The family with Dad
The family with Darren
Wow, what a great present!
Ben, Harry, James and Ellie
The gingebread house.
Home late on Wednesday night and then running around on Thursday getting the last minute bits and pieces done. Dragged Aunty Sue to about 4 shops and I should have just bought what I was looking for in the first shop. Friday we spent the day tidying as we had a few friends round for Christmas drinks and finally got to bed at 1.30 in the morning.
Christmas morning, Harry first came in at 5.30 and I said back to bed, which he did but I thought at this point it was 6.30. So when ellie woke shortly after I then realised it was only 6.30 at this point. We didn't make the beach this time, but went to the civic centre and met up with all the family and had a lovely breakfast. Harry and Ellie opened a few presents in the morning and then opened the main ones when we got back from breakfast. We had a short swim stop in the middle, and then finished off opening the presents.
Nanny Jen, Kong Kong, Nanny Pat and Sarah popped over about 5 and then the kids had more presents to open. Harry finally got his surprise present and was over the moon, as you can see from the pics. Ellie also got baby alive which she was really chuffed with.
Boxing day was spent having a quiet drink, and a case of ruskis later (and the rest) we got to bed about 3am. Kids had another late night and a swim at 11pm, and am sure we will pay for it tomorrow!
Hope you all had a lovely christmas!
