HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY BIRTHDAYS.

A VERY HAPPY, HAPPY, NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.


I Hope you all had a wonderful Chistmas & New Year with your loved ones. I know that most of you will have read Shannon's posts, so you know we all had a wonderful time over Christmas & New Year, plus we've had a couple of birthdays as well.

Shane, my dear SIL, had his birthday on 2 January.You will know that Shane is a cancer survivor & we are so lucky to have him with us. Our darling granddaughter Jessica (she prefers just to be Jess), who turned 15 on New Year's Day. Seems like only yestereday I had to race to the hospital just after midnight on New Year's Eve to collect the two eldest girls, as there had been no time to drop them off at our house. This, mind you, after a couple of champagnes, so no driving. Have you ever tried to get a cab on New Year's Eve? Anyhoo, all went well & now she is 15. Trouble is, this chick is getting older too (lol).




This is Jess on Christmas Day, looking surprised. We did have a get-together for her at Shannon's house on her Birthday, but guess who forgot her camera. She is growing up to be a beauty like the rest of my girls.Thought I would add this pic too, just because I love it. My DH & our eldest granddaughter, Rebecca on Christmas Day. She will be 19 in a few months & is at University studying Nursing.

Well, it's nice to be back. Looking forward to another year of blogging with all my sweet friends in blogland.

Hugs, Coll :-}
