Christmas for us starts on the Sunday before Christmas Day with the annual Simmons Family Party - a time for....
catching up with cousins
sharing stories with the in-laws
preparing too much delicious food
presents from Santa Simmons
and of course, the annual family photo ...
excitement - Santa came and filled the stockings
brotherly hugs and festive costumes
opening presents .... a family affair
some need help .... from other family members
others didn't - they managed all by themselves.
great gifts - a budding drummer - I love my new socks - thanks Santa!
eating festive food - gingerbread and Christmas mince pies -yum!
and peace, happiness and sweet dreams.
