Merry Christmas:)

Christmas was difficult last year because it was Alexa's first Christmas since her father died. This year promised to be easier but then her pet Chinchilla died last night...ccertainly didn't need that. Nonetheless, we are looking forward to a very laid back celebration this year...no turkey and gravy and all that work this year I'm baking a ham because it's easier. I even briefly considered using paper plates to avoid dishes but felt guilty leaving my beautiful Spode Christmas china unused for another year.

This year we will eat, drink, play Raving Rabbits on the Wii, open gifts and most of all we will be together...just waiting for Ben!

Happy Holiday's, I hope its a good one!
