Family Christmas for TCM

This year, TCM's family had travelled further than Nazareth to Bethlehem to get together for Christmas.
They started with making christmassy fodder......

Then it was a super-sized Sunday lunch .....

DDC in charge of The Carvery....

No dessert table ever too full for this family....

Then there was the obligatory Family Photo.

They say never work with children or animals......

Perhaps they should include TCMs family too!!!!

Probably nothing that can't be fixed with photo workshop....

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Harrisam!!

Not content to have only one Santa Photo (to kill some time while DDC went Christmas Shopping)...... and to clarify exactly where Santa was to deliver his presents after last year's misunderstanding....

Harrisam hopes you all have a safe festive season and a prosperous New Year.

With only 14 sleeps until Santa, Harrisam has entered into Christmas Party Season with TCM's work do....

....so a mudcake was whipped up and decorated by TCM and her little helpers...

...before heading out to Sheena's Place for a garden party....

Unfortunately, the weather didn't hold so it became a shed party....

Gordon Ramsay on the BBQ

....then finally it was pinata time

Although it appears that a crowbar makes shorter work of breaking into a pinata...eh Bailey?

Happy Birthday Jessica

Yesterday, Harrisam attended the last birthday of the season .... Jessica's

After last weekend at Fairisam's birthday, TCM highly recommends the use of bouncy castles at all 5th birthday parties (just take care when wearing a princess dress as they can get torn or lose roses..).

Jess's mum had organised a hairdresser friend to make all our princesses look more beautiful...

including Fairisam...

Jess's dad was set the task of a Mariposa Barbie Birthday Cake..
