Fforest Fawr
But you should have seen Will's face when he realised that we weren't actually going into Castle Coch!
Will: "But you can do colouring!"
Oh, I can't believe I missed out on the colouring!

Shock horror - blog updates!
That way, you'll be able to see how tall we've all grown, and how much balder some of us are...

DIY proof!
For 6 years now, since our house extension was built, we've been meaning to place laminate flooring in the cupboard under our stairs. And, finally, we've had the chance and the willingness to get around to it!
Since it is in the cupboard under the stairs, and very few people will ever actually see the craftmanship, here is photographic proof that it actually happened...!

Garden intruder
We had a night time visitor this evening, in the shape of this prickly hedgehog.
Hopefully it'll do a great job of removing some of the slugs that seem to enjoy our garden so much!

Good to see Will giving his big brother advice on which piece to move next!

Boys and their toys
We're huge Lego fans in the Hurley House, but all of our Lego has got so mixed up over the years that it's really difficult to build any of the original models that we'd bought. So, we decided to make good use of our Christmas holiday, and try to build as many of the models as we possibly could.
We started, in a very organised way, by sorting all of the Lego bricks by colour. The idea was that it would help us track down the pieces that we were looking for.
Well, the idea was there...

Snow fear!
We headed out to the 'slopes' with our sledges and surfboards(no, really!) to prove that a bit of white, fluffy snow wouldn't scare us!
Unfortunately, we spent most of our time lying in the snow, rather than flying over the top of it!

Christmas presents
After the delicious dinner, it was off to Grandma & Grandad's house for a delicious tea, and to open even more presents.
Clearly, the biggest plus to having children is the fact that they get some cool presents for Christmas, and parents get to play with them!
Christmas dinner
After a fairly reasonably-timed start to Christmas day (well done kids!), we broke open some presents, then headed to church, and after that it was time for a delicious dinner at Nanny & Grumpy's house, with Auntie Jan, Uncle Mike, James, Bethan & Rebekah.
Nanny has had lots of practise at cooking for so many people, and served up some fantastic food.
The only problem is, it's our turn next year! Gulp!
