Excitement is starting to fill the McCarthy household as we are expecting an annual visitor tonight - on the balance of things, the kids have likely made the 'Nice' list and we will be leaving some Christmas Cake, some carrots and a liquid refreshment for Santa so he can rehydrate in the warm weather we are having.
Of course, with the kids getting slightly older, getting a straight forward photo for the blog is almost impossible but at least we've got the three together (albeit with one picking his nose !)
Iman and Jack are keenly aware and expectant but Ayden is still riding the excitement and more focused on the upcoming flight to Vietnam on Saturday.
The Christmas tree is looking good again this year and already has a good covering of Christmas presents at the base. Christmas lunch this year will be slightly different as Maria's family are all away so our close friends Gavin and Juliet are joining us along with their kids. It should be an afternoon of fun, a Christmas swim hopefully and later that evening more friends are joining for leftovers.
The good news is that we had our delivery of fresh Irish Soda Bread (still warm from the oven) this morning so the morning tomorrow can start with some wild irish smoked salmon and soda bread.
Wishing all our family and friends a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
