Christmas day !

Ann ,Andrew and me !
We had a lovely family day yesterday- as you can see Jayne did us all proud and set the table ready for our arrival-The table looked lovely ! here we all are chatting and eating and enjoying each others company ! All the men got together to supervise the lighting of the Christmas pudding- John warmed the brandy first [apparently vodka is better-it burns for longer -we didn`t have any though hence the brandy!] the lights were dimmed but it kept going out before we managed to carry the pudding into the dinning room ![for all the ooohs and aaahs ]



It took several attempts and three men and a quarter bottle the brandy to get the thing alight ! It went up with a great whoosh nearly incinerating Andrews hand and eyebrows !
After dinner we swapped pressies-above is Andrews mother in law Pat -wearing one of hers !
This one might interest youTracey ! -Tim had a set of willy wigs
John made a friend ! Andrew and Jaynes cat ! He sat for ages like that ! hope you are all enjoying your Boxing day !
