And so, another year ends.

Happy new year! A few pics from the family album;




Christmas day was spent at my brother and sister-in-law's home - and featured a beautiful cake measured, mixed and wished upon by the l'il guy. (Wishes for a "real live dinosaur for Christmas" didn't quite materialise... wishes are a bit hit and miss these days.)



The cold polar bear (does such a thing exist?) looked great with his stripey blue scarf...



...though one blink later and a small person had nibbled all the bears snowballs.... and head!



The day after boxing day and we returned to the family get-together for lunch at a local restaurant then a toddle over to the beach to work up the appetite for deserts. Two small people who idolise another bigger cousin...


... and a lot of spinning and stone flinging into the waves, and everyone's happy.


I love the reflections on the damp sand.
