tuck in - what a blessing from the Lord to be able to enjoy good food with family and friends.
Grant and Linda. James and Lana.
The boys open their gifts together - what fun. Niamh was so happy to get her first bottle of nail polish, she must have applied it about 20 times throughout the day.We played a game of Spot the intro to so called popular music tracks (more difficult than you would imagine), the boys teamed up against the girls, they say they won, but I question James' adding up of the scores. Ciara is 3 months and very responsive now, Eden and Niamh had her in giggles for the first time.
Looking quite round and chubby.
Mike and Fiona and Ciara.

Eden had more fun with Jude's building outfit than he did, she was also pleased to get a new watch
