Tubing

Great fun at the Dry Ski Slope.

Christmas

No-one remembered a camera on Christmas day so we have no photos of the excellent meal at D&S, and the fun playing 'Chalenj' afterwards. Much embarrassment for M having to hop around on one foot singing 'I'm a little teapot' whilst trying to throw discs onto a target mat. It was a great day for all, well done D&S!

The only photos we have are a few quick snaps in all the excitement opening up the presents from Santa.

Granny's 60th

Granny twigged early that it wasn't a kettle and toaster she was getting, and proceeded to open box after smaller box until she unwrapped the Nintendo DS, with Brain Training game.

It was a great evening, and some happy memories for Granny, especially the canvas of the kids that M photographed.

Whoops a Daisy Angel

It was the Primary School Juniors this time with their Christmas Concert, which was centered around a clumsy angel. It was mostly a primary two play, so J, being in primary three, got off lightly with only a singing part in the Choir.

Christmas Party

The Christmas Party was held in Codonas again this year. A trip round Santas Grotto, XD Simulator ride, unlimited arcade games (Brilliant!), Dodgems, Bowling, something to eat and a present from Santa. B got a Digital Camera and J got a planetarium projector, along with a teddy and a selection box each.

Tales Fae A' Pairts'

Primary School seniors held a concert to introduce the Year of the Homecoming. It had everything from Penny Whistles to Geordies Mingin' Medicine, narrated as a tour of Scotland. Excellent concert, made you proud to be a Scot.

Christening

A' was on good form yesterday and very well behaved, not a sound during the whole ceremony, loving all the attention. A very proud day for Mum and Dad.

Nibbles

Welcome to our new addition to the family, Nibbles. B wanted a hamster for her 10th birthday, so here she is.

Please note that above picture is a clipart of what she looks like and not an actual photo, she has taken to hiding in the snug and shaking nervously beside a stash of food. I am too scared to take an actual photo for fear I will stun her with the flash and cause cardiac arrest, an incident that may lead to much expense in child psychology sessions and father-daughter counselling.

I'm sure she will relax soon and explore the rest of her pad.

Halloween

Port Aventura

Best Holiday ever.

Jurassic Park

Goodbye Casper

We had to say goodbye to Casper today, after he caught a really bad lung infection. All we have left now are our memories.
