Thank you for all of the special birthday wishes. Lily had a lovely day with a Dora kitchen from us and a dolly in a pram from the IL's. Oscar and I made cupcakes and we had candles. All good in the scheme of things And it was the summer solstice and a lunar eclipse so candles and wishes for the new year. I certainly hope it is a good one after 2010.

Me - finding it all a little overwhelming. But we will survive. MIL not coping either so together we are just muddling through.

I will probably be back in beforehand but if not have a beautiful Christmas. Make it special. Make it about family. Let the little things slide because in the scheme of life they are unimportant. Enjoy the smiles from the child and the hugs that only little arms can give. May you be blessed with everything your heart desires and gifted with everything you need.

And a special thank you from me to you. Without your love and support I would be in a much darker place. I truly am blessed to have you all. Merry Christmas
