End of year Meme

Dec 26, 2012 11:22

Christmas day was awesome! I spent it with mum and dad. We vegetated in front of the television in our pjs from 5.15 in the afternoon. There were no regrets for doing this!

Today, we are preparing for family coming to visit at the end of the week. I am putting up the end of the year meme now in case I don't have much time to do it while the family is here.

I really hope everyone had a great Christmas!

There were no babies but there will be next year!
