Christmas Eve together
Presents under (beside) the Christmas tree
Chaos after opening the presents

Wonderful Christmas lunch made by Justine (mash taters, green beans and roasted corn-flake chicken)

Loads of fresh goat meat!

Camping at Naivasha after Christmas:

Thank you Carys and Pounds for the new tent!

Huge, dominating fire ants on my sock
A barrel of Colobus monkeys watching

Tent with a closet
