Christmas at Home 2014

It was a fine Christmas at home this year. Hannah and Charles were sick in the days leading up to Christmas, but thankfully everyone was pretty much OK by Christmas day. See the photos below for highlights.

The tree at dawn on Christmas morn

Presents round the tree

Sophie organized them in piles by person

The leftovers from the snack we almost forgot to set out

The stockings (and a silly man, to boot)

Snuggling with her new blanket while waiting to open stockings

Santa must like pink

Christmas breakfast: homemade cinnamon buns and bacon

This guy liked it

Her? Not so much.

Mmmm, bacon...

Now we're ready to open the gifts under the tree

Black ankle socks for work

Showing off her Harry Potter textbooks ...

... and telling us all about them too!

Sophie and I matched in red

Opening a tiny gift

Going on a scavenger hunt ...

... to the kitchen drawer ...

... to the candy dish in the dining room ...

... and finally to the garage.

The aftermath

More mess

A sweet card from Sophie

Getting the fish tank ready

Putting together the telescope

A couple of builders

Magic kit in hand, ready to deliver cinnamon buns next door

Spying on the neighbors

Looking for the moon

Beautiful twilight sky
