Elkie was Very Happy after Finding What Santa Left Her!!!!

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas and Elkie was really excited to find a water slide from Santa on the lawn in the morning!!!! I think he shopped smart at the sales a few months ago!!!!

Lots of fun, good food and chatter was had by all! Everyone admired my Christmas swap Bunny Paulius from Ina and adored Elkies surprise bunny Saulele!!!

There is nothing so exciting as watching a child run out to see what Santa had left on the lawn other than being that child!!! I hope you all had a fabulous childlike chrissy!!

And now on to another new year full of surprises..........:)  Hope it is a good one for everyone....

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xxxxxLindaxxxx

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOOD CHEERS TO ALL!!!

My hubby rang to say he had a parcel from Ina of 'Bears and Roses ' for Elkie!!!!

I had to wait all day to see what was in the box.....Elkie was soooo excited just to get a parcel and then when she opened it she was so very very happy and just loved the bunny 'Saulele' that Ina made for her as a present!!! I too got a surprise to find a beautiful handmade brooch and Chocolate!!

It was Elkie's last day at Kindy and they had a fabulous last week....a ride on a Harley motorbike, a bouncy castle and a visit from Santa Claus...then to top it off a wonderful present all the way from Lithuania!!!
