Sorting through Photos...

A fellow blogger and K4BN member, Jenny, started posting photos(and videos) on Facebook under the heading, '25 Days of Christmas in Pictures', so I joined her in this project and it's been lots of fun. I don't really know what I originally envisaged I would share in this project, but it ended up being a lot of images from the family 'archives'. Here are some of the photos that I chose:-
The photos are in no particular chronological order...


The 'Patsy' and 'Edina' peg Angels that my daughters made one Christmas many years ago...

Some felt decorations purchased in the UK in 2008

A reindeer knitted by a friend last year. He is posing in front of a lovely reindeer mini quilt which Peg made me in the Christmas in July swap this year...

DD1 dressed as an angel for her part in the Sunday School concert many years ago...the costume featured lovely fluffy wings :-)

Some Australiana decorations given to me by a friend a few years ago...( the hot weather caused the candles to bend)

DD2's class performing in the school's Carols' Night. (she is in the front row and is wearing a dress with 3 tiers in the skirt) 

A little boy in my first class ever as a qualified teacher, gave me this doily for Christmas. His gran had crocheted it for me.
 Just a montage of my girls opening presents on Christmas day

 My SiL's Xmas village vs my tiny, very inexpensive one...


DD1 and I wearing 'mother and daughter Xmas outfits'

Another school Carols' night; this time it is DD1's class performing an item. DD1 is next to the tree
So there you have it...some glimpses of Christmases past...and a few more recent.

This post was meant to be done on Christmas Eve, but time ran away!

DD1 aged 2 with her new Fisher Price Carosel
Random photos of Christmases past when the girls were much younger...



Upstairs dining room

If the weather was really hot we would eat Christmas Dinner in the downstairs living area

The girls unwrapping presents with grandma (my mother)


DD1 carrying the Christingle symbol at Church

DD2 receiving her Christingle. We were still using real candles then
