Today is Special! by if1

Today is Special!

307 - For our family it is a very special day, and the reasons are illustrated in the collage.

On the left, it's the birthday of my daughters, who although they were born 8 years apart both managed to arrive on the 6th January. Our eldest daughter is in High Wycombe, but our youngest daughter is here before her return to university tomorrow. Her birthday surprise was to find several of her university friends at York railway station to spend the weekend here, rather than the one she was expecting!

On the right, Christmas again! Many eastern churches celebrate Christmas in early January, and since my father in law is Ukrainian, we celebrate Christmas eve today.

So, back to the celebrations......!
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas -- again :)

Have a wonderful day today and tomorrow! I shared a birthday with my step sister but its quite something for sisters to be born on the same day!
January 6th, 2013  
Very nice. We have similar birthdays in my family as my two sisters were born on the same day 6 years apart and the one sister had two children born on the same day 2 years apart
