Christmas memories

 


B decided to put up our Christmas tree last week then he discovered that some of the lights don't work so he ordered some more online. The decorations are probably over 10 years old so maybe time to buy some new ones at some point. I was surprised 1 of our 4 cats didn't take more interest in it.


And a couple of weeks ago B and I were invited to my oldest son's wedding in Auckland. On the left is my sister, my ex mother in law then me with my one grandchild. She is soooooo cute and I got to babysit for the night while my son and daughter in law went out and relaxed.  Edited to add: there were other family members here, they just weren't in this particular photo.

Linking up with Through my lensTuesday TreasuresMy corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

Great family photo - pity there is a generation missing because it is one to remember. I have one of 4 generations from when i was young. I was the first of the next generation in my paternal family.

That's a lovely photo. A darling granddaughter. Wonderful.

We'd have to get new lights every few years because our 3 cats used to love playing with them. Nice photo and tree. Merry Christmas!

It sounds like B's festive spirit is in full swing! Putting up the Christmas tree is always such a joyful tradition. It's great that he ordered new lights to keep the tree sparkling bright. Old decorations hold so many memories but updating them can bring a fresh touch to your holiday setup.

Sounds like a fun holiday adventure! It’s funny your cat didn’t care about the tree—guess it’s a good thing! 😊 How awesome you got to babysit your adorable grandchild while your son and daughter-in-law had a night out. Hope the rest of your holidays are just as special! 🎄🎉

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on some of my dimmer bulbs. But 10 years! Can't complain about that!

Great memories! My Nieces are all grown up (more or less) so it was a joy to see your family pic - have a very Merry Christmas!

  This sign made me smile last time we were in Taupo. It seems this Black Billed Gull was taking it literally.  Today is Waitangi Day in Ao...
