We have had a lovely Christmas. It all began yesterday on the 24th December with a lovely brunch of bacon, eggs, and special Danish bread. Then it was off to church for a short Christmas service. (Nice to take time out to remember the real meaning of it all!) It was then down to Krisitans brothers house for a family gathering. Not all the family were gathered this year, but we were 14 gathered for dinner.
We had such a cosy evening. The kids enjoyed playing with their wee cousins (2 year old twins), while the adults got dinner ready.
After a delicious meal we gathered in the living room to sing carols around the Christmas tree.
Finally we ended the evening by exchanging gifts. Another wonderful Christmas....
I must say the highlight of this Christmas was not the family, or the food, or the carol singing or even the presents!! The highlight for me this year was.....well, why dont I just show you, rather than explain it.....
Today we held our own Christmas. The kids slept to 10am!! (sometimes there is benefits in having big kids! haha) Then it was up to open our presents. The kids were delighted with all they got. The highlight being a Wii machine that we all got from Grandad! - many games of tennis have been played today! Its been a lovely relaxing day!
