From last year...to this year.
Just a beautiful Christmas day, sharing with family and friends and someone very small and special that was in my tummy this time last year...
Mama (92) and Papa (99) shared the Christmas feast with us. It's very difficult to communicate with him now, but his presence was surely there and appreciated. Sahra gave the Blessing on the food for the first time this year which was beautiful.
'Blessings on the blossoms
Blessings on the roots
Blessings on the leaves and stems
Blessings on the fruits...and on our Christmas dinner...'
It was just perfect.
We didn't have presents this year that took over. There was the perfect amount. Si got a lovely wooden blocks/abacus from Mama, mum paid for the hammock and there was a wooden caterpillar/bell and small wooden ball which she adored. Sah got a scooter from us, mermaid, rainbow dress and things for the pool. From mum she got a sparkle pony, wooden doll with clothes to dress it...
Ben got some clothes and some beer from my grandma. I got a beautiful heart necklace from Ben, frangipani (my flower I love) doona cover and ipod speakers from mum. Darling Mama and Papa gave money...I bought a treadmill with it...what a gift.
Sah's just going to be heartbroken when I pack the tree away. Mum gave her presents from the sheep and dogs in lieu of Santa and she was overcome with magic. Everything's about 'magic' at the moment. For Si, everything's about standing up and drooling lol.
I was thankful that Ben had Christmas eve and day off...he ran himself ragged preparing. <333 I am thankful for all he does with the two girls, every day.
