Sweeping up leaves

Dirk is on holiday from University and is having lovely 'quality time' with all of us, especially Alex.  They would do everything together if they could.  This afternoon has been spent raking up leaves in the garden, great fun if you are 19 months old.  Cup of tea and cup of warm milk are waiting for them when they come in.

This morning we braved the local town for our last Christmas shopping so we're all done, just wrapping and cooking to be done, followed by unwrapping and eating.
