Welcome to Douglas

The kids get a big kick out of the sign at the entrance to Hugh and Mary's place.

Extra protein

Discovered during the washing-up (yes, after we had eaten the broccoli).

Evan's Letter to Santa

Evan asked for a Phineas and Ferb DS game and a surprise (2 presents because he says last year in Michigan, Santa forgot to bring him anything).

Interminable...

Ellen's Christmas Dance concert today.

Passing through Heathrow

The kids were delighted to meet Father Christmas and the table lady (now there's a story).

I kept hoping we would run into Keaneau (hey, it's not beyond the realm of possibility, it is Heathrow after all) but it was not to be. However, Speed was on telly that night, so I'm taking that as a sign that something's working (must try harder).

Happy Christmas
