A festive and love filled month for the Rowlatt's in December!
As always, the festive season was kicked off my one of our favourite days of the year. The Annual Price Christmas Dinner. This year's meal was amazing as always and Robin got to join the official kid's table. It was lovely to see Jasper, Bobo, Dylan and Rose enjoying their meals for the full 5 minutes they were all sat at once! ;)
Thanks to the Price's - December and Christmas would not be the same without this kick off!
The obligatory family Christmas jumper shot! Bobo looks unimpressed.

December Birthdays can be a curse, but not if your mummy organises you a lovely tea party!!!

Nana and Nani left for their trip mid December so we took some photos around the tree. We were very sad they wouldn't be around for Christmas again but they were off to sunnier climbs...January with Janita Masi and Amit's wedding in India in February.
Mummy's Birthday:
For my birthday Philip organised a trip up to the Cotswolds. First stop was The Wheatsheaf for a spot of Birthday lunch! This was Robin's second trip up to the Cotswolds and third to the Wheatsheaf!

The first photo Robin ever took! Dadda!
The Wheatsheaf
We stayed at Barnsley House and had a lovely afternoon relaxing, watching Christmas films and then Robin went to bed in our room, leaving us to enjoy a birthday dinner in the restaurant.
On the Saturday we met with Matt and Tess, Harry Aran, Edu and the newest Jimenez-Pass, Elena. The Kingham Plough didn't know what hit it, with Edu and Robin running around, hugging and causing mischief! A literal run in with Jeremy Clarkson and Alex James left the pair (and us!) quite exhausted after a fabulous lunch!

Birthday Kisses for Mummy
A Sunday morning wander around Barnsley House Gardens included hiding in bushes and spying on Chickens
Christmas at Auntie Sarah and Uncle Mark's:
On Christmas Eve we drove to Guildford to join the Towell's for Christmas. Auntie Sarah's house is the most Christmassy house ever!! There was a Christmas cake, mince pies and cookies ready and a fire burning when we arrived. Philip made a Chestnut soup for lunch and there was a delicious ham plus trimmings for dinner thanks to Uncle Mark! A very cosy and lovely Christmas Eve which included Robin dressing as a Snowman and leaving out some treats for Father Christmas and Rudolf.
Christmas morning.... Santa came....twice, judging by the amount of presents we were all lucky enough to receive! Grandad Rowlatt brought Buster down for the festivities and of course Robin loved him!
An amazing Christmas dinner, thanks to Uncle Mark and Auntie Sarah!!

Thanks so much to Sarah, Mark, Alex Lewis and Issy for having us stay for Christmas. It was so lovely and a special think you to Issy for giving up her bedroom for us!!!
New Year's Eve in Salcombe:
We headed down to Salcombe for New Year's with Chris, Amy and Aoife! Windy walks on the Dog beach, cosy lunches and dinner and Baby New Year's Eve. As always a great end to the year and start of a new one.

BABY NEWMANIA!!
Well, we wish 2012 goodbye - what an amazing and different year we had, as a couple, as a family. We give thanks and love to all our friends and family who makes our lives so special and look forward to an equally exciting 2013!
