What a beautiful day we had. It was quiet, just us, and the children loved their gifts, their lunch and the cruisey time we had together. Sadly, we didn't have the camera out to take photos. Silly isn't it?I should have some lovely photos of the kids opening their gifts. Especially Charlie who couldn't quite work out what was going on, and wanted to open everybody else's presents!
Our tree was a bit scrawny. Had to find it at the last minute in the bush on our block. It did the trick, and at night, with the lights on, it is fine.
Pretty glass baubles bought new this year to adorn the bare branches of our decorative tree (also used at easter time).
Solar lanterns. So pretty, but we had such overcast days that they didn't work terribly well! We need some sunshine.
My beautiful Christmas treat for myself: A wonderful blue hydrangea to brighten the front doorstep.
And how the laundry has mounted up! Looks like I've got some catching up to do. Taking time off for the festivities has left at lot to be desired on the domestic front...I'd better go and hang out a load of washing. At least these ghastly Easterly winds we've had for days on end will dry the washing...there's an upside!
I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas too.
