Christmas at Casa de Mrs E was an understated yet frustrating affair.  Christmas decorations were broken. Cooking was started almost two hours late (around the time we were supposed to be eating) due to the inclement weather and cold, cold wind smothering the heat beads in the spit roast (which really pissed Mr Husband off as the cooking is really his thing and he takes it personally when things go wrong).  The kids ended up eating McDonalds for dinner. We finally ate at about 9.30pm. 

However, when all was said and done, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner – and event which has become ever smaller due to family breaking up and/or moving away – was still a quiet success.  People went home full and mostly happy.  The kids were lost in a sea of toys and wrapping paper.  The big kids were very pleased with their presents – especially this big kid who scored a 50mm 1.8 and a 35mm 1.8 prime lens from Mr Husband this year.  Can’t wait to play with them.

The kids, I might add, were entertaining enough on their own…

Hear no evil; see no evil; speak no evil.

Three little monkeys. (Yes, we set that photo up.)

Anyway, this wayward photographer wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
