Christmas Day

Rudolf got left behind!

Amy really enjoyed Christmas more than we expected.  She quickly got the hang of ripping the presents open and eating the paper (though this was expected), and she was really intrigued by all the new things that she had to play with throughout the day.

 

Amy got the biggest present.  She was pleased about that if you can't tell.

 

After all the presents were opened, Amy had a nap and we headed out for a walk in the snow.  It was really precarious ice in Thurlby, but it was gorgeous sunshine.  I got to play with my new old camera that I had bought with my birthday money.

 

 

Then it was back for a yummy Christmas dinner.  Rebecca cooked the Turkey and made sauces.  It was all gorgeous.  Amy joined in with the three course meal, sitting in her brilliant red high chair and especially enjoyed the chocolate pudding and cream.

 

 

After dinner had settled we went to Ramsey for present opening round 2.  Dan trumped Amy for the biggest present as he got a huge anatomy book - its a reprint from the nineteenth century and has some amazing pictures.  Dan particularly likes the illustrations of surgical procedures, especially the gorier ones!

We had a lovely evening and stayed late chatting with Helen and Scott, before driving back to Thurlby.  A lovely day.
