One for the album

Blurry, not quite in focus, partially obscured by other children... but glad I just about caught the big brotherly arm around the shoulders as they sat patiently waiting for Father Christmas to find their parcels in his sack at the playgroup party this afternoon.

Everyone seemed to enjoy it, I think - it all passed in a bit of a blur of spilt icing, sprinkles, stickers and raffle tickets as far as I was concerned. Still, not a bad afternoon on balance - swapped most of my 100 biscuits for 2 bottles of wine, and both litte Gs seemed pleased with what we Santa's elves had chosen for them this year. Phew ;-)
