Christmas Day

I was really exited for the kids to see their presents...they came into my room at about 7.30 to show me what they had got in their stockings.

We then went downstairs to start the opening of presents. Glen was there so that was nice for the kids. Kaitlyn's first present to open was her new doll - a baby Millie, it cries, laughs etc....but most importantly it has a dummy....Kaitlyn loves dummies, whether it belongs to a doll or another child, they always end up in Kaitlyn's mouth.

James opened his hot wheels racing track....it's a dad job to put that together so me and the kids moved on to more presents.

Mum, Dad, Craig and Stacey arrived to see the kids and for Christmas breakfast. We had the full works...sausage, bacon, eggs, beans, tomatoes, toast...yum. I very rarely have a cooked breakfast...but you really can't beat it. The kids didn't think so though...they swiftly asked for cereal....more sausages for me then!

It took most of the morning to open the presents and get ready and then we all went over to Mum and Dad's for Christmas Dinner.

Dean, Anne and the kids were already there. Mum had just had her living room and dining room wall knocked down so there was plenty of room for the table to be set out. I love Christmas dinner - and mum always does a good one.

Carly, Paul and the kids had gone out to the Harvester for their dinner as the in laws were visiting - but they arrived at mums for about 2 ish and not long after we started opening more presents...ones for the kids just kept coming & coming....I couldn't keep track after a while.

Later we played some Abba singstar and rockband world tour (or whatever it's called)....I just want to sing SOS. James was a bit unwell so ended up falling asleep on the sofa...dressed in his new power rangers outfit (courtesy of Auntie Julie). Kaitlyn was hyped up on 15 hours sleep and half a tin of Celebrations so was happy to stay up slightly later than usual.

All in all it was a very fun day!
