Boxing Day 2024

Still playing catch-up on the Xmas blogs and only just got around to uploading a few of the pictures from our Boxing Day family get together. I am not going to write much on this blog as it was all the usual shenanigan's but without the giant Xmas cracker for the secret Santa presents this year. Instead we all agreed to have completely anonymous secret Santa presents (rather than buying for a specific person) and then randomly picking them out of a giant wrapped box.

We started the food before presents this year as Matthew was stuck in traffic coming from the tunnel.

Didn't seem like any arguments about having gammon sandwiches before presents.

Holly chilling on her phone and waiting for more presents.

Eventually everyone was here and it was time to cram in to the living room for some presents.

Present time...

Rare moment where Josh was down with the family and not hiding away in his bedroom.

Tina and Brandon opening some presents.

Holly was spoilt as usual and had loads to open.

Lea seems very happy about her book.

We thought this was perfect present for Nicky from the kiddies.

Really pleased Amy liked her Terrifier throw (even if it will give Nicky nightmares!).

Updated 2024 picture of the 4 siblings - one year older.

At everyone's request the PS3 Buzz game was dusted off for some family fun.

Buzz is always good fun as 4 people can plat at once.

Rory even dusted off last years family present which has hardly been used.

Michael trying to stick Grinch's hat on his head whilst blindfolded.

Zoe's turn.

Auntie Lea. How can she place it so high being so short?

David getting close. Not sure who won in the end. Might have been Amy.

Auntie Lisa having a go.

Always got an ear pod in and listening to music!

Tina and Brandon having a play fight.

Holly sitting down to have some food with her Uncle David and Uncle Michael.

Holly playing with some of her presents.

No giant cracker for 2024, instead a Secret Santa box to pick out a random present.

Tina and Brandon cuddles.

Looking cool in one of his many new Xmas outfits.
