Christmas Special

We always squash in a bit of Christmas cheer into the first two weeks of December (after Nicholas' birthday and before we migrate South).  2012 was no different (probably the reason why I didn't get to publish this post before we left)!

Putting up our decorations




Making a fire


Enjoying the Lego Advent Calendars

Puss-in-Boots Panto

Huskies at the Wetlands Centre



More fun at the Wetlands




Conversations with Santa




Christmas Party at Dad's Office
(literally a couple of hours before our departure)
 





Santa's letters to the boys
(from Uncle Pete's charity)


Nicholas' letter to Santa from School

Nicholas and Danny absolutely loved these!
