Zara's First Christmas



Wow, what a super Christmas day we have had! As you can see...Chris & I got all we could have wanted, our beautiful Zara, snuggly & save inside her own Christmas stocking! And yet there was more..... Having arrived in Durban on the 22nd Dec, Zara has decided that she is really enjoying the sea air and has been sleeping through - YAY!!!

The celebrations started on Christmas Eve. Kelly and Rory hosted a fantastic dinner at their beautiful apartment in Umghlanga with the Atkinsons & Armours etc. Zara got to meet her baby cousins (2nd cousins to be precise) Riley Lindsay - 4wks old and Rebekah Armour - 3 wks old. Although the kids didn't really pay each other much attention, the adults all "gooed" over the precious bundles.

Christmas day was also divine. We spent a very relaxing day at Mark & Claudia's, opening an abundance of presents...... jeepers was Zara spoilt - I think the picture says it all! Thank you everyone!!!

Then it was time for lunch and we had a very civilised lunch at the table - we were also so lucky as both girls were sweet enough to have their naps over lunchtime which made it even nicer to be able sit and eat our roast and enjoy a good glass of wine. After lunch, with our bellies about to burst we all relaxed around the pool and enjoyed the lovely summer's day.

What a splendid day it was and, although we adore the babies, it was very nice to be grownups and have a "civilised" lunch while they slept like little angels
