I wasn’t expecting to get up early, but apparently my body remembers previous Christmas mornings, lol… although it was 6:47 am when I woke up, for many years it was often around 4… and I would eventually start banging pots in the kitchen to encourage all of the sleepers to wake up…

around 7:30 I got up, made breakfast and then read for a while in the living room enjoying the tree lights…

there were matching pyjamas, calls, texts, visits and naps throughout the day… the naps may have had something to do with the 6:47 wake-up, lol…

spaced amongst all of that were relaxing dinner preparations… beautiful mashed potatoes, delicious stuffing and tasty gravy went perfectly with chicken, turnip, ham, and previously homemade cranberry sauce…

I was absolutely spoiled with a myriad of wonderful gifts…

a lovely day… amazingly blessed, as always…

special day…

every morning is a new surprise in the garden, although tomorrow I had better get out there and water and fertilize everything…

we have a bit of a tradition at work… we celebrate birthdays by circulating a card for everyone to sign and then pick up a rose for the birthday person… it is always fun to try and find a way to surprise them, because everyone knows the plan… today we had a lovely gathering and gave a colleague a beautiful orange rose…

we got some great pictures of the group and I got a couple of nice shots of the rose…

used to be George’s job to pick up the roses for me when I couldn’t get to the florist… now I put on the big girl pants and get them myself, lol…
