Holiday recap



Hello! I know you've been losing sleep, tortured and obsessed by the single question, "Why haven't they posted to the blog?!" Ok, maybe not, but just flatter me, alright?

I decided to wait until after the holidays died down to give you a recap. Here it is!






Melissa's Aunt and Uncle generously invited us to their place for Christmas. Unfortunately, they live almost 3 hours south of York, which is a problem when you don't have a car! Thankfully, their son Mark lives close by in Leeds, and he was nice enough to pick us up.




We didn't leave until Christmas morning, and we stayed until Tuesday. As you can imagine, driving down the Motorway on Christmas morning was a breeze... no traffic!








Melissa's other cousin, John, is married to Helen and has two children, Elizabeth and Francesca.

































And their dog, Toby!










The kids enjoyed opening their presents ...














... and some of the bigger kids did as well.
















We enjoyed spending time in their new posh conservatory.






On Boxing Day (otherwise known as the day after Christmas) we were joined by Melissa's other cousin, Peter, and his wife Georgina














... and their dog, Chester.






We even got some snow!


















It was really nice being with family for Christmas. Thanks for reading!
