Christmas 2

We decided to consolidate Christmas presents this year - something of decent size rather than lots of bits and pieces to get lost.
By far the coolest present was Gracie's digital camera. She took photos of everything that moved...children, dogs, visitors, her disgruntled mother that was trying to get dressed after her shower (that one was DELETED & she was barred from re-entering the bedroom)

Her Christmas looked something like this..

Tara also fared well with a surfboard - however there has been no surf to speak of since it arrived.

In an attempt to promote athletic endeavour with Tilly, we decided on a bike. Those who know her understand that she *is* Anne of Greengables and as such would prefer to have her head in a book than doing anything that might promote sweat. Her face gave this away when she discovered her present. As you can see, I have NO photo of her actually riding it yet. Her response to a phone enquiry from her uncle as to what she got for Christmas was "..lets not talk about it". Poor Till. I did also get her her the complete Anne of Greengables DVD series to complement the bike, so at least she was happy with this.

We had Bill's parents siblings, families for Christmas, so it was a full and busy house. I doubt they would like all the family pics on my blog ... It was great to catch up with everyone :)
