The Whole Family Are Here

Helen, Andrew and Ethan arrived at 5:30. Another bout of present opening. After dinner Andrew and I watched the Arsenal and Chelsea match while the kids played and the women had a game of Cluedo.

Oh What A Lovely Hat

Great chocolate cake and later for dips with Derritos.

I woke this morning to rain on the dorma roof. By lunch time the snow had all but gone. It would be have been nice if  it had stayed  for Christmas Day. At least the kids with new bikes were out as I drove round to Katherine's.

Lunch was slightly late due to the turkey taking an extra 30 minutes to cook.

Now watching a dire Eastenders programme while we wait of  Erin and Rhys returning from their relatives in Prestwick. I might have room for a small turkey sandwich with my red wine!!!

Ethan is Here for a Few Days

Toys all over the floor. Followed by pizza two for one from Dominoes. Due to the bad weather no delivery!

Birthday Cake and candles -- Happy Birthday Rhys.

You may notice the cut above his left eye. A fall at the swimming baths on Monday meant a visit to A&E. Walking down the ramp at the entrance was not an option!

Erin and Rhys: A few photos today

I've not taken photos of the kids in a while. So here's a couple.
