Christmas in Wales

Wow the Welsh sure go all out for Christmas. Fake grass and palm trees!!! (This is not my aunt's house by the way.)

Neil and Sayard awoke christmas morning to find that Santa had tracked them down.

Hoping Santa had brought snow as well, they rushed to the window to see. While there was no snow, there was frost and that was good enough for them.

Tough boy with his Christmas goodies.

Reverting to her childhood on a different continent.

Posing in their new clothes.

Little baby Taliesin opening his first Christmas presents at Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Rhys showing Neil a thing or two. We played with one of his gifts more than he did. If anyone sees an interactive globe for cheap please pick it up for us.

Introducing Tal, the most well behaved 10 month old you will ever lay your eyes on. Over the two days he spent at the house he did not cry out once. The more time we spent with his parents we knew exactly why, as they are such confident and self-assured people yet also very down to earth and caring.

My Aunt Ruth. Being away from home at Christmas was certainly strange at first, but she made us feel right at home. A brilliant host.

Family gathered at the table. We did eat a proper Christmas dinner, although no photos survived.

Us, relaxed and content .
