I snapped these photos Christmas Eve afternoon before leaving for our Sons house...
You can see out the LR window how foggy it was!!
Had a great time there...Miss V got lots of fantastic gifts from her Aunts and Uncles♥️
The only downside was the horrific rainstorm we had to drive home in...
But...everyone arrived safely...thank goodness!
Christmas Day was spent here at home...with all my kiddies and their significant others!
Miss V...unfortunately...was running a fever and was not quite her perky self...
But I must say...for a sick child...she did pretty good...what a trooper!
Plus...she was surrounded by all her favorite people♥️♥️♥️
The meal was delicious...desserts were fabulous...wine was excellent!! hahaha!
We all exchanged wonderful thoughtful presents...and I am a truly happy Mother...
Nothing like wonderful children..{no matter how old}...to make a Mother proud♥️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay...before I start crying...enjoy the rest of the Holiday weekend...
We hope to take a drive to the dear old cottage tomorrow...and take Miss V with us!
Weather is unbelievable....10*c...sunny today...nice!
Cheers! :o)

Sounds like a wonderful couple of days. Same over here...crazy Christmas Eve weather and a fun Christmas day with our little family here. Yummy food, great gifts and good wine. haha.! We're just taking it easy today and will nibble on leftovers as we get hungry. I think I enjoy the day after just as much as the big day. Hope V is feeling better! Lots of sickness going around down here...thankfully we've avoided it so far!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy.....
DeleteDoing the same here!
Had turkey,bacon and tomatoe sandwiches!
Probably turkey,gravy mashed potatoes for dinner! Hahaha!
And....perhaps some more wine!
Miss V has an ear infection. :o(. Hope she is on the mend♥️
Enjoy your weekend!
We finished off the wine last night. ha. Guess I could always open another bottle...lol....
DeleteIt's very grey again here but not too cold. I just might get out and plant those bulbs today.
That would never stop me, Betsy!
DeleteIT was sunny here...11*c...I think you were gonna get the rain before us!
Did you plant the bulbs????
Roses and crystal and plaid - oh my! Such beauty surrounded by the warmth of those you love, who love you. Nothing better!(smile)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Dixie...
DeleteHope you had a great day!
Are you pooped? hahaha!

Just enjoyed a turkey dinner tonight (Boxing Day). Hope Miss V is better, our Little Pumpkin had quite the cough and when we did FaceTime with family in BC t. had a cough too ... it
ReplyDeletes a kid thing, good thing they are all away from school for awhile to let the germs vanish. Such mild weather, walked around garden in a big sweater today ... I think the grass needs cutting!!!!
I'm sure you had a good drive and visit at the cottage.
It seems a lot of people are under the weather....
DeleteNice day here today....should be even warmer down at the cottage....
Enjoy your evening!
Lovely photos ! Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas to . It was awesome here today spring like . Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine! Enjoy the nice weather....gonna end soon!
DeleteIt sure doesn't feel like the Christmases I remember as a child! But hey, it sure does make travel and shopping easier.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are perfect! We had a hard time just keeping the tablecloth on the table with our three little ones. Ha ha!
You have bags of gifts and we have boxes. So much fun!
:0)
It was fun!
DeleteIt was a very nice Christmas.....
Enjoy your evening Martha!
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a wonderful time with your family ~ it is heart touching that they are so affectionate and love their mums and dads.
My son, 23, always says every time I see him, "I love you dad!" and that makes me feel so good ~ I know my daughter loves me a lot too ~ we are all very close and I have invited their spouses as son and daughter too andd they are very warm . . . .sorry Linda, I expect you are reaching for the tissues . . . . lol
Lovely set of Christmassy photos and you decorated your house beautifully . . .
I expect it is too cold for flip flops at the cottage . . . lol
Hope little Miss V gets better soon from her ear infection.
Little Peter was the star of the show today for a large Boxing Day (day after Christmas) party and he was shoeing off his new car and behaving rather like a NASCAR driver . . . . . lol. I got a lot of amusing video footage.
Speak soon . . . :)
Hi Eddie....
DeleteSounds like you have lovely children.....and Peter of course♥️
We call it Boxing Day as well....
So....what was your favorite present?
Yes, I am blessed with lovely children, just two, although Maria and I always imagined we would have three.. . and Peter of course is delightful and I believe he was crafted in Heaven and I think Maria might well have had something to do with that somehow . .
DeleteInteresting you call it Boxing Day ~ some of your cousins in the States don't know what it is . .
Regarding presents I told the kids not to be too extravagant since I already have almost everything. But I am very pleased with two jumpers I had and a Hamper of Goodies which will be demolished fairly quickly by a certain extrovert ex ambulance man with a very good appetite for the finer things in life. . . . lol
. . .and what was your's ? . . . :)
. . . and I just love all those stockings and lined up . . . :)
DeleteI made those stockings!
DeleteStarting with Lissa's first Christmas....40 years ago!
I made the others as they were born....sadly....could not get the quilted gingham to make Miss V's....
My favorite present?
Can't decide....I will think...oh...probably a wee digital camera my boyfriend bought me....
I love to carry one when we walk the beach in Florida....my big one is too clumsy....
My small digital is broken....so....he got me a new one!
Will share a pic soon:o)
Hard to believe its over already eh? Your tree and table, etc. is very pretty. Enjoy the weekend! xx Pam
ReplyDeleteI know! So fast this year....I got that tablecloth last year for $5! I love it!
DeleteBeautiful photos capturing the spirit of the season. Mom, Dad and I were all under the weather so we aren't celebrating until tomorrow. Had a great day, though, with friends on the 24th. Hope Miss V feels perky soon.
ReplyDeleteOh Suzanne....sorry you are not well....
DeleteWe are also still coughing....will probably go to the Dr next week, if not better...
Enjoy your meal tomorrow!
all look beautiful! Only Im sorry Miss V was sick, poor dear! but Im sure she enjoyed the party!
ReplyDeleteHope she feel well soon!
She was the life of the party...as always!
DeleteWe are picking her up today, and driving out to check out the dear cottage!
Wonder what she will think of it with no flowers?
She will be impressed ! But enjoy the same. Hope she is OK and happy!! hugs!!!!
DeleteShe loved it!
DeleteDidn't want to leave......
How beautiful it all looks, Linda, and I spy Miss V's Very Pretty stocking :)
ReplyDeleteMy spy in Ottawa mentioned the warm weather - all the snow melted again! Enjoy the cottage, and Happy New Year!

