Favorite Christmas photo for me so far

Robert {L} reading his nephew Henry a story,

Sam {R} showing his niece Poppy how to use a phone.

Makes a mum feel very proud of her two boys and at how far they have both come.
Both wonderful dads, caring brothers, and loving uncles.

Henry making a Christmas Wish

Parcel from Gran

Toby put a request in for a photo of he and Duncan building with Lego. "And Gran, could you send me a Star Wars Lego light saver? And Gran could Duncan make me some Lego?"

How could we resist such a request.

So here are photos of Toby opening his parcel. Of course there are some pretty dresses for Poppy, our sweet pea.
