Merry Christmas everyone!!!

So we have had a busy few weeks with Christmas work parties, finishing school for the hols, our Christmas day in Derbyshire and spending the real Christmas in Guernsey. It has been lovely and relaxing, and so good we still have a few more days with Tim off work to chill out in our house over New Year!

So here are some of my photos, I took a lot of silly ones which I can't be bothered to resize and upload as it takes too long (and they aren't that good ones anyway, I've picked the best!)

Above is Mum and Sam on Christmas eve, was a glorious sunny day we walked to the bridge and had a pint (well I had appletize), shopped a bit then walked home over the Vale Castle.

Below Grandma and Grandad
Here is Ethan being shy, the shyness didn't last long on Christmas day!
My cousin Bev and I, she is giving me lots of tips on pregnancy and hopefully more tips on how to look after a baby when it arrives!!!
We spent the Tuesday night before Christmas with our friend Kath, Jason and Katie. Below Kath and Jason who are all ready now to get hitched in a few weeks time!!! I can't wait!!!

Our dining room table before our wonderful Christmas dinner, we spent the Saturday before Christmas having our own little Christmas day (seeing we couldn't carry our stockings to Guernsey). We had a yummy breakfast, spent the day at Chatsworth walking round the house and eating scones with jam and clotted cream and a pot of tea! Then home to open our stockings and eat a delicious roast dinner! BLISS!
Our boys had a wonderful day too opening thier stockings of cat nip bites and balls! We just picked them up today and they were much better behaved this time round thank goodness!

Mr and Mrs Smith, aren't we stunning!!!
Two beautiful horses came past pulling a carriage, very Christmassy!

Chatsworth had a big table all decorated beautifully in Christmas crockery and cutlery, one day tim and I will own a house like that and a table like this one....! hmmm... maybe not.
There were these huge wreaths every so often hanging on doorways and from the ceiling, not quite up to Judith's standards though we didn't think!
Well we had a fantastic Christmas. chat again soon, hugs, Gemma xxx
