Christmas blessings

(L to R clockwise): homemade plum pudding with brandy sauce; a decent posed picture of the troop; 4 stockings over our fireplace; Sean with new head flashlight; Monique's love for puzzles; Iron boy in the making; our homemade X'mas spread with baked ham, lamb and various veges; Sophia's tinkerbell wand; and a rare family shot.

Joyeux Noel!

I trust that everyone had a lovely Christmas; we did. We squished ourselves in church on Christmas eve and sang the same carols I'd grown up yoldeling; it made me a little homesick.

But our far flung families were with us, in heart and mind, during this season. Thank you to one and all who've spoilt our family with gifts galore; the children were beyond excited. The kids were yet again on Saint Nick's 'good' list -- I guess he doesn't keep a close enough tab on them.

I must have been good too. Santa answered my wish for peace, joy and good health for my family. What more could I want?

  2. Good to talk to you and the family on Christmas Day. Like the pics. Getting four kids all looking in a similar direction for a pic is not easy. But then you topped it by getting both yourself and Cameron to do the same. The spread looks too. Old style home cooking. Nothing like it.
