Well, what a month it has been! It seems to have taken forever to get to the bottom of it and yet, at the same time, it seems to have flown past!
As we all know, it started with Kezia's christening - the only child I know who was christened holding her sparkly slipper! It was a lovely day and we had about 40 people in total attend - so our lil house was pretty chocca!
Kezia was so very lucky and received many wonderful presents. Thank you letters are all on their way ...

We also had nana a
nd grandpa's 90th birthday celebrations this month. And it was really lovely to have a reunion with the Gill and Hall factions of the family. They are such a cool and dignified group of people - as was evidenced by the photo that pops managed to get at the end of the day of two of his cousins asleep on the sofa with their little mouths wide open and snoring gently. How very ladylike! chuckle.

We all had a lovely meal in a local hotel and Kezia wore her best party
dress and Christmas party hat - and when the crackers were pulled she was adorned with the hairclip that came in her cracker (although truth be told, I'm not too sure she was that impressed!)The next adventure to launch itself at us was loads and loads of snow! It was a Sunday, so Ch

ance was at home and we rushed Kezia outside to give her the opportunity to meet her first snowflakes. As per usual for our gal she revelled in the moment and just seemed to enjoy the time with her parents acting like idiots and squealing!
to do our shopping. I had the bright idea the Wednesday before Christmas (day before Christmas eve) that I should go and visit the old folk in woburn sands and newport pagnell, so merrily got the car out of it's snowed in position 
on Church Avenue and felt rather proud of myself, especially as I am known for being particularly rubbish at driving in snow! But, my confidence peeked too soon and I was soon completely stuck on solid street ice at the bottom end of Church Avenue. No rocking or anything could get the car off of the ice and even resorting to using a small improvised shovel to chip the ice away from under and from behind the wheels still didn't allow me to move. So I had to phone mamma and pops to come and help me push it out! Talk about a drama! chuckle. Still, I got there in the end and decided to visit just the relatives who live in Woburn Sands - A good choice as it turned out because it started snowing again before I left at 5pmSo there you go - a brief run down of our December in the lead up to Christmas ...
