Christmas

Hi everyone

Hope you had a great Christmas!  Skype didn't work so well but I worked out why the microphone wasn't working - it was on mute ;) 

We had a lovely Christmas, stayed in Romsey which was perfect.  We went out for dinner on Christmas Eve and met up with some friends at the pub, chilly walk home!  We went to see Solomon on Christmas morning, he was all excitable which was sweet.  We had an enormous dinner in our lovely house and seemed to eat anough for about 6.  Teresa bought Solomon round here on Boxing Day morning so wehad a couple of days of Christmas with him.   

Thanks for all the lovely pressies - we got gorgeous Georg Jenson candle sticks from Dan & Dee, the salad servers were perfect mum, and Bernie & camilla's table mats are great - there really isn't much variety over here for entertaining stuff.  Solomon loved the Ben 10 stuff from mum & dad - you obviously know what the kids are into, the Omnitrix was the favourite of all his Christmas presents ;) The Solomon pencil case was brilliant, all his pencils got moved into "his" case straight away.

 We were going to go to Cardiff to meet up with a friend for a couple of days after Christmas but it was really icy and I'd fallen down the stairs (stone cold sober!) and just wanted to wallow at home for a while ;)  So we had a couple of days at home doing not much at all and then Drew (Andy's dad) came down and Solomon stayed with us too for the week.  They make me laugh, neither of them can fully understand what the other is saying (Scottish accent vs 4 yr old talk) but they have a great time anyway. 

We're back at work, which is rubbish - early starts and it is soooo cold.  It hasn't snowed here this week, but it's meant to be heavy snow tonight so hopefully we get snowed in!  But they always say that and it's just enough to be a pain but not enough to stop us getting to work.

Wedding plans are going pretty well - all the main things booked and things to buy pretty much sorted, plus we've booked some entertainment for the kids (anyone for getting their face painted?).  Hopefully it all comes together!  We'll be back at Easter for 2 weeks, and Solomon is coming too!

I put some photos of the house and a few other bits on the photo page, hopefully I've done it right this time.

love Claire & Andy
