The car was packed and Lily conked out almost as soon as we set off.
First stop, Lingwood and Lily wishes Happy Christmas to Great Nanny Harvey.
There was just enough time to change and get her nails done...
...before all the guests arrived.
There was a good spread on the table and a couple of surprises under it.
Party time.
Lily gave an impromptu carol service.
In fact, she was up partying until midnight. Which is why she didn't get up until 8.30 on Christmas morning. Which was pretty much a lie in. Santa had indeed been and left a huge sack of presents.
Which Lily tore into.
Still they came.
Just as an aside, Mummy and Lily had made a special stocking for Lily's cousin.
Unbeknownst to Lily, Mummy and Daddy had made a special stocking for her too.
And as a final surprise, Mummy and Lily had made a special stocking for Daddy.
After opening umpty thrumpty presents, Lily dressed up for the day ahead.
Then it was off to see Grandad Benny.
There was a new reindeer in Sheringham.
And Christmas dinner came in the form of a smiley face.
MORE presents.
From Sheringham to Hainford.
Lily wrapped herself up...
...and got in a stocking.
The stocking's alive.
Here's Lily blowing off.
Then on the way home, we dropped in on Jackie, David, Steve and Elaine. And had a random encounter with a hippo. Like you do.
Then it was back to Essex, to end as she began - conked out. Only with a lot more stuff.
