Build up to Christmas

We had quite a busy December with lots of pleasant outings. Here's Emma trying on Graham's glasses in The Priory pub in Portbury. We met with Helen's friend Kirsty and her fiance Graham for lunch. Emma provided lots of entertainment but then wanted to be anywhere except sitting at the table.

This is Emma at IKEA with Helen and Leila.

In this picture she's in her new backpack. Helen, Emma and I went for a walk along the Severn up by the first crossing (in the background).


It was very cold. This ice came from a puddle in the field.

Emma still enjoys a good "High Five." We have Leila to thank for that skill!

And she LOVES fingerpainting.

And going outside no matter how cold it is! Here we are off to feed the ducks.
