Merry Christmas

I think Jack likes Christmas because... he's started smiling proper smiles (that is, he smiles not only when he's about to fart or burp!).

And, he has good reason to smile because in the seven weeks since he was born we have received over 50 greeting cards and too many presents to count. Indeed, Christmas was made much better by the fact we saved a good number of his parcels for Christmas day and so we had a real family Christmas with presents from everyone (thanks Aunt Jen, Gerry and Jackie, Shona and Iain, Sam and Fraser, Jillian, Josef and Aina, Mum and Dad, Nina and really to everyone who has sent presents and cards over the last few months). Living in Alsace is wonderful but it does mean that we are away from so many people we care about.. and that our living room has been continuously decorated with your presence has meant a great deal to me, Ben, and Jack!!

So, I hope you all had a lovely, lovely Christmas Day (and that Santa was good to you ;-)
much love,
Robyn
