Joshua was so excited about Christmas Day. He couldn't open his gifts quick enough!


Christmas Eve

A feast fit for a King!


Zara was a bit unsure of the sparklers at first....thanks to Granny for the treat!

Do you like the fire coming out of Joshua's head :)


We enjoyed a busy time over the Festive period. We had 14 people celebrating with us on Christmas day but only 10 for the dinner. What a feast we had. We also ate outside on the verandah which was great. We have been in Uganda 7 years now which we can hardly believe so we are getting used to the warm Christmases. Thanks to all of you for the gifts that you sent us. I know some of you have sent us packages but we are yet to receive them. Hopefully the issues with the postal service will be sorted out soon.
We enjoyed a special Christmas Eve service at Church remembering the real reason we celebrate Christmas. This was the first time that we took Joshua and Zara and they thought it was such a treat being out so late at night. Zara loved the music and was dancing away until she got a bit too carried away and Simon had to stand at the back with her.
Above are some hightlights from our time over the Christmas holidays. They are not in any specific order and I apologise for the dark New Year photographs. The flash on our camera seems to have died. I guess we were too late to ask Santa for a new camera :( Anyway we are grateful for the time that we had with my Mum and so many friends. Now we are trying to get back into work mode. Easier said than done :)
