First christmas at home


Due to the imminent arrival of our new little babe (due date 25th December), we thought it unwise to make the usual trip to one or the other grandparents houses for Christmas. For the first time, we spent Christmas day in our own home. Although we missed everyone, it was quite nice to put out the stockings on our own fireplace, wake up in our own beds and make our very own Christmas dinner (and no smell of roast turkey!).

We didn't miss out though as we Skyped everyone we know and then on Boxing Day (as babe had still not put in an appearance) EVERYONE descended on us! It was quite a squish in our little house and as this wasn't a planned event, we didn't have much food in to cater for so many visitors. However, Daddy some how managed to pull off quite a good 'everything in the fridge' veggie curry and all were fed and watered - sitting, standing, kneeling - with a mish-mash of odd plates, cutlery, glasses and mugs. A noisy but nice day.
