Happiness is.....

We got to see the swans on our walk today!  I thought for sure they would fly south for the winter but they are still here! 

nope, they dont go away! 
Our loch and canal are full of them... it's so funny to see them waddling down the High Street, but im always afraid that they're going to get knocked down by some boy racer or someone from out of town who doesnt know that they like to go for a stroll in the worst places.   :\\\'(

Oh... ummm... happiness is... pear cider.

Happiness is... Having my hubby here for Christmas this year.  It's Christmas eve and all the presents are wrapped, the meal is planned and ready to go and I can't wait to see the look on Paige's face Christmas morning!

You're sooo ahead of the game.  I haven't even begun that ardious task yet...ugh. 

But my happiness tonight is the mulled wine I'm about to make to get me through it!!!

Being with my family...

The Dyson and I just spent the last hour together cleaning.  I adore her. 

Snuggling on the couch with my husband watching Christmas movies. It's so nice to see him and have him home!

Not having to spend 12 hrs at my control freak sister in laws house tomorrow. We are arriving for desert (pudding). Yes I have to take my shoes off (hate that) but at least its only for a few hours and not a marathon day! 

Making a nice Christmas lunch (dinner) for us before we venture off! 

Southern Comfort...mmmmmm.

Southern Comfort...mmmmmm.

Ohhh, good idea, I have some as well here.  Man I loved that stuff years ago.  (Have not opened the bottle I've had here for a year, bought it and then got knocked up)

Caramelita's are in the oven!!!  I haven't made them in over a year...me so excited!

After a huge Christmas meal, Roy and I took a 2 hour nap, it was truly relaxing.

having great inlaws. FIL tries to give me a cuddle and I tell best not because I'm ill...he says "oh rubbish I'm getting a hug" and then phonecalls from the great grandparents on phil's side who wants to speak to me to ask how has christmas been for me and happy upcoming anniversary..aww Phil's family is lovely!

Not getting stressed on Christmas day.  First time in years!!

Having a very supportive dh  who doesnt mind having an American style Christmas dinner today with my American friend & her dh. 

Finally getting to watch SOAP (pure cheese and I loved every minute!)

On our walk this afternoon we saw a big giant Homer Simpson santa on a house front!
