Yesterday we spent Christmas Day with my mum and dad. Spending time with my parents is a real blessing. You see my parents usually live in New Zealand and Christmas 2016 was our first Christmas together since 2010.
I'm so pleased we had an opportunity to spend Christmas day with my mum and dad. I'm not sure when or if we will ever do this again. I sure hope so but it could be many years in the future. We had a lovely day and had a Christmas dinner at my uncle's home.
Sylvia got plenty of fabulous toys including the Torch Dragon and the Disney Moana figures. She was so super excited and had a fantastic time playing with her new things.
I wanted to share some pictures and record this day as it was a special moment in our lives and something to remember and cherish. Time with family is precious and sometimes we don't realise what we have until it's gone or not easily accessible.
I got some lovely gifts myself. John bought me some boots and a bag for carrying my medications. I got socks and foot cream from my grandparents, A unicorn bag and cup from my blogging secret Santa and a few lovely stationery items. I also got the Hairy Bikers recipe book which looks fab.
We had a lovely day and now Christmas is over we are going to enjoy the rest of the year. Sylvia will be playing with her toys for the next week. My parents are coming to stay with us in Lancashire and I will be working with John to finish setting up our home as we moved a few weeks ago and it's taken a while to try and get organised.
I'll be back in January unless I have anything I'd like to share before that point.

What a lovely Christmas! I can't believe it's been 6 years since you last spent it with your parents. I'm glad they were able to spend Christmas with you guys. Looks like you all had a great time!
It has been a long time and it was wonderful to see my mum and dad.
What a great Christmas you had. Spending time with family during the holidays is something I look forward to myself. Good luck in setting up your new home. I recently moved as well so I know how hectic it is trying to get organized after a move.
Thanks Terri. I'm excited for the future.
How nice that you had both your parents for Christmas! My dad came and my brother so that was very enjoyable.
