Christmas Eve

It's been very warm again today - so warm that Craig wore shorts & t-shirt! Looks like snow might come along on Boxing Day though.

We did some last minute shopping today - Craig wanted brussel sprouts (yuck) and we tried to find a Birds Trifle mix but no joy. We bought all the ingredients though so we are making our own trifle and hoping it tastes okay. We also have a 12-pound turkey so will be eating turkey sandwiches and having turkey curry till March.

We had a lovely phone call off Dennis tonight - we do miss him. We'll probably spend 5 hours on the phone tomorrow ringing friends & family in England. I got horribly homesick today - the Pogues Christmas song came on the radio and it set me off. Strange what makes me homesick!

Jack has come along leaps & bounds, even today seems like! Everything goes in his mouth now (even his feet) so we have to be careful what he grabs. He's rolling all the time and it's impossible to change his nappy in less than 10 minutes. He's babbling & cooing a lot and smiles & laughs. He's also started dropping his toys all the time and loves to see us bend down to pick them up, little bugger.

We are excited about tomorrow - our first Christmas together! Santa'll have a job coming down our fireplace tonight though as we are lighting a fire. Our little lad will be oblivious this year anyway. Merry Christmas everyone!
