Let's Talk About Xmas

 Xmas Eve and ED, Steve son, was visiting. I swear he gets bigger every time I see him, he barely fit in the chair, but he's a great guy and we had fun. I prepared a small buffet, mostly cold food, but I made some pigs in blanket and a partly home-made ham and cheese pizza. I took the cold food into the living room and warned them to watch Jamie before going to get the hot food. Half the pizza was cooking in one side of the air-fryer, the pigs in blanket in the other .. and the other half of the pizza, cold and raw was halfway down Ross' throat! Had I not caught him I would have blamed Sammi, after all she's Asha's granddaughter!!!!
Mum was here on Xmas day, I'm not that great at a lot of things, but I can cook. It was so nice to see Steve eat a full Xmas dinner, he wasn't well enough last year or the year before, but he was first to finish this year. The day went by quite well, I was up at 7am to get the dogs sorted, then back to bed for an hour or so with a cuppa and Facebook whilst Mr S snored! I finally drank the bottle of Asti that Linda bought me last Xmas, god I'm such an alcoholic aren't I! LOL We had lots of lovely gifts and I'd like to thank everyone for gifts, cards and well wishes. I also had some very strange gifts, it makes you wonder why someone in your family would give you bath salts ... when you haven't got a bath!  
Boxing Day was just stunning, warm sunshine - just amazing. Another lazy morning, well till Ian got here and we did some hide and seek training with Meerah, it was fab. The afternoon walks were amazing, honestly I had to take my coat off!!!!
