Had a great Christmas. I really love this time of year. Despite the fact that Dave and Stace are living in Canada and Rick and Katie were visiting friends in New York this year, we had another great Christmas.

The church was packed for the Carol Service on Sunday. Here's the Nativity group from the "Tinies" who took part in the early bit of the Service.

Then about 40 of the YF came up to our house afterwards for snacks and games. Played "Empires" and "The Steeplechase Game"

On Christmas morning opened our presents and had church and then Freddie and Linda and the Family came for lunch on Christmas Day.

Dave & Stacey Skyped us from Canada and Rick rang us from New York.

Here's a picture of Caleb playing with one of his toys on Christmas morning in Canada.

Boxing day was the

traditional Boxing day football match, "Youngun's v the Oldun's.Another travesty of "The Beautiful Game" ! And the Oldun's were hammered again.
