A Family Christmas

When I started thinking about what I would do for Christmasthis year, I had two or three choices.

• Stay in NZ in mid-Summer and have Christmas and New Year alone.
• Go back to the UK, to the cold, dark and damp for a brief reunion with my sons (individually, as they’re not speaking to each other).
• Come to the US for a family Christmas with Anne, Stacey and Kiana and a warm welcome from friends here. No brainer.

And the bonus: an invitation to spend some time with Ted and his family. I don't normally post photo galleries here but these are some memories of my family Christmas.
