Merry Christmas & a Better New Year

Love is...enjoying The family together at Christmas
Christmas Day
A lovely day, as it was Bonnie's turn to host Christmas.  Must say it was nice to have a break from hosting this year with all the goings on with my family. Great news as Colin has had a good report from the consultant who is pleased with progress even though it is slow. Slight decrease in prednisone helps. 3 days of parties and I am looking forward to a break. Too much eating, cooking,  shopping and desserts and late nights.  House is in disarray so next few days will be working to get us back on track.  Nick turned 30 on Dec 27th and we even went for a swim and the warm weather was welcome.
2015
This year hopefully won't be repeated and it is still hanging in there with it's persistence to be a pain in the  b...  With my dental bill the week before Christmas of $440 and climbing, our dishwasher flooding on Christmas day costing $270 and also Nicks dishwasher costing us $150,  I  am praying we get through to 2016 without any more surprises. Still we saved on Colin's haircuts as he only needed 2 this year! Though we can't recommend the reason why.
Colin twisted his ankle last week and we can't do our walking and the consultant said he wasn't to hurt himself dancing at New Year either. Boxing day sale parking was handy as I produced the disabled card as he was on a walking stick.  All better now so no more cheeky parking.
We have had serious illness,  loss of a job and business, a bone marrow transplant,  retirement and pension collection,  a graduation and new job,  an engagement,  4 family members with health issues and plenty of drama in  between.  2016 can be as boring as it likes.  We have a wedding to sort out in February.
Happy New year to all our friends and family.
We are off to party tonight.  Yayyyy

Big thanks and LOVE to all our friends and family who have supported us this year. 
Couldn't have done it without all of you, no matter how small or big your help was.
LOVE LOUISE AND COLIN
