Christmas at Uncle Hilmar and Aunty Di's house

We were woken up early by a very excited Phillipa!  She came into the lounge with Rachel and shone torches into our faces to wake us up!  

This was the last we saw of Hilmar for a while, for some strange reason he always seems to miss Santa...

Phillipa was the Christmas elf

 Hilmar and Dianne gave us T-shirts, Pete's says I (heart) Gillian and mine says Mrs Pig (explanation)

Pete surrounded by his girls

Pete cooked the whole dinner, thanks Pete, it was delicious!!!

That afternoon (yes it was dark already) we went to the temple to see the lights and the nativity.

This was a particularly special thing to see, the night before Pete and I got married we went to the temple together.  It was misty and the lights were shining on the spires and making these shadows in the mist.  We were treated to the same spectacle here.  Pete fondly remembered making shelters in the temple grounds as a boy, although he did think the pond was bigger.
