Tagine-a-licious!

Santa was kind enough to bring Neil a Tagine for Christmas this year. Neil wasted no time in cooking up a good feast and I was pretty excited to be chief taster of his delicious, sweet Moroccan beef with cinnamon, apricots, dates and almonds. Mmmmmmm..... it was SOOO good! The kids loved it too....Dale not so much but hey you can't please everyone.

Thank you Santa!

I had to include this shot of Neil looking less than impressed with Mr Badger. I don't remember what exactly was bugging him but I don't think it was much to do with Mr Badger.

Headley's do Boxing Day....

Thank you Headley's (especially for that steamed pud!!!)

Merry Christmas one and all!

Good food, good company and one very excited little boy who partied hard and crashed early. Christmas at the Ralston's turned out pretty good this year:)

Presents, presents, presents!!

I'm so confused......I'm pretty sure I haven't done any real Christmas shopping this year and yet we seem to have a squillion presents under our tree. I can tell I wrapped most of them so they're not all for me. Maybe I blacked out and went to the mall?

My handsome boy...

It's getting harder and harder to get a good photo of Seb, he's always on the go running around like a crazy thing. Not to mention that he's usually trying to cover up the lens with the lens cap for me mid photo. He's probably just sick of the sight of my camera. Anyway this morning he stood perfectly still with this amazing quiet little smile on his face just long enough for me to get these pics. I love the one above, he looks so handsome and it just makes me want to scoop him up and kiss him.
Mwah!

Hey where'd my hand go?

Even a game this fun gets boring after a while.
