A Thoughtful Gift

My Secret Santa Nancy was kind enough to send a gift for my granddaughter. I mentioned it in my last post but here is a photo of her receiving it.

 This is what I sent Lynn as her  Secret Santa 

Thank you secret Santa Nancy

Thank you so much Nancy http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com.au for my beautiful pin wheel apron, the chocolates and the nail file and of course the gorgeous decoration.

Little Evelyn received her doll but I am sure she was looking for its's face...??  No doubt this is what you were going to tell me about. We have had a wonderful Christmas Day it was hot and sunny and we swam and ate and played tennis and cricket.

Merry Christmas

I

Merry Christmas to all .

Christmas Books

Eleventh hour sewing to finish off a Christmas book for someone to read under the Christmas tree or on  Poppy's lap.

It has been a tradition in my family to put a variety of Christmas story books under the Christmas tree leading up til Christmas Day The children love it and it also saves the Christmas Baubles on the tree...lol.  There's nothing like reading to little ones , it's truly quality time for adults and children.....It's never too early to start. Merry Christmas!

Never too Young for Christmas

One day I hope this will be her job.... we had a fun time.

Hope you are enjoying Christmas preparations with your loved ones.

Happiness is ...

Happiness is Poppy with his little girl and their sparkles or as she calls them her "pretties" and me being able to watch them.

Happiness is Poppy and his little girl reading her new piano book and me looking on and listening.

A sad day for Australia

                       I cannot believe the events in Sydney yesterday.

                     Sympathy, thoughts and prayers for those 

                     hostages involved and their families.

                    Thoughts and thanks to the brave police who 

                     risked their lives to end that terrible siege.
