Hello Lovelies,
Christmas came and went in a blur of busyness and laughter .
I love the Christmas eve feeling of anticipation. The moment before guests arrive is rather special........
Though the boys are getting older they are still happy to put out a mince pie for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph before going to bed :0).........
On Christmas morning my red tulips looked stunning on the kitchen windowsill..........
Love the little nest box, bought for me by the boys.I did drop a lot of hints :0)
I also loved this butterfly fridge magnet from Mum............
Love these glossy Holly berries dripping with rainwater..........
The ground is saturated and my walking companion loved wading through some very deep puddles........
We stopped of to admire some pretty and festive Holly and Red Carnation wreathes in the church porch....
Soon it was time for all of us to head to my brother and sister in laws, where there were more pretty Holly and Carnation displays.........
I think the whole family feels fortunate that we can all sit down together and enjoy a wonderful home cooked meal together on this special day...........
After Dinner , along with the high tech play there was also some good old fashioned fun...........
It took me back to childhood parties :0)
There were also some retro presents.
My niece had an etch a sketch......... I always wanted one of those.....
Think it even came with the same songs mine did :0)
I've actually been at work a lot over the past few days (only got Christmas day off ) but it hasn't stopped me reading the whole of this book............
I saw it praised on a couple of blogs and asked for it as a present............ I wasn't disappointed............. It's a heartwarming true story and it really made me count my blessings.
I hope you didn't mind me sharing some prezzies here.... just thought you lovelies would be interested.
