Family Gathering







It's Christmas Eve. I really do love this day, I always have. The anticipation, the bustling about, the great smells, the hurry to finish gifts in the making (which wasn't a very big list at all this year) and often gathering. This year my family got together Christmas Eve for dinner at my mum's. We are a growing family so there is 14 of us! something we all enjoy- bumping elbows, gift opening taking a long time testing everyones patience (in a good way), old traditions and lots of new ones. Just the way its meant to be. We hurry home to check if Santa has been yet, and set up cookies, carrots and gifts for him before we slip into bed. The anticipation mounts!
