Christmas is coming the turkey's getting fat....!


Our huge Christmas lunch


Our lovely tree only it's mother could love!


Rudolf cupcakes were a big hit at the market today.

Happy Christmas to you all. I posted a small number of Christmas cards this year and with the price it cost will be posting even less next year! Thank you for all the cards and prezzies we've already received these make us smile at a time when we'd love to see more of our families and friends. If anyone is planning a surprise visit to Harvey this Christmas can you let me know then I can have the beds made and extra baking done!
Our turkeys are now huge. We weighed the biggest one at 35lb a couple of weeks ago so when he's all dressed I'll need a big tin for him! David is working on his plucker for the lovely job this week!!!!
The markets are improving especially the themed cupcakes are doing well. I have had lots of orders and hope to have a big stall on Christmas eve to sell the rest of my Christmas cakes. I'm thinking of taking some time off the market after Christmas as it is very quiet and some weeks it isn't worth going and all the preparation time too never mind the stall fee, petrol and ingredients. It will also be nice to have a Saturday family day for once.
We got our Christmas tree this week. I answered an ad on kijiji offering free trees. Everyone laughed when I brought it home!!!! It isn't groomed at all but we love it.
The kids are at school till Friday lunch time then they get 2 weeks off for Christmas and so do I. David has some days off between Christmas and New Year so hopefully we can meet up with friends and if the snow settles long enough spend lots of time outside.
