Christmas Day at the cottage


Our Little Cottage in the snow













the snowy lane a welcoming sight on Christmas Eve
























Our Tree, Santa has arrived


















the Stockings are hung in the 'Doorway' with care...we have no fireplace or chimney inside



















Alan wearing a few of his gifts, new hat and scarf and head lamp for those evening strolls in the park













My surprise gift. I opened the box to find clementine with the tag on it, and the ring box.

Yes the answer is yes.

now we have a wedding to plan, we will have a barbecue July 29th and a wedding will break out.
casual with family and friends.







this is my beautiful ring



















Gavin and I checking out a gift














Alan and Les checking out more of Alans gifts
lighted reading glasses and a light for his keychain. It is very dark here at night.












Alan's new hammer, hoping it will make putting the siding on a little more enjoyable. He decided to use it as a scratch card scratcher...I'm not sure if he won anything.














the boys in our Christmas morning tradition of mince tarts, kindereggs and scratch tickets

no great amounts won here














a new flock of sheep
























Our engagement is blessed by the heartshaped potato. It was in the bag of spuds Alan was preparing for Christmas dinner along with prime rib, yorkshire pudding, brussel sprouts & carrots.

Isn't that Grand.






Domenic, Harold's son came to visit and got to open his gifts too.














the boy loves yorkshire pudding.

With his daddy Harold and Auntie April.

what a sweet heart he is.










Les Konked out














Alan Ellie cat and Gavin after supper just relaxing











the flowers I did for the candle holder that didn't get lit.. Oh well maybe new years eve.


It was a wonderful first Christmas at the cottage. We love this place even more each day and this summer will be so grand with all the visitors and not so much work.

Inside this winter we will be doing the finishing work around the new windows and doors.


So that is it for now from Sanddollar Cottage...bye for now
