Christmas Day and New Years!

Sorry this is sort of after the event, but i
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

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

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

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
Its quite funny that you should be one of 7 and i have 7 too :-)
What is the age range?
