Boxing day....


Hi there fellow bloggers... well those of you that are still around.....
We had the best christmas day... kids loved it, Jack and I loved it. It was so "no-stress" - usually we spend christmas with Jack's family and all of the kids and it is SO busy that we end up a little frazzled... so it was nice just to be quite. I didn't dress the kids until we had to go to my dad's in the late afternoon! We all had a little sleep in the arvo. It was great. I can't wait until next year!!

We have had a VERY quite day today --- I had to take some photos at lunch time - other them that we have spent the day at home.

A new member of our family arrived here today. Joesph the kitten. Little grey and white bubba. I have never had a cat before - my sister sally has always been responsible for all pets in our house as kids... so it is a first! He is cute and em loves him!

The photo of the kids was taken at my Dad's last night. Dad has race horses and the kids where helping him feed them...

My Mum and Dad seperated about 4 years ago.... dad has a girlfriend the same age as my brother.... so christmas tea was spent with Dad and his girlsfriends family. All quite nice but it is a little weird in our family home with a stange family on christmas day... but the kids love 'Grumpy' - so we try to make an effort.

My Mum spent christmas eve here with the kids, slept in their room and had lunch with us yesterday. She had the best christmas also.. kids really make a difference. She had to work in the afternoon (She is a nurse) so we had christmas lunch she she headed off. My little sister Sally also was here for christmas morning and lunch - it was excellent!!

Eating wise was OK - I ate crap - but it was OK as I let myself do it... All the crap is gone from the house now and we are back on the wagon... I had two serves of plum pudding then sent the rest home with Mum - it was beautiful!!

Not sure how many people are left reading... but hope everyone had a nice christmas!!

Hi :o)

Christmas sounds much more exciting with kiddies. The youngest in our family is my sister at 21 years, and our youngest cousin is 15 years. It would be fun to spend Christmas with kids who still get excited about Santa.

Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas and I bet it was great being at your goal weight for it :o)
