And so it is over for another year.

Christmas is over as soon as it has begun but what a wonderful Christmas it was!

On Christmas Eve we had friends around for a champagne brunch which was lovely. We then walked to the crib service at our village church.

Before bed we read this year’s favourite festive story, Father Christmas Needs A Wee!

David and I spent the evening finishing the wrapping and making some toys.

Esther and William are still too young to really understand what is going on.

They do know who Father Christmas is and they get excited when they see him but they do not really understand the magic.

I think that next year it will begin for us.

The anticipation and excitement of Christmas Eve.

This year it was all about Christmas morning and their excited faces and wriggling bodies when they realised that all of the presents, as far as the eye could see, were for them.

Presents they understand and they have had some beautiful ones.

What has gladdened my heart most this Christmas though is that though Esther and William have loved their presents what they have enjoyed most of all is spending time with their cousins and family at Granny and Grandad’s house.

We have simply had the most wonderful Christmas time.

I hope that you have too x
