This little chap was thrilled to see his Godmother from Australia. He last saw her when he was two so it's been a while! He made her an awesome egg box/tissue paper creation and wrapped it up in time for a family gathering.
The Boy's Aussie Godmother /Mummy's dear cousin and Panda Girl.
Hanging out with my niece.
And my husband.
Here's the matriarch, Nanny M...
...and here are all her grandchildren!
We also drank mulled wine/discussed apps with good friends...
...and visited Wrest Park for an audience with Father Christmas.
This is the Christmas Tree that the family used in 1856 at Wrest Park, until it became too big to bring inside! It is now 100 feet tall!
Arboreal chilling.
The local annual Candle-Lit Christmas Carol Service ended in a hot chocolate in the pub with friends.
Followed closely by a day with friends, cooking, colouring and dancing.
Papa is home for Christmas!
And this Monkey Girl is very, very excited!
