Did you say six?: Christmas 2011

This is all I have to show for Christmas 2011...no more, no less

I'm still frustrated for the loss of photos'

No photos of the wonderful pile of prezzies that Father Christmas, Aunty Jackie, Uncle Paul, Nanny Ann and us left for the children in the morning.

But I must see the glass as half full as I DO have a couple of snaps of the day

Abba had a lovely bottle of No5 (I'm not at all jealous!) from PK and Mag Mags, a gift to cheer her up after her spell in hospital

Fonzy LOVES Plymobil, it's plastic but so sturdy that it will last to his children and he has been after this model for some time so was pretty chuffed to have it and spent a lot of time crashing bikes and cars so he could rescue them

Loopy was bought this pink monster of a dolls clothes wardrobe and has gone all Hello Kitty on us with this lovely jumper from her biggest sister!

The little ones decided they could wait no longer patiently for dinner and sat at the table a good half hour before it was ready...

...entertaining themselves in various ways whilst nagging 'encouraging' words to me in the kitchen...

...they couldn't quite believe their luck when they were allowed to have a fizzy with dinner...

Dinner was worth the wait though if I say so myself...

I need to work on the portion sizes though, it's the second year in 20odd years that we've eaten alone and I have to say I cooked enough to cover any strays that may have wandered through at lunchtime
