Christmas Day and Christmas presents.

Hello Friends!

We had a nice Christmas and I hope you had a nice one too!

A family one! This year we were all together with one more grandson William 10 months old.

We exchanged a lot of presents!

I received a perfumer console to make my own perfume.

Some ready made perfume by Mr L and some puzzles.

One of my puzzle was bought by my daughter in Dubai when she visited her brother and the other one in London by my son without telling each other

They had the same idea ( how strange!) but the best present was having our children with us !

Tomorrow, I will have a break ! Go to the hairdresser early morning.

 Today, Grandma went grocery shopping ( a lot!)

Christmas is over and we had a nice family Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

We received quite a lot of Christmas presents 🎁!

We both had some Agatha Christie’s puzzles and we started one yesterday afternoon.

My daughter helped me a lot, the goose was well cooked and the cakes ( buches) delicious. I had no time to take pictures, as  we were very busy with the children.

Today, they are gone to Rouen and this afternoon after tidying and cleaning the house I am resting before baking muffins for Maxime, cranberry muffins, radins muffins and chocolate muffins. Better go too bake before they come back!

Building a car 🚘

Hello Friends 

This long weekend we have been working hard!😓 

First we went to the toy shop before the crowd ( it’s done!)

Then we had a big voucher in a shop we had to use quickly and as it was at the same place we decided to get a new washing machine and a new dryer ( ours were old and we wanted the new machine to use less electricity) and as we will have the children two weeks, many washing and drying with young children it was worth it.

Santa will arrive before Xmas for Maxime for this toy otherwise he will have only 3 days for using it.

Our children had in the past an electric car, but now they make noises, lights…

Yesterday grandma and grandpa have built the car!

When you see your grandchildren twice or three times a year we want to have a special Xmas time and see happiness in our grandsons eyes!

Today, it’s a bank holiday and I continue my painting while grandpa cleans the garden.

It’s a very dark day and we must have the lights on.

I finished one of the armoire side, but there have been an « earthquake » 😂 the lighthouse moved and is dangerously bending! I was stressed and did not pay enough attention !

Now it is nearly all painted and next week I must apply the protection and it will be finished, but I will have to sew the curtains which is not my best hobby!

See you soon have a good day.
