After a feverish night, I was pleasantly surprised to wake not feeling worse than yesterday and just a tad better.
Teen Two came in around 7.30am to open his stocking and it was 9am before Teen One surfaced.
Hubby brought me a cuppa a toast in bed, and we enjoyed a slow get up whilst Teen Two cleaned out his animals.
By 9.30am we were enjoying watching the Teens open their presents, sat by a roaring fire.
We then opened ours, and I was thrilled by this lovely painting Teen One did for me.
I had said I wanted a black and white Scripture verse for the conservatory, and she knows I am often attracted to drawings with apple trees, but had no idea she was making it for me, so this is perfect!
I have a stash of black frames I have been collecting to create a gallery wall out there, and I can't wait to see it framed.
She also bought me the little bird wooden plaque which I had admired in a shop a few weeks ago....without me seeing she sneaked away and bought it!
I was even more taken with it when I read on the back it was made by individuals with disabilities.
Hubby had bought me another lovely wooden mushroom to add to my collection.
My late neighbour's son gave me this swish Ted Baker vanity case, filled with lovely goodies.
I have only ever window shopped in Ted Baker's!!
That was just a few treats I was blessed with, but above all I felt blessed with feeling a little better!
Hubby still isn't over his cold/flu/cough virus that started almost three weeks ago!
For lunch we went to Grandma's where Hubby's brother and sister and families were there.
We exchanged pressies before they went to see their inlaws, leaving just my family of four with Grandma.
We had a quiet afternoon watching Cinderella, with a spot of knitting for me.
After a light tea it was back home to feed the animals and then watch Call The Midwife in bed with Teen One whilst Hubby and Teen Two watch Dr Who on catch up.
We have so much to be thankful for in an unsettled world.
Sounds like a lovely day - glad to hear that you are on the mend x
