Happy new year...

to everyone. Hope you are still making the most of your Christmas holidays, we're still working our way through a mountain of food we stocked up on!!

We're off to our traditional New Years Eve Indian meal, down the road, then all round to Nathan and Clare's new house (which they just moved into a week before christmas in the snow, but luckily it was just across the road, so Nathan and I now live on the same side of the road!) to see in the new year.

We have to show a picture of the tree - the 7ft tree! When we unwrapped it, it filled the whole of the front room! Here it is even after chopping half of it off! I don't think we'll be sending Chloe to pick out another one again, I feel sorry for Chloe's boyfriend who managed to bring it home on his back whilst dad was walking behind watching! Plus the unlucky one who gets that end of the sofa can't see anything : )



Here's Maisie with a few of her new presents - she got so many she even started to get bored unwrapping them all so we saved some for boxing day and here she is with her new favourite hobby, painting...... she's doing so many we're thinking of selling them......
