Christmas Day: Ruth and Dede.
Christmas - a time to think of a new birth.
It will be good to welcome another new baby to the family and yesterday it was good to welcome Dede.
"Ah" says Ruth, "something for the baby.... what do I do with it?"
There were crackers on the Christmas lunch table, with interesting toys inside and of course a paper hat.
We played with cracker toys and then Simon showed Dede a game with the wine corks.
This is a poignant picture because it was Dad who always liked to tease and please the children with the wine corks.
Sitting as presents were unwrapped.
Dede met so many family members and family traditions during the day.
Hat and scarf.... just what a young man from Madagascar needs for an English Winter.
Dede then met the balloons - this particular style of balloon as been a part of a Frost family Christmas for very many years.
He learned how to stick them to the wall with static electricity. 
Then it was time to tackle another puzzle - this is one that Roger received from under the tree.
