eggnog day!!

**dusts off cobwebs**

So. Another year comes to a close and, ohmygoodnessgraciousme, it's Eggnog Day! Hard to believe that last year, this little one spent most of the time curled up on the couch, snoozing and snuffling in the most adorable newborn way. Now, a whole year older,  our  cheeky little elf couldn't wait to dip his fingers into Cyril's eggnog, wear his aunty's shades, play peekaboo with glassware and demolish an ornament or two. 






 Such an adorable little monkey-elf!






So.
Was it hot? Why yes. It is tradition to sweat a little when putting up mom's tree.

Did we wear something silly on our heads? Yep. We gave it horns  this year. Horns with bells on.

Was there confusion over lights, which ones worked, which ones were for outside and which were for inside, where the hell were the plugs and power adapters again?  Oh yes. Definitely. It would be No Fun without that sort of confusion.

Did we get slightly pissed? Yes. This too is the tradition.Cyril's nog has no small measure of booze hidden in it's innocent-looking creamy depths.

Another wonderful day with an ever expanding (ahem ;-P ) family. Such magical moments. Thanks guys.

And happy holidays everyone!

the poinsettia posse....

Christmas Day and there's a serious trend starting here. One in which we open pressies, climb into poinsettia cocktails (two bottles of champagne's worth) and then spend the rest of the day eating and planning the photo shoot. Last year's rock group pose was so much fun…how to top it?
With a baddass, mofo rap group pose, that’s how. 
Oh goodgrief it was hilarious.
Research was conducted (Googling rap group poses- we're such geeks), various styles debated over, poses chosen and practiced.
Ladeeeez and gentlemennnn......please welcome the Poinsettia Posse.















The next family pic will have to be more refined and dignified or else we might give people 
the wrong impression.
That we're drunks. Or show offs. Or bloody idiots. 
But  I dare you to try it the next time you're planning a family portrait. It's a load of fun ;-P
 PS- What the hell kind of pose did they give me? Looks frighteningly like me in teacher mode.
