An early start this Christmas morning as we set off from Mum and Dad's house to drive up to Solihull. Due to the snow and problems on the railways, Mum and Dad had not been able to get up to Bryan's house on 23 Dec as originally planned and the snow in Solihull had prevented Bryan from coming down to pick them up by car. Today however was bright and dry and the roads relatively empty as we drove up to the midlands.
It was a typical family Christmas. All the girls were at home and after devouring a big Christmas lunch we spent the rest of the day opening presents and playing games. This year's main present in the Pugh household was the Wii and Saboohi and I had bought the family Wii Fit to accompany it. The Wii is THE gadget at the moment as couch potatoes all over the country get onto their feet and start jogging, bowling, skiing, skating etc We particularly enjoyed the ten pin bowling today and Mum and Dad both got involved and infact did very well! As Dad has not been very well recently and has been shakey on his feet, it was nice to see him up and participating in our Wii tournament.
The evening was filled with the more traditional family games, devided by our games master Bryan. "Play your cards right", Trivial Pursuit (on the Wii!)and "Call my bluff" they got the Bryan Pugh treatment and kept us all entertained until the late hours. And the cherry on the cake of course was that we had snow on the ground today! I can't remember the last time we had a White Christmas but we had one this year.
