our Christmas

We had a lovely Christmas, especially with Dad here.


Having got out of New York just before the blizzards hit them, we were also lucky here on our return on Dec 23rd.  It didn't snow much at all, but we had a lovely cover of snow everywhere.  A perfect white Christmas.

6:38 am

Lots under the tree and still dark outside!

Look what Nanna gave me!

Silas made us all crepes for brunch

and John made devils on horseback for pre-lunch!

Turkey with maple and bacon and Orange honey baked ham

"the head of the house carves the turkey masterfully..."

You just have to wear everything you get for Christmas on the day

after lunch a spot of tobogganing outside

Then a walk to our park for more fun

including a skate on a frozen pond

I hope you all had a Happy Christmas too.
