There are consequences that come with having a big sister...

My new trick to get out of finishing my dinner!

N. Ireland

After a long journey we made it to N. Ireland for Christmas.
Pretty cold there too!

Icicles aren't too common right by the sea

Sledging in Portrush

...and indoors for some warmer fun

Cousins in the flesh, not in a computer!!

Hoping the reindeer will see the dust...

...and that our cookies will be appreciated!

Yay!!!

It may take a while

'I love it the presents!!'

It's all a little stressful

and then it's the one size doesn't fit all hat inside

A game of ice hockey on Uncle Wesley's pond for the valiant.
Too cold for a walk on the beach.

An angel

First in the church event...

then at school too. It must be my behaviour record...

Snow Days

Never too cold for ice cream!

Designing our own Christmas trees. Oscar picked all the neutral colours...

One day it will be a nativity scene...

Delighted

Loving my hand-me down trousers...they're BLUE!!

On the airwaves

Tabitha was chosen to be interviewed for local radio. Here she is with a rather extravagant request for Christmas...

Fun in the snow

Lots of snow and a week off school for Tabitha

Stocking up with essential supplies...

Hot chocolate

I think I need to go back to school for a rest!!

Oscar

"One day Oscar was minding his own business when DADDY CAME and gave Oscar a new bum"
You can tell what happens when Daddy's around and it's change time...

Friends

I love being with people

Agnew security

Hmmm - what's his next move to be?

Oh, we didn't know there was an ipod about!!

Not quite Acapulco

Brisk walk if you don't want to become an iceberg!!

The Zoo

Oh that's better, a hint of animal activity

There they are!
And yes!! Nonnie and Papi were visiting and we were NOT happy to say goodbye
