christmas eve

I'd forgotten that people open their presents at midnight on xmas eve here, after a slap-up dinner which this year we ate round at Sonias house.

L-R: Tony, Alejandro, Graciela, Sonia, Santiago, Anamaria, Adri / me (depending on which version of the photo you're looking at)

Mimi enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper after the opening frenzy, if only it was so easy to please everyone ...

So all thats left to say is Merry Xmas everybody and thanks for all the crazy presents!
