After the nativity play last night which is the best I have ever seen and mince pies and mulled wine the four of us headed up for some christmas eve skiing and vals. The snow was really beautiful for skiing but unfortunately with my stitches it was a no go for me.

Claire, Adam, Clive and I spent the night in the caboose and woke up to presents on christmas morning. The bookcase for Claire was too big to get up to the caboose so some elves put it in her room for when she got back in the morning.

Adam and Claire had to be at work by 9am so they left early Clive and I stayed till past midday we had to take down the pyramid tent and I wanted to make a snowman.

We had some visitors Ant and Simon came up and as Clive had the guitar we spent an hour just listening to three talented people and made our way down for brunch.

Phone calls and opening of gifts and before you know it it was time to set the tables for christmas dinner. I got some beautiful presents – Clive made a fruit bowl on the lathe, Claire made me a gingerbread house kit and lots of yummy things from home, Adam gave me a flight in the UK with him on the planes he flies and Matt Doc my secret santa dd a beautiful water color of a twin otter over Jenny Island framed. Wow I am a lucky person.

After too much food and chocolate it was time to watch some 007 in the form of Casino Royale and then bed time at 11pm as I had to be at work this morning.

Hope you had an amazing day with friends and family.

Love
Ash
