Christmas Part III

Christmas, Dallas and UK style



Here's Ellie, dressed up in her Christmas jammers to go see Christmas lights. A neighborhood very close to the Hirst's was incredibly decked out with lights, inflatable Santas, reindeer, Mickey Mouse characters, etc. Ellie and Damian got out of the car several times to get a closer look. As Ellie is not bashful, she walked right up to several displays as well as told other passersby about them.
Here's Charlie! What a big growing boy he is. He smiles most of the time. Of course, we missed it in this photo! In fact he smiles right through spitting up! We'll try not to get a picture of that.




It's very festive in Dallas. In fact, it's snowing today (Christmas Eve)! Not exactly like Cozumel and Ed is shivering as this is written. Damian and Adrienne have been busy making all kinds of exotic foods that Damian views as a Christmas necessity. Here are a few of the delicacies we'll be having over the next several days - cranberry orange bread, chocolate yule log, summer fruit pudding, bread and butter pudding, cornbread stuffing for the turkey, bacon wrapped sausage, carrot mash, roast potatoes, pavlova, brandy sauce and butter to go on the Christmas pudding purchased in the UK, ham and salmon. Phew! Didn't know we could fit all this on a post!
