Christmas 2012


I won't write too much about Christmas, other than to say Jordan and his friend Brendan who has also been staying with us for the past few weeks, were booked to fly from Orlando to Salt Lake City at 3.20pm on Christmas day. They missed their flight, so we had 2 return trips to the airport that afternoon and eventually got them on a flight at 6am the following day. Christmas didn't go exactly as planned but as Dad reminded me, that is kind of expected in our family! If only I could micro manage everyone's schedules it would all be fine.

'Twas the night before Christmas and the calm before the chaos



I had fun making reindeer chocolate pops...although I'm not sure the effort for  reaction ratio was  quite right. I liked them!

Jordan and I before I knew I had to go all the way home and back again!
Earlier that morning, we had enjoyed a hearty Christmas breakfast and opened presents and stockings...There were lots of boys!!


7 x new pyjamas!!


Thanks to sweet Kate for the treats!




There's one in every family!
See! What's with the faces??
We had to eat cafe style as we don't have a big enough table
We forgot to take pictures of the rest of the day...oops! Most of mine was spent driving!!

Welcome back, Liesa, and a very Happy New Year to you and your boys! Looks as though you've had a very busy time lately so hope you can relax a little now. Glad you're all getting settled in the States. How long are you there for? xx

Yay! Checked "just in case" so was chuffed to find you have blogged again. What a busy time! I can understand you wanting a little more time just with family. Looking forward to reading more of what you are all doing.
