Special moments xxx

Such a happy girl - always :)  

I swear all my Susie does is smile and sing :)

(oh, and read - so nice to be able to buy her lots of books this year and know she will LOVE them)

Lots of hugs this afternoon to say thank you for gifts from brothers and sisters.  And a lovely big hug from Laurence tonight to say thank you for everything I did today xxx

Rosie had her own stocking of course, but it was impossible to get a good picture of her...it was around this time this morning that I was texting D and was telling him how impossible it is to get a dog to sit still with a santa hat on for a picture :)  

There was no snow here this Christmas Day, BUT, it did RAIN!!!  Hahahaha  +8c this evening and it RAINED!!!  How CRAZY is that?????  We had the heating off all day and the windows open and I was complaining that I was hot all day!  

Didn't seem right without snow though, So I'm glad I have plenty of beautiful snow flakes around my house to enjoy:

I am so in awe of my children and the incredible people they are becoming!!  

Love them so much.  

I am so amazingly lucky to get to spend days like today like them - but not just days like today - EVERY day with them.  

It's exhausting and nerve-wracking at times, but I wouldn't miss a moment for the world.
