Mum greets Uncle Jack with Barbara looking on and Aunty
Edith on the right. |

The Bates side of the family. Aunty Edith, Ken and wife
Maureen, Gill and Husband Les, Kay and husband Kevin. |

Aunty Margaret and Uncle Jack strictly belong to the
Dunwell side but there has been a strong affinity between
them and Aunty Edith's family. |

My son Joe and my wife Judith frame Sam, who is Joe's
(half!) nephew. (Almost Mum's great grandson.) |

Aunty Daisy and her family, my daughter Emily just
visible over Aunty Daisy's head. Tony and wife Jenny,
Margaret on the right. In the background are Joe's mother
Jane and Janet, a friend from my university days. |

More of Aunty Daisy's family. Margaret and husband Mark.
To the left are Joe's half sisters, Frances, Charlotte
and her partner Ian. |

More Dunwell side. From the right, cousins Christine and
Janet with Roger's wife Pat. Had Paul been in his seat he
would have been in this picture! |

Cousins Roger (opposite Pat) and Stuart frame Glennie's
husband Bob. |

Christine's husband Peter with his mother-in-law, Aunty
Eleanor. |

Mum shares a joke with Glennie and Stuart's wife
Christine. |

Joe, Sam and Judith examine the contents of another
cracker pulled by Sam! |

I wow them all with a well rehearsed and witty speech!!!! |
|

Mum tackles the candles on her cake. |

I seem to have missed Paul (entirely!) and Emily from my
shots but here is a bonus one of Emily cooking a meal for
us on Christmas Eve. |
