This week I'm grateful for..... family

I've been looking for a bit of a theme for my blog, something to force me to write and give me a little inspiration.  I've read a few "This week I'm grateful for" posts and am blatantly stealing the idea. So here's my first "This week I'm grateful for" post:

This Week I'm Grateful for family

 As it gets nearer to Christmas, and I await the arrival of my daughter home from Uni and my sister and family from W.A. I can't help but be glad we are a somewhat functional family. Christmas is a time we all get together and just hang out.   Xmas day we have the arrival of my parents, aunties, cousins and their families, a total of about 25 people for lunch and the same again on Boxing and the conversations often start where they left off the year before.

There will be a little sadness for me this year as my daughter Lauren will spend her first Xmas in the UK, though I'm feeling very grateful for Skype.... we're going to have present opening with her.

All in all though, I'm very grateful to have such a wonderful family.

What are you grateful for?
