Marston family Christmas

We had one day of "small" Marston family Christmas celebration in Kent, 

then on New Years Eve day we spent time with a large portion of the extended Marston family. 

I will let the pictures tell the story.

 (it is hard to read, but Coens shirt is announcing that he will be a big brother!)

(We have no pictures on our camera from the two Marston Christmas gatherings, 

so these are all from May's camera. )

We had a wonderful Christmas season.

But, as always, I was ready to get back to our normal routine.

We are slowly putting away the Christmas decorations at our house, 

but are not in a big hurry.

I enjoy Christmas music and the Nativity scene and the photo Christmas cards from friends, 

so why hurry past it?

(but if I am still saying the same thing in Feb I might need a little 

kick-in-the-pants!)
