Today (31st December) we finally got to have our Christmas day with my Son, his wife and three gorgeous grandchildren, my brother and his new lady friend (now fiancée) visiting from China.
My DIL and Grandson were both suffering from a tummy bug, my Son had a migraine so went and lay on our bed the moment he arrived, I have an infected toe which has caused blood poisoning in my right leg and an infected fingernail causing great inconvenience every time I try to do anything.....
Surely the new year must be a little kinder than 2011.
My 2 y.o. GD loved her toy mobile phone better than anything else, even the baby newborn.
The five year old GD seemed less than impressed with the sewing items Grams so lovingly put together for her, even though her mum (DIL) had placed it at the top of her, (GD'S), wish list.
Grandson was too sick to care about anything but told his Poppy the nerf gun we bought wasn't the one he wanted.
At least they ALL loved the reindeer cookies!
Roll on Christmas 2012, I'm going to be ready for that one!!!!
Happy New year everybody, it's 9:00PM and I'm going to bed.
Hugs n love to all, Meganne

We still had a lovely day, but we have so much food leftover because no-one was well enough to eat. I'm going to end up the size of a barn eating all this food. LOL!!!!

78119Meganne, I almost laughed when I read your account of the belated Christmas diner. Almost. It reads like a story on the horrors of family get-togethers! I hope you still enjoyed it.
Happy New Year to you too. Wishing 2012 will be happier and healthier than 2011.
Hugs and love,
Martine

Oh yes Martine, I had a good laugh myself.
Ray and I had put in such a joint effort all day until the early morning, (Friday) to decorate the house, put up a tree and decorate it and make all the special Christmas food, (AS WE ALL DO)
And I was so stressed about having everything perfect.... I have no idea why I was so stressed out for nothing.
I know I never will again. LOL!!!!

64451Meg so glad you got to be with family and have Christmas with them. Happy New Year and I am praying you have a great 2012.
211079And a happy new year for you too. My special wish and prayers for you would be good health. As for your late Christmas Celebrations, at least you have all of your family before this year runs out and a lot of memories you would not have had in a perfect world. Enjoy your new years day.
