Christmas 2023..... a quiet one this year....

 I was lucky to have help with my decorating this year....

Corinne and Anthony came to assist me.....

I had to have the decorations up this year just to enjoy a happy space.....

Christmas lunch was at Heather's....

only a small group of us this year....

Heather's lovely decorations....

Didn't seem the same without Gavan's bah humbug grizzle that he usually does.....

I made these cute turtles for Colby....

Caught up with him a little after Christmas but he did seem to enjoy playing with them....

I do hope everyone had a great Christmas....

Toodloooo......

My birthday with the family.....

 It was a lovely day with the family.....

a tough day for me without my Gavan to help celebrate my birthday......

We did have a good day.....

Relaxing, eating and laughing....

Watching Colby enjoy the park....

Lovely gifts from everyone....

This beautiful  diamond ring was given to me by Heather, Liz and Corinne.....

It would have been our 60th Wedding Anniversary on the 21st December so these wonderful people decided that Gavan...Dad would have given me this if he was here so they did it for him....

So very thoughtful....

I can't tell you how much it meant to me.....

Always in my heart.....

An outing with my girls....

 A fun time out together.....

A ride in the Brisbane Wheel.....

An outing just because.....
