well here we are, in between Christmas and New Year. Kelly and Alex came back with a real Christmas tree on Christmas eve, they were giving them away at the shop down the road! So we put th parasol lights on it and it looked great!! We had a very good one this year, it was just the 4 of us for dinner but at 5 pm Hannah came, then we watched her open her gifts and we could open the ones with her name on, at about 6.45 Alex came, so more opening of gifts. Everyone did really well, we got lots of things for them as couples for their bottom drawers. Kelly went up to Alex's and had more gifts, she came back Boxing Daythe real christmas tree
Kelly packed her bag Monday night and they went to my mum's. At 6 am on Tuesday they were up and caught the bus to London, this was a complete surprise to Kelly organised by her lovely fiance! They checked into a hotel (that he had booked) and walked round the city, met up with his parents who had been there for the Chelsea match the day before, had lunch with them and were taken on a tour of London. Last night they went to see the Lion King, the musical. Kelly called and said she cried when she found out, cried when it started and half way through! Barry keeps going on about wanting to see it so maybe I should organise something like this for him? I am busy washing now and getting the place ready for New Year's Eve as we are having a party here with a Murder at the Panto theme, the characters sound hilarious and I can't wait as we are ALL dressing up for it, we don't usually bother too much but have gone to town for this one and I think it's going to be a good laugh, will have a few drinks before playing it!! So, have a very happy new year everyone!! x
