just don't seem to get the time any more!
We had a great Christmas :-)
I was quite organised this year even allowing
time to make a festive jumper for my
daughter and do loads of baking, gingerbread,
cookies ect.
Christmas Eve, and the table all set ready for
the next day

The presents laid out under the tree

Dinner was lovely, it was a joint effort between Andy and myself :-)

A lovely day surrounded with my family :-)
We then went away for a few days to Pontins, a family resort, where
there are loads of activities laid on for the children during
the day, competitions, character appearances ect as well as a
indoor pool and soft play areas. Then on the night it was more
fun for the kids and live bands for the adults. It was nice to
get away for a while.
All ready for the nights entertainment

The girls with Postman Pat

The 'Blue coats' (entertainment staff) teaching a dance

Then it was back to reality and a New Years party to organise.
It was only family, but by the time you include all the girl
friends/boy friends, its quite a crowd lol
The spread

The chocolate machine and all the goodies to dip in to it yummmmmm

The bubbly ready for midnight

A bit of karaoke

Beautiful table settings, and fun food! Your Christmas tree present mound, reminds me of our days growing up with 7 sibblings. LOL. Looks like everyone had a terrific time!

I'm always frightened i havent got them enough but i underestimate my kids every time, they get half way through and declare 'Mum's gone mad buying again!!' and what they already have is enough. Now i just need to come back and read this next year lol
