In fairness, I'm not sure if you took a look at the drive next to us, he's quite the same.
First stop, Lingwood.
Someone might have been growing.
Not sure if Santa still shows up for tall, grunge teenagers, but just in case...
Well, it turns out he does. Even brought a none-more-black stocking.
And nothing has changed with a massive pile of presents and torn wrapping paper all over the floor.
Custom wrapping paper, might I add.
Nanny Rachel joined us.
Then we went on our traditional Christmas Day walk. Possibly the coldest one in living memory.
Lily went to see the ducks.
Ready for a great Boxing Day turkey and chips buffet.
We were so glad to be able to see everyone (there was lots of flow testing). Then we headed home to rest up for a few days before getting ready for New Year. With more chips.
Lily watched Little Women and did this quick drawing in her journal.
On New Year's Eve we stayed in with a fire, games, a Brussel Sprout puzzle and a seven course banquet of miniature dishes.
Happy New Year. Looking back, we made the very best of 2021 and enjoyed being together at home. Let's see what 2022 brings.
Then set about decorating the scrathplate on her bass, ready for band practice.
There were mini prawn cocktails, fish and chips, bite sized hot dogs and even tiny beef Wellingtons.
Then 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... it was 2022.
