Christmas 2008

25th December 2008

The started off at 7am. I heard Ayla come out of her room and walk quietly down the hall. But the excitement of the fact that Santa had been was all too much - she came bounding back down the hall and up our stairs in a flash - she sounded like a heard of elephants. And when she yells at us that Santa has been - that was enough for Zoe to be up too and out to see what all the comotion was about.

Santa left them a bike each and filled their santa sacks. It wasn't til they decided to take their bikes outside that they found they had been left a trampoline too!

Gemma rang at about 7.20am thinking that giving out the parcels would be well and truely over - but it wasn't - so we had to open Gemma's presents while she was on the phone and we all loved our gifts.

After they had a bit of a play it was time to get dressed and out the door to Grandpa's for a coffee and a quick get together and then down to Nanny and Poppy's for breakfast. Ham on toast and Pancakes with raspberries and strawberries - YUM!

We stayed for a while before it was time to head home to get lunch organised! There were 19 for lunch and my idea of sending everyone home by 3pm and curling up for a nana nap didn't work - we were all having too much fun and everyone chatted with Grandma on the web cam before the present sharing!

After everyone left we sat down and watched Momma Mia and then sang the ABBA Sing Star!

What a big day!
