and there were NO family fights! That has to be a first - maybe because we didn't spend much time at my mums! Every year, either my brother, or my SIL, has started an arguement with me - it's unbelievable!! One year my brother told me I was a lousy parent, and had done a shocking job of raising T'Keyah, who was two and a half at the time. She had a slight toddler meltdown, nothing major - and that's when he gave me that snippet of information - twat. Ha, he ate those words though - (he'd also told me that T'K's behaviour was because of my slack raising of her, and that his child, who at the time was 5 weeks old, would *NEVER* behave like that - really, really stupid words to utter, considering his children's behaviours are 10 times worse than my kids!). Every year since, either one of his kids has had a major fit right on meal time, and I just smile to myself. You know, for a lawyer and a doctor, they can be pretty dense!
Anyways, Christmas is done and dusted for another year - too much stress and fuss for my liking sometimes, but on a plus, my Dad and stepmother loved their frame of things from their place in Karitane (oh, and the ride out there, all alone........BLISS!). Girls both got spoiled, and had a great day. I've done another challenge, two to go, three days left - I'm sure I can pull it off.
