... apart from the memories (the bills, the weight gain, a glimmer of snow and that tiny bit of tinsel lurking way under the sofa.)
I have oft said that I try not to let blogging get in the way of life. Time with the family is never compromised by sitting writing a post about what we are doing. We blog about our family life. We don't live to blog after all.
Instead, I prefer to enjoys the moments, albeit often with a camera by my side.
Christmas was no different. It is now mid-January and I have only just found a moment to write about our festive season.
Is it too late? Do you still want to see the pictures? Do you care if we had turkey and pigs in blankets and homemade chocolate ice-cream? The sensory overload that caused a Natty meltdown is long forgotten. So, I'll keep it brief. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
I hope you all had a happy and healthy Christmas too, and made yourselves a tonne of memories. That's what it's all about after all...

I adore her Xmas jumper! Certainly looks as though a good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteSeems so long ago now though doesn't it? Jumper was a good old hand-me-down x
DeleteAmazing photos - you clearly had a ball! :))) x I am suffering from an extended waistband from festive feasting... need to somehow resist wine until February :/ (unfortunately I just typed that with a glass of Pinot Grigio in my hand...) #bugger lol x
ReplyDeleteWell at least you haven't signed up for Kateonthinice's Naked Mum blogging challenge. (Have you?) I have a Xgristmas spare tyre to shift and I've got to get naked!
DeleteThey look like some amazing hugs - I especially like the one in the opening the presents section :O)
