Our Christmas


So did you all have a great Christmas?  Ours was lovely.  We spread it out over 3 days to ensure that we saw everyone.  We collected Saskia from the station on Christmas Eve and went over to Coralie's as we were not going to be seeing them on the big day.

Christmas day was lovely as it was just the 3 of us to start out,  Saskia was up first to make the coffee and then she had a stocking of presents in our bedroom.  She had gifts for us too.  We were doing a secret Santa thingumy this year so she wasn't supposed to have anything for us.

We went to Sam and Lisa's house for dinner.  It was the very first time in the whole of our married life that we have not cooked Christmas dinner!  It was lovely!  Everyone then went to Coralie's but we went home to be with Loulou.  It was quite hard not having Alfie with us. We miss him so much. It was nice to have the evening just the 2 of us.

Boxing day was a lovely slow start again with just the 2 of us.  Verity and Steve arrived with Jackson just after lunch and everyone else came shortly after.  We had more presents and a great time, finishing up with a buffet.

The following day we hit Kiddicare for pram shopping.  It took some time time to find the right one and we actually ended up buying a Mothercare one. Saskia is thrilled with it which is the main thing.

I thought you might like to see some photos.

 
   
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 So that was our Christmas in a brief nut shell.  Saskia went home on Saturday and we are now alone again.  Only 360 days until we do it all again!!

  1. I've always loved these blogs of your's that share a bit of what is happening with you and your family. The children are all growing up so fast! It looks as if you all are having a great time.

    Where on earth did they find that saw?

    Happy New Year, Jilly, to you and Simon. I hope it brings good things to you all.

  2. What wonderful pictures Jilly - it certainly does look as if you all had a grand time together - I'd have been run ragged with all those around me. I spent Christmas Day with my daughter Mandi and then on Boxing Day, my son, Tony, came up with his fiancee Stevie, so we had two days celebrating too. I hope you have a fantastic 2014. Regards to Simon and the rest of your family. x
