Find Ancestors

Good morning whoever is about :-D


Thank you Dea for that breakfast - just what was needed after the feasting of yesterday.

Also, thank you to Jonesey for the extra hands - they will certainly come in useful I can tell you :-D <3

After church, we went to our son's for Christmas lunch which was as delicious as always - he's really got into the swing of catering for large numbers. There 17 of us, aged from 4 to 77 and everyone got on just fine :-)

We came home in the afternoon because my OH was beginning to flag, so it was a nice quiet evening in front of the tv for me. :-)

Hope everyone else had a good day - however you spent it.

Good morning all :-)

A light breakfast today I think - croissants, danish pastries, lots of toast with various spreads and pates to coose from.

Enjoy...............

When do we start playing Charades?

Wearing my paper crown from the Christmas cracker......I think there was a whistle in there as well but I seem to have misplaced it. :-S

Mo <3

Well, I think that was just about the best Christmas lunch I have ever cooked - It was delicious !! and I am now VERY full !!! ;-) :-D :-D

Grandchildren have been and gone and now it is time to relax !

This time last year I didn't think I would see this Christmas but it seems that I may yet have a few more to come ;-) :-D

Thank you so much for the prezzie Jonesey, you put a lot of thought into chosing it and it is indeed just what I need <3 - I will put it to good use on New Years Eve when I am having the grandchildren for a 'sleep over' ;-) :-D :-D

Hope you are all having a good time,
