Daughter and family were here for opening presents. I’m happy to say my gifts were well received. I was really worried about the karaoke microphone but it just needed to be charged up and it worked great. My granddaughter loved it. That and the coloring book were the big hits with her. My grandson liked the remote car but loved his Xbox card. But they both went nuts for the cash in their cards. I always worry I’ll disappoint them.

My granddaughter is 4and a half, she made the Christmas cookies with just a little help from her mum. She so independent.

It was a very nice Christmas Eve. Tomorrow we tentatively plan to go out for a meal, but I bought and picked up the makings for a 2 person brunch. Wow, it’s a lot of food! So we’ll see. Tomorrow night Call the midwife holiday special is on, we’re looking forward to that.
