HAPPY 2008

Well, I am sorry it has been a wee while since the last post! I have some excuses but the main one being that we had no internet access on our main computer and I couldn't be bothered updating from a laptop (PC!). It takes so much longer.

Anyway, this Allen family have had a lovely Christmas season- from Gingerbread house competitions (which we won!!!) at the beginning of December to a wonderful family Christmas with my family in New York.

Here are some pics of Christmas in NY- Reubens first Christmas.




We caught two shows while we were away - both were excellent and we must have put on several stone between us as the meals out plus christmas days feast were amazing!

Lindsay and Lilian picked us up from the airport and we celebrated a second Christmas with them plus granny winnie on new years day after ALL of us bringing in the new year with toast (which Reuben can eat with his new teeth. He cut four while in New York!)



The men prepared a wonderful feast of Goose, roast vegetables, stuffing mmmmm- it was delicious. Afterwards we skyped Canada and did our pandoras box.



I hope 2008 is as exciting and fun filled as 2007 was for us! Now let the onslaught of significant birthdays commence-
(reubens 1st, my dads 50th, lindsays 60th, my grannys 80th, ricks aunt and uncles 50th and ricks 30th) not to mention the hundreds of January birthdays in our family- ah well, isn't it great we can enjoy them all.
