Christmas time.........

I have three male first cousins....and they and their families are the most precious people to my sister and myself....we have been as close as siblings all our life...I don't think the 5 of us have ever had a cross word in all our lives....this was a cousins party including a sleepover this past weekend..

My sister surprised all of us with matching Jim jam's!!! My beautiful sister is 4th from the right. I am 1st on the left..the rest are wives and children.....the greatest people...how perfect is the plaid!

The lads!   We had such a glorious time....with huge glorious game of " sardines" to end the night....then a huge breakfast the next morning!

So much fun with people I love so much!  

Cats........:)

I love an old fashioned tree...

I've been collecting these all my life...

I love the big old lights as well...they just take me right back to being about 6 years old...

I just can not believe Christmas is almost here!!!!

It has just happened so fast this year...... I still have quite a bit to do and am expecting about 18 for Christmas Day!!!!  Looks like we are in for quite a storm on Christmas Eve and day...wind and rain..oh well a cosy day for cooking and eating!!!

Might as well just take it in stride..today I must come up with a few Christmas desserts......and wrap and iron the tablecloth....

Have a lovely day all!!!!

Getting ready for Christmas......... :)
