No kids at home on Christmas Day (they arrived at 6pm) so we had the traditional turkey with the Jordans.

Kids arrived back at 6pm on Chistmas Day and so they were able to do Santa's presents (and one from under the tree).

Present opening with the kids on Boxing Day.  I think everyone got what they wanted ...

New Years Eve at the Samios'.  We had the Jordan's as IKEA "Pujjilampen", the Simpson's as an open face sandwich (or a traditional British sandwich when they were put together), the King's as a viking horde and Francey as Agetha from ABBA (with Fleur doing an accidental Frida).

We arrived home from the SG&I Xmas party to see that Mike and Sharon Jordan had visited, and were trying to share the Christmas spirirt.

Francey knew she wated to be Agnetha from ABBA for the New Year's Eve party.  We started with a photo and a t-shirt from Walmart and took it from there.

We palyed Dirty Santa as part of the traditional Boxing Day's celebration at the Jordans.  Good time was had by all.

We bought these interesting photo frames at IKEA called photo drops with the result that we needed to fill them. Criteria was "recent" and "vertical" orientation. Theme was "black and white with a hint of color."
