Hello Everyone, Happy New Year!! We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Santa was good to you, he was to us, especially Miss Holly !! Sorry for the long delay in updating you all, we have been getting complaints!! So I will try and fill you in on the past couple of weeks.
So back to the 23rd December, we headed off up to Lossiemouth for Christmas. On the way we stopped off in Westhill to see Rosemary, a family friend, who was up for Christmas and had never met Holly. We spent a lovely hour or so with her, here she is with Holly.....
We spent the 23rd and Christmas Eve getting ready for Christmas at Mum and Dad's house, we went to the local Carol singing concert in the Square on Christmas Eve, which was lovely, if not a bit cold!!
We were up about 7am on Christmas Day (I am sure that will be the latest we are up on Christmas Day for many years to come once Holly knows what it is all about!). We opened presents in the morning and had a nice breakfast etc. Here are some photos taken on Christmas morning....
And here is the debut on the blog of the bump, I decided seen as it was Christmas I would let a photo be taken of it!! I am not keen on pregnant photos of me, so don't expect many more!!
On Christmas Day Afternoon we went down to Grannie and Granda Stewart's for Christmas Dinner. We had a lovely meal, although Holly was a little monkey during it and didn't like being in her chair, this photo sums up her mood....
Here she is a bit happier playing with her Grannie and Daddy.....
After lunch Holly's Great Grannie and Granda came to see her with Auntie Mandy and George and then Uncle Bill, Eryn and Lee so she was kept amused. We had a quiet Christmas Night back with my Mum and Dad.
On Boxing Day Auntie Sarah and Uncle Mike came through to Lossiemouth and Auntie Helen came down to the house and we had a BBQ, yes that's right a BBQ on the 26th December!! Yes my family are mad!! It was nice though, and we played a cool music game at night, which the girls won!! The boys were rubbish!!
On the 27th my good friend, Leona, came down to see us which was lovely. After that we headed back to Aberdeen, we had all been a bit poorly over Christmas with this never-ending cold, Holly especially, so decided it was best to head home. Ian was working from home for the rest of the week, so Holly and I hit the sales one day, and just hung about the house the rest of the time. Here she is playing, looking gorgeous!!
And playing with her Daddy again....
On Hogmanay we went to a few shops then I made us a yummy roast dinner at tea time. We then all went to bed at our usual time and didn't stay up, very boring I know, but we have been so tired with lots of early starts (Holly seems to be back to getting up aroung 5am since she has been ill).
On New Year's Day we went down to Sarah and Mike's for a lovely lunch and on the 2nd we went to a party at Angela and Martin's. Holly was really pleased to see Matthew, I think she has missed all her friends!! Yesterday I was back to work so Ian and Holly went and bought a freezer and to Asda, fun!!
So that was our Christmas and New Year, we had a nice time although a bit of a dampner was put on it by us being ill, but these things can't be helped. Holly has also got 2 more teeth in the past fortnight (she has 8 now!) and I can feel her molar's coming in, so has had a time of it the poor thing. She is beginning to take steps on her own now, she can manage about 2 then gives up, but I am sure she will get there in her own time. Her talking is going well too.
The bump is fine, wriggling away and it has started kicking Ian if he puts his arm over my tummy, which is very funny.
So that's the update, sorry if I have missed anything or anyone out....
Will be back soon (ish!)

Hi Hannah, Ian and Holly - great to see the blog back in publication and especially to see your New Year photos. Doesnt Holly look trendy in the little jacket Leona gave her?
