New Year in the Czech Republic

Our house for New Year. Come on snow!!!

Boxing day

 Boxing day begins with ensuring Barbie and Ken have somewhere to relax while we go out.

Then the beds need to be made. One for Ken and one for Barbie of course.

Before boxing day lunch and a long walk with Junior at Uncle Randy's house.

Santa's sack.

How cool is that?

Christmas dinner

A break from presents for delicious festive fare. Thanks Uncle Lars!

And the adults....

Nice, practical presents for the adults....

 Daddy and his snowmen bauble.

 Uncle Robin and some kind of hooded Saudi gown.

 Uncle Lars with an outfit that is sure to see daily use.

The family photo. Katrin brought her hijab especially. 

The great unwrapping.

 First one out of the wrapping, and quickly modelled. Is that a mermaid I spy??

 Next one!

 Wellies from Grandma!

 Adults wait patiently...2 opened, 90 to go!

 Tinkerbell!

 Move over pink Rabbit. My new bedtime rabbit has arrived.

Barbie. More Barbie. That makes a Barbie house, a Barbie swimming pool, a Barbie bedroom, a pop star barbie, a mermaid barbie, a fairy Barbie and a Barbie movie. Enough Barbie for one year.

 Mummy and Daddy relax amongst the wreckage. 

Now there's something you don't see every day. Mummy and Daddy dancing!

He's here!

 After a wait that seemed to last forever...he appeared from the balcony. 

 Rosie gazed in awe...staying firmly behind Mummy...

 until Santa indicated that he might have some presents with him..

 Time to make friends with Santa...presents!

 Rosie and new best friend..wait till you see the pile!

Waiting for Santa

 The wait seems to last forever..at least Angry Birds is at hand to kill a few more minutes.

Christmas is coming!

Time to do the tree with Uncle Robin.

 Looking good to me!

Perfect balls Uncle Robin.

A drive in Berlin

 Rosie at the wheel of a German sportster.

 Beep - Beep!

Hard to believe that 10 seconds later she was crying to get off...

Skating at the Christmas market.

Preparing to hit the ice. Daddy has a bad track record (three times skating, three times in hospital) Rosie seems to sense this.

Style on ice. No broken bones this time...Job done.

Hidden behind the penguin is Rosie, who went whizzing round the ice with ease and laughter.

Cousin Lana is in town!

Stepping out in downtown Berlin with Cousin Lana and Auntie Alison

Two Christmas princesses. All ready for Santa.

 Why not a spot of TV with Uncle Lars to top off the day? Perfect.

And then perhaps a spot more telly before bed. What an exhausting day!
