Christmas at the Harrisons

We arrived in East Kilbride on Christmas eve just in time for dinner and a quiet night in. Everyone was up bright and early on Christmas morning (normal for Ally, not so normal for everyone else!) to open our presents. Alistair now had a whole array of annoyingly noisey toys which he loves, mum and dad aren’t showing quite so much enthusiasm!

At lunchtime(ish) we headed to Bishopton - Alistair was on good form entertaining everyone, and being entertained by his dads cousins. We had a staged dinner where we had one course then one round of presents which worked quite well and allowed everyone to stuff their faces all night long. After dinner Ally went to bed and the adults

had a game of Articulate. Mum and dad noticed that both in England and Scotland, both sets of grandparents are just plain rubbish at this game. Alistair was a star and slept really well.

On boxing day we had the Kerrs over for dinner - Ally was getting a bit overwhelmed by all the new faces by this point, and apart from a game of football with his great uncle David spent most of the night clinging to mum and generally moaning everytime she left the room.

All in all it was a very successful Crimbo that everyone seemed to enjoy - Ally even slept all the way home he was so tired out! Thanks to everyone who put us up and fed us over the last week or so!
