Christmas 2012

 

This Christmas the weather outside really was frightful. It rained and then it rained some more!  Although we did not have a winter wonderland the Pilgrim's all gathered at Granny and Grandpar's with plenty of Christmas spirit!

Olive was super excited to hang out with Granny and her cousins (or more importantly Charlotte!) and so let the cheeky antics commence...!

Mum and Dad decked out the house and laid on a fantastic spread. Everyone bought  presents and soon the tree was surrounded by a huge mass of gifts! Olive now 3 1/2 was super excited and you can see the enchantment of Christams is really starting to take hold and work its magic. 

Even the B-bot who was not feeling his best and spent most of the day drooling all over his neckerchief had himself a marvelous time bopping around and opening his fist Christmas presents!

The family together eating and drinking too much, plenty of joy and merriment what else is Christmas about!...and yes, dad and mummy got themselves rather nice crimbo jumpers!

Happy Christmas!

Baxters 1st Birthday

Our little man has turned 1!  

His first year has passed literally in the blink of an eye -and we thought Olive was growing up fast -now, with  Number 2 alreay one and already walking it is impossible to describe how quickly time is passing and how much our little beauties have changed and grown.

Now, back to Baxter! All over to Granny and Grandpar's for a little family bash and as you can see we marked the big occasion with an appropriately big silver ballon of which Baxter almost immediately  got all tangled up with!

Naturally Mummy was on baking duty again and knocked up one of her lovely cakes and let the girls decorate if for Baxter for something to keep them entertained.  They expertly placed the sweeties in the icing and mummy added the final touches...

What a sweetie!

And then after cake it was present time which amounted to Baxter bouncing on top of his presents whilst the girls unwrapped everything as if the presents was theirs! Sorry B-bot better get used to it your outnumbered! Happy birthday my boy.
