Poor little Poppy, at four months today, has a cold. This reminded me of my sadness when Sam first cut himself.
Our granddaughter spent much of the morning in her customary position on her Dad’s arm.
After lunch, she perked up and, clad in her Christmas fairy outfit made by Granny, showed determined concentration in opening her sack of presents. (The photo on the wall in the third picture below is of Flo, the first Christmas fairy dress girl.)
Some necessary assistance was rendered by her mother,
although two pairs of hands were insufficient for the task of unravelling the mobile.
Don’t miss the little pink wings on Poppy’s back.
We opened our main presents before dinner. Jackie was delighted with her Pauline King (the contented crafter) light catcher all the way from New Zealand.
Dinner was the full works: roast turkey, roast potatoes and parsnips, stuffing, sausages, bacon, mashed carrots and swede, Brussels sprouts with chestnuts and onions, bread sauce, and superb gravy; all followed by Christmas pudding. Red and white wines were drunk.
Happy Christmas to you all. I really must make one of those faory outfits for next year!
Thanks, Quercus. Same to you all.
Lovely family photos. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Merril
Wonderful photos. Happy Holidays.
Thank you, Elizabet
Oh! What a lovely little Poppy, despite being sick for the festivities. I can see that is one well-loved child. And such a delight to find a light-catcher from Pauline!
Thank you, Crystal
I read “First Christmas Gold” instead of Cold and I looked at that photo of Father and Child and thought, yes, that is Gold 🙂 hahahahah
Thank you, Mary
… and a good time was had by all! One would expect no less in your household!
Thanks, GP
Sooo cute! I love the shot of her sleeping. <3 Just precious. Hope she feels better soon!
Thank you, Julie
The little fairy princess really stole the show! I love her outfit made by Granny, pink wings included. ♡ Her photo with her Daddy was adorable, too. Thank you for sharing all elements of your special Christmas, Derrick.
Many thanks, Robin
Such favor as this she may never find again! But, then, with her grandparents around and doting (and such caring parents, that may not be strictly true!
Thank you, Cynthia
Wonderful memories.
Thank you very much, Rupali
