Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!  For the first time in about 12 years, our whole family was together.  But this time, there were 3 new spouses and 13 new children, 7 of whom were preschoolers.  Also a dog.  So there was a fair bit of happy chaos. 
The weather was lovely. We organised a treasure hunt for the kids, which kept them busy for about half an hour. We put up our tent in the backyard for them to play in, and had a big lunch with plenty of leftovers.  But the best bit was getting to catch up with everyone; we hadn't seen some people for years, or in the case of the smallest nieces and nephews, ever. 





Hopefully we'll do it all again in a couple of years :)
