Well … that was Christmas!

At times like this it is gret being a dad of young children. I’ve relived my child hood throuh space invaders and pacman on a TV console. Raced Joe around a scalexctric track and beaten Tom at pool.

We had a fantastic time at Sarah’s parents with the family all enjoying each others company. Grandparents, great grandparents and cousins and uncles were all present. We all get on so well, and the age span of the group is quite massive.

The children particularly love having uncles and aunts and grandparents around. Why do children love their grandparents so much?

On a sad note, this year I decided to annoy people by taking lots of photographs. I suddenly struck me that with very aging and frail great grandparents that this could easily be the last time we all see Christmas together. I hope not; but it will be nic to have the memento anyway.

Right now I feel incredibly blessed and thankful to God that I can enjoy times like these with those I love around me.
