Christmas Photo's

I know it has taken me a very long time to get around to this - but here, at last, are a few brief snapshots of a Richter Christmas! Jes and I making the worlds yummiest cob loaf dip (Jes, can you email me the recipe - please?!). Note the gorgeous aprons!


Chaman, Altaf, Daddy and Joel enjoying the Midori frozen slushies I made them. I quality tested each batch so really didn't need my own by the time I was done - but had one anyway! The Richter clan - as it expands! Top Row: Joel, Chaman and Dad. On the couch: Me, Hannah and Jes. On the floor: Mum!An obligatory photo every year - all the 'kids' on the floor under the wrapping paper and any large gifts (Chaman's quilt!)
Mum had this great idea that for lunch we should all get dressed in 'finery'. That is - our greatest and most ridiculous op shop outfit. Joel and I went all out. (not sure what he's doing in this photo!) I still don't believe anyone other than mum really tried to look as aweful as we did. I couldn't move in that dress the sleeves were so tight! The evening saw us in a game of trivial pursuit. Dad won in about three rounds. I think we shouldn't let him play with us anymore!
The crazy thing here is that they are actually both asleep!Chaman isn't asleep (see that smile?!) Jes isn't either but she's had years of pretending to sleep and is very good at it!
A great end to a great day!
Christmas - love it! Love the Lord!
Thanks family - you are the best gift a girl could ever have for Christmas!
