WAKE UP!!! IT'S CHRISTMAS ALREADY...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone in my family, and everyone in my 'blog family' too.  I hope you   all have a wonderful day with those you love.

ABOVE:  this is the first Christmas for our two youngest granddaughters, Sienna (above with her sister Haylea), and Emily.  I am sure they will both be surrounded by love today.


With any luck Brylee and Griffin have managed to sleep in for a little while!  
I will be back later on with a few photos before we head off to Christmas lunch at Stew's sisters home.

ABOVE:  the morning so far.
Just Stew, Brylee, Griffin and I.
None of our 6 kids, they all have others to be with.
How times change.  I suppose this is what happens as your family grow up and get their own little families eh.


ONWARD...

 ABOVE:  my Ambrosia dessert.  
Was lovely.

 ABOVE:  Christmas lunch ... Kiwi style.  Laid back, no fuss.  

ABOVE:  Griffin... only had chicken!  Lots of chicken.  And followed with a small helping of dessert.  The person in the orange top in this photo is a long time family friend of Khady's and us.  She did not want to be on 'the internet'.  


We are now just relaxing and trying not to fall asleep!


End of Day:  a long, tiring, but lovely day.  Leftovers for dinner.  And now it's late and we are all heading off to bed ... exhausted.
nite nite.
