The next Max Boyce?

And we were singing, Hymns and arias...

 

Lego-boy

Somebody is very, very, very pleased with all of the Lego presents that he had for Christmas!

 

All Christmased out

Too many days of constant partying can quickly tire out a five-year old and a two-year old!

 

Waste not, want not...

There's only one thing better than Christmas presents - the boxes that the presents come in! Thomas & Will jumped into a perfectly sized box for some adventures.

 

And were in fits of laughter whenever it fell over!

 

Christmas tea

The food just didn't stop coming! It was back to our house for Christmas tea with Granny and Grandad!

 

Musical entertainment provided by Hannah 'One Girl Band' Hurley!

 

Christmas dinner

Even being 8 months pregnant did not get Auntie Jan out of her turn for cooking Christmas dinner this year! And she did a very good job of it (with the help of Uncle Mike!)

 

 

 

Judging by the face he's making, though, Will may have eaten too many sprouts...

 

Christmas presents

Even though Hannah, Thomas & Will have been in trouble almost every day this year, Father Christmas still was kind enough to visit our house last night!

Thomas was chuffed to bits with his new Star Wars Lego X-Wing Fighter (and Daddy is quite excited, too!)

 

Hannah is planning to build a lamp from her Magnext kit, to allow her to read in bed.

 

And Will is going to help Bob the Builder fix it wherenever he possibly can...

 

Losing our marbles

Can't remember who gave us this marble run when Hannah was little, but it's seen a huge amount of use as each of the children has grown up. It's Will's turn now to ask for it at every opportunity, and then to proceed to scatter marbles in every possible direction around the house.

 

Christmas cake

Time to make the Christmas cake again. Bring on the child labour...
