Phew........

Thought I was never going to get this up and running. Have been meaning to create a blog for some time now but have just never got round to it ( and I am a bit of a techno phobe and try to avoid doing anything like this usually!!!!) god I sound like an old women dont I !!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the festivities. We have had a fantastic christmas. We had 14 for christmas dinner which I was a bit nervous about. A few nights before I went to pick up my turkey from our Butcher, I was having dreams that my turkey wouldnt fit in the oven. Luckily it went in perfectly although did have to have a few drinks to steady the nerves when thought everything wasnt going to be ready in time. Hubby was there to calm me down though ( and to pour some nice strong vodka's) So far no one has complained of food poisoning so it must have been OK although I always find when you cook for yourself it doesnt taste as good as if someone else cooks for you.

I love the run up to christmas more than the actual day itself, although all that might change next year when Archie will be older ( he's 17 months just now so not grasped what its all about ) We have a few traditions that we always try to stick to and they are 1. Always watch its a wonderful life & 2. to go to the christmas service on christmas eve. We used to go to midnight mass but since Archie came along we go to the earlier service which is usually about 5.30pm. I am going to try and add some piccies but if I cant get them on then hey ho will try another day as getting a bit tired so going to get my nice new jammies on that I got from santa and will hopefully have a bit more to say tomorrow x
