FNWF win, Xmas with my Grandsons.

Yesterday I had a parcel arrive from Cheryll from Gone Stitchin'.  I had won a beautiful Patchwork and Quilting Journal by joining in Friday Night with Friends earlier this month.  It is a wonderful journal which helps you record everything you do to make a quilt. As well as recording the fabrics used with a page for swatches, you can work out the cost, what pattern or design you have used, and lots more, also a page for the final photo.  Thank you so much Cheryll for this book, I look forward to recording my quilting journey in it from now on. Below the parcel and book.

Today, my eldest son brought my grandsons over, he has had them for the weekend so they could see all their Brizzie relatives and get their Xmas presents.  My turn came after lunch.  I forgot to take a photo of their gifts but they were very happy with them as their main present from their parents was a green scooter so I got them a helmet in bright green to go with it, new pj's and a few DVDs to watch on the holidays.  They also got some new goggles so of course we had to have a swim to try them out.  We had a couple of hours in the pool, then a few nibbles and it was time for them to go back to Scott's so they could try out their scooters.
Tom is the eldest and Jake. It's hard to think they are brothers as they are so different. Tom likes his hair long and Jake short. Tom eats like a bird and Jake loves his food.  I made them a bag with Reindeer noses (8 Maltesers and 1 Jaffa).  Printed the labels from  the net.  They are really fun to do.

The Hulk on the left and Spiderman on the right. The masks have faces on them and the boys put on their scary faces.
 So that was my day, the presents have been wrapped, some have been opened, I got to have kisses and cuddles from my boys, the Xmas food will be bought tomorrow and Christmas Eve we will have our Christmas Day with all the trimmings.  Christmas Day there will be just 4 of us here but that is okay as Chris and I will be able to celebrate our birthdays with a bit of a relaxing day and hopefully eat some leftovers so we don't have to cook.  Hope to post again but may not get time in the next couple of days so I will end with :-

WISHING ALL MY BLOGGING FRIENDS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
 MAY YOUR DAY BE SPENT IN THE COMPANY OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS
AND MAY SANTA BRING YOU LOTS OF GOODIES TO ENJOY.

Till next time......   Hugs.......
