Tinkler Family Christmas Day!

We had Christmas Day with the Tinklers on Saturday at Kez, Mike, Ella, Jack and Lily's place. Denise & Bernie and Emma, Pat & Finn were also there and Paul, Reilly & Chloe in spirit (they're actually in Canada!)

Well, didn't we do well!!! Matt and I were given a super-sucking dustbuster (which I might add is exactly what we wanted... If you were given a vacuum cleaner for a present and didn't love it so much you have to check this out... http://creativity-online.com/work/view?seed=5e32d548 )

and James, well, let this picture do the talking... Two boys on their green ones!!! A John Deere tractor all to himself!

Although, in typical baby fashion, James was just as delighted with all of the wrapping paper.

Lily, however, was besotted with her new doll, which didn't leave her hand for the whole day and night!

Since returning home James has decided enough is enough, he's sick of caterpillar-ing along the ground and in the space of 24 hours from Sunday night to Monday night he's learnt to crawl properly (and quickly!) go from crawling to sitting and vice versa, and he's also pulling himself to standing on anything he can find. This development thing sure is quick! Watch out Walshs... you're about to get some uninvited interior designing!!!
