So I'm finally updating the blog! I made it back to Scotland with Max, despite the dodgy back, and was promptly sorted out by 'miracle man' John Cleat who clicked all the joints in my back and neck into their correct position. Apparently I've one leg longer than the other which can cause back problems and also explains a lot of my pregnancy pains. I'm feeling fine now, thanks, (if a little freakish) but Max had better start learning to crawl or walk soon as he's getting heavier by the minute.
My dodgy back and mismatched legs didn't stop us from having a lovely Christmas! It was good to be home early to catch up with people and enjoy all of the festivities in the run up to Christmas. Max was a bit strange at first with all of the new faces and places and it meant that there was often a crying match every time I left the room. It was exhausting! By the time Paul arrived, he had settled in to his holiday residence at granny B's but then the boiler blew on Christmas day and we moved digs to the Smithies. Poor granny B, papa John, Veronica & Jeep were frozen for nearly a week before it was fixed. We then moved again to spend a few nights in Gourock with granny and granda, Ilona, Maura and Noah before going back to Greenock for the New Year. Max will definitely have itchy feet!
Referee! Christmas night at the Campbells' house - the boys battle it out on the wii.
Maura, Ilona, Max, Paul and Neil on Christmas night. Max has had enough of the dressing as Santa carry-on. This is shortly before the 'charades' game where Neil and his team impressed us all when they correctly guessed 'Nessun Dorma' in less than 5 seconds. Great performances, if a little marred by the host's 'Giant Structures' entry as a 'famous' TV programme!

Thank you so much to mum and dad, Clare & Chris, Queenie & John for putting up with us over the holiday season. It was really lovely to be able to see everyone and for Max to get to know his cousins, aunties, uncles and grandparents!
