Christmas 2016

Our first Christmas without my dad, and he was missed a lot, but we still managed to have a lovely time, especially Hannah who was thrilled with her gifts this year. My mum, my sister and her partner came to us for Christmas day, and Dean cooked a lovely Christmas lunch followed by a nice afternoon all together.

Hannah and Dean baked cookies on Christmas eve, and Hannah made a special one for Santa which she left out for him,

We put the family presents around the tree on Christmas eve and put the tree lights on, it looked so pretty!

On Christmas morning Hannah found two stockings and a pile of presents from Santa by the fire.

She had a very exciting morning opening all her gifts, which included a saddle, a historical American Girl doll (Maryellen) and a ticket to go to the ballet to see The Nutcracker.

Happy Hannah