Whereabouts in Ontario are you?

ReplyDeleteOh...me too Amy!
DeleteHow about you?
Hi Linda - I had no doubt you would have a beautiful Christmas. Your home is so festive and I love your table. We have the same weather here; no snow and mild. I love it. I guess we don't sound like good Canadians. haha! Today we are just relaxing and watching movies. Took Kane for a nice long walk. Hope all is well at the cottage. Enjoy your evening. Deb
ReplyDeleteHI Deb...yes...the cottage was great...Miss V was so excited!
DeleteSpent some time on the beach...inside, she found her bike and ball...had a wee bit of a hard time getting her to leave :o)
Enjoy your evening...I am opening another bottle of wine...you??
oh... heartwarming!
ReplyDeleteand so beautifully done in that beautiful home of yours. xo♥
Thanks my dear Tammy....we had a great day! But...I did not take any pics...but my Ryan did :o)
DeleteEnjoyed your lovely photos and blog, glad you had such a nice family time, you deserve it! This boyfriend's family in Collingwood have also been sick with the flu, so the festivities have been postponed until the 31st! Amazing how many people we saw at the movie theatre on Xmas day! But we've spent some time at my daughter's and with friends, so still lots to be grateful for. And I wanted to wish you and your family a happy, healthy 2015. :)
ReplyDeleteHI Miss Hester....
DeleteOh gee...lots of bugs out there...we are still coughing a wee bit...Miss V with an ear infection...:o(
But...she did great today...was as good as gold on the drive...Nana brought along a few toys and books...and we sang!! hahaha!
See you soon...Happy New Year to you and your boyfriend!
Awww...such a sweet and heartwarming post, Linda! Sounds like such a great time. And yes, nothing like our wonderful kids (and families) to make the holiday special.
ReplyDeleteHi Martha...I hardly recognized you, with your new do! Very nice!
DeleteSorry to read about the fever.
ReplyDeleteShe is much better....thanks for your concern....
DeleteJust catching up and I read you're headed back to the
Deletedoctors. Yikes. Seems like it's going around, big time
this year.
Lovely pictures and post of your wonderful days. Lucky you! Hope Miss V is better.
ReplyDeleteShe is.....thanks Devon♥️
DeleteSorry I haven't been to visit sooner. I got a horrible cold and along with a wonderful Christmas Eve and Day with family the kleenex box was close by and the day after Christmas...stayed in bed most of the day.
ReplyDeleteYou pictures leave me breathless....sorry Miss V was under the weather too...they were giving me Champagne and orange juice and told me it would be good for my cold...it tasted so good, I didn't care if it helped...another glass please. HaHa
Sorry you were ill....
DeleteWe are still coughing here!
Get better fast!
ooh, love that cosy armchair next to the window and love the green Christmas balls :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dez....
DeleteIt is cosy in there...
I try my best....
