Christmas Day

What an amazing day, the culmination of days and weeks planning. There was great expectation for Santas arrival and he didn't disappoint! The tree was inundated with presents for everyone.

An early brekkie and then the twins helped divvy out the presents!

Phil got a fondue set which we'll try shortly!

Georgiana is into Pink!

Surprise, the family are off to NY in June for some live Harry Potter fun.

Then the show really started with some bubbly!

Christmas wouldn't be complete with out Anne's Gravlax!

Some amazing ham that was pre-sliced

Supported by stuffed pumpkin, beans, spuds, bread sauce, red cabbage and carrots

Ready to go!

Followed by a magnificent apple pie that Phil made.

A special thanks to Kristin's planning and cooking with sous help from Anne and Phil - such a lovely meal and ambience!

After lunch Anne and I needed a walk to help the digestion. We came across P&K's neighbours Dad John and son Cooper, playing hockey in a frozen pond near their house  - very MSP!

That's it folks, Christmas over and dusted, thanks everyone for making it so memorable. It was white in so much as snow being about but not precipitating as requested on the day. Some serious snow on the way we gather.
