Christine McGuinness has shared her joy as her three children, who have autism, tried Christmas dinner.
The 33-year-old has previously told how the festive season can be difficult for twins Penelope and Leo and daughter Felicity.
Last year, the children had an alternative Christmas lunch because of their food aversion.

Christine served them fish fingers and chips.
At the time she explained: "For anyone who may not understand this, food aversion can be quite common for those with autism. This isn’t lazy parenting or fussy children, this is sensory issues due to their condition that limits what our children eat."
But this Christmas, Christine shared how proud she was at her children's progress.
Writing on Instagram, Christine said: "I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
"We had a surprisingly calm day!
"Leo opened his presents slowly (he still has some unopened and that’s ok).
"Penelope wanted to tidy everything away at 9am (so did mummy) and then spent most of the day in her room and that’s fine.
"Felicity got quite overstimulated and needed some afternoon quiet time (like daddy).
"So I’d say it went well!"
She continued: "Big improvements from their usual chicken nuggets and chips. They didn’t eat everything on the plate but the fact it was allowed on the plate is progress, and they tried.
"Happy kids, happy mummy, happy Christmas."
