Way back when… it was Christmas

Since I have so much catching up to do, I thought I’d start out with Christmas, since I didn’t post about it and since that was the last time I actually done anything on my blog. So here goes, on Christmas eve we as a family came together at my cousin’s home on the farm in Groblersdal, we ate a lovely dinner and opened up some presents, we amused the kids with Mario as Santa Clause.

(Katinka thought the light was a microphone like Jan-Hendrik’s.Mario played along as Santa Clause and I was Santa’s helper, unfortunately Mario is new to the family so I helped him along with everyone’s names.

The next day on Christmas day, we went to my Cousin, Melanie’s home, also on a farm, we had a wonderful Christmas lunch and spent time with the family, some of those who couldn’t make it to the Christmas Eve dinner. Yeah, Christmas with our family is mostly about food, loads and loads of food :)

I Know this is a little too far back, but this was such a wonderful time and amazing to be able to spend it with my wonderful family.
