We spent a quiet Christmas Day visiting my mum, Nanny Iris who was unfortunately too poorly to realise we were there. The highlight of the day was skyping with Belinda and her family.
Then a much livelier Boxing Day with Chris and Maki and their boys. We enjoyed seeing them and watching the boys opening parcels and playing. 5 year old Chisato loved his robot money box (which actually counts how much money you have put in) and 18 month old Michika had us in stitches with his funny faces.
we got to spend a few days with Lawrence, Damaris, baby Iris
and the boys. Our dogs enjoyed the visit and made friends with
and the boys. Our dogs enjoyed the visit and made friends with
their new Pug Millie. They all got on so well and looked really
cute sleeping together.
The good time we had was somewhat overshadowed by what we found on our return home. Water was pouring through the ceiling upstairs and the carpet was awash!!! It took ages to sort and the new year started with us still on the clean up and then dealing with the insurance company.
Nanny Iris has made a slowly recovery from her chest infection but is still frail.
We have lots of lovely photos from December, some we have taken ourselves and some posted by our family. We cherish them all. This photo of Jayden and baby Iris sums up December for us .... a loving family is so important.
