Christmas Joy 2004

This year was much more exciting for us all, now that Emily is able to interact and understand more things. She must've been a very good girl because Santa had left lots of presents for her under the tree and in her stocking! It was so nice getting her to help open the presents and see her face when she discovered an exciting new toy and she even squealed with delight at the sheer excitement of it all. Although she did seem to prefer to climb in the cardboard boxes and was just as content sitting quietly in her cosy new chair!

We went to Granny and Granda's for Emily's first proper Christmas dinner, where she sat on her booster seat at the table and ate turkey and lovely ice-cream and trifle! Considering this is still only the start we will probably have to start saving to buy a storage facility to house all of her millions of toys, teddies and books!

We had a great time! And we had a white Christmas! Here are some photos of the fun and other pictures from December visits. We will have a lot more once we get the old-fashioned film developed!
