Ballard Xmas 2011


Well the Ballard Xmas was a lovely day again this year...
perfect weather & perfect company!.  Mind you, it is still too hard to catch up with everyone in the short amount of time that we have together.  Ultimately we really need a couple of days to really  have a good ole' catch up with everyone.  One thing the Ballards are never short on, is a good yarn!!  We definitely know how to talk!!  The kids are all growing up so fast....and so are we...







this year the girls received a lovely keepsake box made by their grandmas with photos of themselves and their families decorated over the box.  They loved them...(nice idea ladies)...



And the eldest great grandchild was welcomed into the world of adulthood by receiving, for the first time,  her very own crochet hand towel...a beloved Ballard tradition now lovingly kept going by Aunty Mickey.  
Che' was chuffed!!
And I am devastated, because I misplaced mine...no seriously, DEVASTATED, I have to wait a whole
year for one of these...and it's really needed by the end of the year.  The best gift ever, I tell ya....




A big thankyou to Mickey & Pete for their wonderful hospitality...hanging out with the two of you feels just like home... x
P.S Now Aunties... don't be angry at me for using that classic shot for my 
blog banner....it had to be done!.
Seriously...if that is not Merry & Bright, I don't know what is!!.  Love you all dearly xx
