Marking the Christmas season - Hutt Valley style

The Kids' Christmas Party Himself arrived in style and to a crush of fans and had to bribe his way through the throng Himself! The serious business of making Christmas Cards while we wait for Himself Jelly and ice-cream was a timely distraction for Bridget (and Ray managed to avoid wearing any of it!) We start 'em young! Abby isn't too old to enjoy a present from Santa Inside it was gifts for everyone, helped by Santa's helpers - Emma Coffey and Katie Braid Conor focussed on the task at hand while some just wouldn't watch the camera for mum or dad and one or two couldn't wait to get away!
