CHRISTMAS has come early for one delighted family, thanks to our Bonnie Babies contest.

Scores of entries were received for this year's fun competition, with Barrhead News readers getting the chance to vote for their favourite tot in recent weeks.

And, now that all of the votes have been counted, we can declare Roman Michael Harper as our winner.

He was nominated by Lynette Harper, who wins our £300 top prize.

Runner-up is Kali Smith, who was nominated by Laura Anne Gordon, and third place went to Ada Bell, who was nominated by Jodie Bell.

They win prizes of £150 and £50 respectively.

Our thanks go to all those who took part in this year's contest.
