Bryan and I spent ours here at home with our daughter and grandchildren.
Her husband is in the army and had to work again this Christmas just like last year.
It's such a shame to miss two Christmas's in a row but next year I know it will be extra special for them to have their dad with them at last.
Our New Year will be spent at our son's home with his family.
So we are getting ready to go visit with them for a few days.
Below are some of the holiday pictures taken indoors and outdoors.
The ones of the lake view were taken up on Post Knott a wonderful view not far from our house. It's quite a steep hill to get on top of and I have yet to make it since my breast cancer operation. I just don't have the legs for walking far these days. One day I will though!
The bonfire pictures are a traditional act which granddad loves to do and the children enjoy joining in.
I guess if Bryan were allowed to, he would happily become a pyromaniac as he just loves bonfires.
There are photos of Ryan and Hollie who get on so well as brother and sister you would think they were twins.
Hollie and Ryan took to the Karaoke machine that granddad bought in the Boxing Day Sales.
Once they found the echo chambers on it we were given a world war 2 siren sound repeated over and over until they were banned into the kitchen with it. Lol!
Junior monopoly found Hollie winning twice and some of us becomng bankrupt. Humph!We were treat to a puppet show which they wrote themselves.
All too soon it was time for them to leave but the pictures will hold the memories for a long time to come.
I hope your Christmas was a happy one too.
Since we will be away for a few days over the New Year I just want to wish you all 'A Happy New Year'.
I'll see you all again in the New Year.
God bless.
Love
Jeanie xxx

Oh my, the kids are getting so big. It doesn't take long does it. It looks like you had a wonderful and fun day for Christmas. Family makes it all the better. Love the views from the top of the hill. I got tired just thinking of how difficult and steep that must be to climb.
Oh these photos are so nice. I think those kids really do look like they get on very well. Outdoors and in, thanks for sharing. Now I have got a touch of England in the Lakes for my holidays. Oh I just posted a big photo of Doc on my blog you must look at, he manages to look so young and handsome while actually an old wretch or I mean wreck. I am uploading him tackling Nelson and Coe karaoke for New Years. I can't wait to look at the map! And then mark it on my atlas. Happy Happy Gerry
Great pictures, and glad you had a nice Christmas, the Karaoke Maching is going to be fun.
Happy New Year
