Christmas 2013

We had a quiet Christmas (forced on us slightly, as poor Amy had her gall bladder removed on 19th of December) but enjoyed it nonetheless, in the company of Amy's parents, Ivor and Wendy.

The kids loved opening their presents. Prior to Christmas Audrey had presented us with a long list of gift requests which included an ipad, but fortunately the horseriding Barbie seemed to fit the bill just as well. Eli got a load of Lego including a batman plane which we enjoyed building together. Both of them got presents from around the globe (particularly the UK of course which was so kind).

Even though I've lived here 5 years now a hot Christmas is still a novelty compared to the wet/cold ones in the UK. The kids obviously know no different - one day we'll have to take them to the UK over Christmas so they can trudge round in the rain and see the pre-Christmas sales while listening to Paul McCartney and Wings bashing out another rendition of 'Hope you're having a Wonderful Christmas Time!' and experience what a "traditional" Christmas should really be like.

Here's some pictures
