Here are some photos from our party. More will be added when I get them. These photos aren’t my camera work so some are blurry and not worth looking at. Others are best viewed as thumbnails only and others are just great photos. If you have some photos to share, please email me.
At 12:22am, Tuesday 22nd January our family grew by one member with the addition of the gorgeously cute Charlotte Claire Elizabeth Davies. Mum and baby are happy and healthy and everyone has gone a little baby crazy (as you can see in the photos). A wonderful addition to the family and I will share the adventures of Charlotte, as seen by me, here.
For those who love the happy snaps (and who doesn’t) there are photos continually updated on the photos page, but here are a few cute ones to get you excited!
So the festive season is almost over and this year has been the most jam-packed Christmas ever. Mel and I both did well in terms of gifts (being that our respective families love us so) and we also brightened their season with well chosen and appropriate gifts. We had trouble deciding what was better, giving or receiving. Nothing will be able to compare to the surprised look on Mel’s face when she unwrapped her Jolly Wolf. If you don’t know of Jolly W0lf or Jolly Mah you should visit nici’s website until Mel finally makes a page of her collection.
The festive season also brought about my newest project, being an online dvd database so that the family as a collective knows what dvd’s one has, what dvd’s one wants and hopefully we can prevent double-ups.
Finally, in my spare time this festive season I’ve also been working on some vectorisation work for Mel (again of Jolly Mah) which I will publish here at some point and hopefully when Mel turns them into desktop wallpapers we will publish them here also. Merry everyone!
The road to Christmas is a short one indeed. Generally my extended family all get together before Christmas to celebrate and this year it is our turn to host festivities. With that planned for this Sunday there is only really a week or so until Christmas day. I still have a fair amount of shopping to do for Christmas (which is unlike me) but it’ll get done. The hardest thing is deciding what to get people. It sure is tough buying the ‘perfect’ gift.
As a side note, for the extended family Christmas we are planning some delicious varieties of homemade ice cream. We are definitely making the crowd pleasing ‘Cookies n Creme’ and we are probably going to do a berry swirl ice cream with either blueberries or raspberries. I think both these berries are understated in the ice cream world and should be given at least 15 minutes of fame.
So all systems are go! Plenty to do tomorrow on top of the usual tidying of the house and what not. Just don’t tell anyone that I’m excited it’s Christmas time.
Last night Mel and I went to her cousin’s engagement party at their home in the (somewhat local) road next to mine. Despite initial reservations it turned out to be a good night and it was good to see Mel’s extended family again as I hadn’t seen them since Mel’s birthday party. Now I’m even more enthused to get our engagement party on the go so I suppose we’ll have to finally get off our asses. But maybe my motivation is to show Mel’s family that we can put on a better party than her cousin.
