    Hi there everyone. :-D I just thought I'd share a few Christmas piccies with you all.

    Firstly let me tell you a little story to explian them all.

    My youngest lad, David, has a partner by the name of Kay who works for Pinewood Film Studios in London.

    She is a trainee film accountant and has just finished working on a film (soon to be released) directed by David Schwimmer called Run, fat boy, run.

    In the film there is a race between a tortoise and a hare. After the filming was completed the cast and crew were allowed to buy the costumes from the film.
    Kay picked up the one in my piccies as a pressie for David's Christmas.

    This a a piccie of the entire cast of the film. Kay is the lass on the bottom right. David Schwimmer is the chap in the middle - maybe some of you recognise some of the actors?

    This is the hare costume from the film that David wore on Christmas day for us all to see.

    This is a piccie of my family.

    Kay with David behind her, Ian (with the white beard,
    Jenny (Laura's partner), Laura, Lynne, (Duncans partner) and Duncan.

    After the piccies were taken David put the hare's head back on and went round to our neighbours with a box of sweets for their son Angus (aged two). Angus was thrilled to bits when the 'Giant Christmas Bunny' spoke to him and he couldn't stop hugging him. I think it's something he's going to remember for a long, long time. :D

    We had a really wonderful day and I hope you all did too.

    Nice family picture. David is so tall It just makes me laugh to think of a great big Christmas rabbit. Aren't redheads the BEST?

    Brown eyed redheads aren't too bad either. I know-I married one.

    Quite a fine looking family you have there Eils!

    Am I the only one who is slightly unnerved by the hare costume? :eek: Great pics, that will be a memorable day I'd say. I shall have to look out for the movie and see if I can spot the costume in it (I'll be hiding behind the sofa of course).

    If you want to be unnerved by a rabbit suit, watch the movie "Donnie Darko" [​IMG]
