It's not over yet - is it?

Highlights of the season so far:
Christmas Eve - the visit of the Youth Fellowship, resplendent in fancy dress as kids TV characters, singing (!) carols outside our house ( we weren't going to let them in - not in the mood they were all in!)
Christmas Day - well prezzies of course. Elyse thought she might start extra early and came in at 4 am saying she was cold ( this has never happened before!) I persuaded her to go back to sleep, but at 5:30am she returned and began discussing her strategy for the Grand Opening, which began something like,
'well I should really go first as I was up first, but should it then go in age or height order, mum......mum........ mum, wake up, what do you think?'

It seemed like HOURS later that we were at Church ( That's The Salvation Army, if you're reading this mum - see a blog in the future re this) and our ministers ( officers) did a really great Christmas Day service ( meeting)
What was extra lovely was having the time at the end of the service to chat with some people over a coffee and a(nother) mince pie.

In the afternoon, we went to visit, well I say visit, they are only up the road really, my brother, sisiter in law and niece ( SO CUTE) and my mum and dad were there too, so that was.....well, lovely!

Boxing Day - went to visit Keith's sister and family + his mum and dad. We got there using MY SAT NAV ( He's called James, as in 'Home James etc' and is very charming)They live in Enfield, so it was worth turning it on and Keith drove, so I could play with all the buttons.

Phew, surely that's enough I hear you say.....hello, anyone there?

Weds saw the return visit of my bro and co to our house and Keith tricked us all into watching the DARTs, which according to Sarah IS a Sport.

Thurs - we chilled in the morning then had more visitors this arvo ( Ann and Richard Borrett, Hannah and Ed and Ann's mum and dad)So we chatted and the kids played then we cooked a monster chilli, bits and bobs for the kids and far to many desserts, but hey, it's still Christmas, isn't it?

So, we're having a cool, if VERY fattening time and it doesn't stop here - fill you in later!
