2011 Christmas / New Year

This year, our Christmas / New Year divide up was like this...

Christmas we spent with Bryn's family / New Year we spent with my family. 

We have had a lovely time (as always, as all of our family rock..naturally!)
But, between Christmas Eve and New Years Day, we have spent 7 out of 9 days either travelling, living out of a suitcase, and all sleeping in the same room..all with varying repercussions! We seem to have got into the whole "alternate who you spend each Christmas and New Year with" scenario and although we have had a fantastic time...we are starting to realise that actually a change is needed.  But that probably deserves a post all of its own.

So anyway..for some reason, I don't seem to have taken any photos on Christmas Day or New Years eve, but I do have a load of Christmas themed photos taken in the run up etc, so here we go...


Seriously THE ONLY photo I got of the tree full length!  Will do better next year! And maybe next year we will get a better tree and forget to let the kids help decorate it.


Pictures of the christmas tree (taken the night we were going to pack it away - oops!),
meeting father christmas at the pre-school christmas fayre, opening one of the many advent calendars,

22nd DECEMBER 2011 - Family trip to Longleat Safari Park for a christmas treat





Meeting the big man himself (Lily refused to go any closer
and actually left the cabin until she realised there were presents!)



Lily still not impressed that we made her meet Santa!

Yep, you guessed it..still getting no love from that toddler!

Back on the train, waving bye to Santa (till next year!)
 And a couple of quick Safari pictures from the drive through enclosures!!
Driving through the monkey enclosure!

Literally just a car door separating me and this Tiger...wow!

All in all a lovely christmas and New Year and a fanastic run up to the festive season...really wish it lasted longer! xx
