Wickmas 2022

So for the final blog of 2022 I am catching up on Christmas events with the pictures from our family Wickmas gathering on Boxing Day. As usual we had all the usual shenanigans and lots of fun had by all. I know it sounds biased, but I am going to award myself the Xmas jumper award for 2022 even though I was wearing a shirt (Holly thought it was hideous hence why I award myself best jumper). We didn't vote on a recipe as such, but again without sounding biased I would have to give it to Tina for her delicious brei and cranberry bake. The naff-naff was no contest with Nicky being the hands down winner with the singing cactus which repeated whatever sounds/words/noises it heard.

Lisa arranged an excellent quick as always which I think was won by Zoe. She also did this really cool string competition where you pulled a string through a cone and won a random prize. Michael also arranged a blind drinking competition with 5 or 6 soft drinks to taste - Joshua won this.

Anyway, enough words, loads of pictures from orur day.

Food all prepared and ready for everyone to arrive.

Once everyone arrived, we started the day with the presents.

More present opening.

Selfie with me and some of the family tucking in to presents.

Amy helping Rory open one of his presents.

Zoe tucking in to a present with Rory watching on intently.

Rory's turn.

It's Peppa Pig.

Me with my shirt that Holly thought was hideous.

I know it's cold in my house Matt, but the scarf up and over your mouth.

Uncle Michael got some nice Under Armour gear which I was dead jealous of.

Oldest and youngest siblings having a battle on Mortal Kombat.

David "trying" to get close to my score on Tapper.

Let the battle commence.

Time for the giant cracker which I had to make all on my own this year.

3-2-1 pull.

Dive in and find your present.
