I have created something for 
Happy New Year to everybody and I hope that you all had great Christmas and New Year celebrations.We had a wonderful time with family ,but didnt it all go way to fast.We have been up to quite a bit over the last week so have lots of photos for you but first of all I must mention that before Christmas I recieved a christmas blog award from Maree over at On my verandah, thanks so much Maree sorry I havent posted about it before now,I forgot to put in my last post ,probably something to do with the fact that I did that post about 1AM christmas morning. Anyway pop over to see Maree at her blog she always has lots of interesting things to share.
Now for some photos of our Christmas Day,I always plan to take heaps and heaps but never seem to do it ,to busy enjoying myself probably.Here we are preparing the Christmas Lunch
Here is my nephew and his son participating in the traditional cricket game
My sister in law and my little niece trying to pull one end of a christmas cracker
my sisters granddaughter isnt she a cutie
My sister, BIL and their DIL
and some photos of a couple of the presents recieved, this was Hannahs gift but we all had fun using it, mmmmmmmmmm lots of chocolate.
and finally these were gifts from Hannah ,slippers she made from the pattern in the Sew pretty christmas homestyle book
so much more to share but willl leave that for the next post
Yum, a Chocolate fountain! Have you seen the episode in Vicar of Dibley where Dawn French puts her head into a larger one of those...so funny! Love the slippers, they are great and all so different!!
Sounds like a lovely Christmas!! Cathyx

Tell Hannah that the slippers are gorgeous!, I especially love the ones in paisley with the rick-rak - two of my favourite things!
I have to admit I had a chuckle at the photo of your nephew and son playing cricket - I just love the 'Ladies Man' T.shirt lol!
