Christmas day was a wonderful time for us to be together! This year, it was just James, Jack and I. Nice and quiet. We had a our traditional christmas morning quiche(this changes every year depending on what we decide to put in it... this year it was just bacon, spinach and goat cheese) prosecco and pear juice and fresh fruit. Then we started opening gifts. All gifts were for Jack. James and I have decided not to exchange Christmas gifts as we never seem to get exactly what each other wants, and we don't want to get caught up in trying to find that 'perfect' gift for each other. If we get anything, its usually something silly. This year - I got James a magic 8 ball to sit on his desk at work - for advice on his new job ;)
Here are some pictures!

Pretty Christmas pics! That's the same play kitchen we have! How did James do with putting it together? Arron was about ready to throw it out in the front yard.
