Philip's Dream Team

Christmas is always a time of great celebration in our family… which is why Carol always moans if she’s NOT home for Christmas. However…she made sure that we remember her by sending these beautiful flowers for mom and dad.


Christmas came really “late” this year. Nobody was allowed to open the presents until Alie came back. It tested Jordan’s patience to the limit. Many days after Christmas the presents sat quietly under the tree….. wondering why they were not opened !!!!

Finally on the very last day of Dec… when our patience were stretched to breaking point we opened the presents. There were squeals of delight n plenty of laughter. Our family were truly overwhelmed with the many wonderful gifts we received from family n friends.

I got a pair of sneakers from my darling husband. I think he is trying to tell me that I can start walking to work in 2011 !!! :- D. Imagine…. we have been married 16 yrs and he bought me a size 7 . I am wearing size 4 only. Ha ha!!!!

Christmas activities kept us all very busy. Hubby and Heather were invited to sing a duet in the Christmas cantata. Hubby felt odd singing as he says he is more a musician than a singer but he kindly obliged.
Jordan on the other hand became a Magi in the Christmas drama. He was very shy about acting on stage and he was relief when it was all over. I managed to take a shot of the Magi while he was in the hallway of the church.

Over the month of Dec, we attended many lunches and dinners with family and friends. We had ALL kinds of food. It was such a feast and thankfully I can still wear my pants. (If not … I should seriously contemplate on walking to work).
Cousin Annabelle took some lovely family photos during our family gathering. We had great laughs that nite watching the young and older elves performed. To see the awesome performance you need to ask hubby’s permission. :- )
