This morning we were up nice and early again as we needed to get Daniel and Emilie to their dad’s for their christmas with him and we needed to get in the car for our journey to London to the home of football. Just in case there is any confusion we were on our way to White Hart Lane to see the mighty Spurs play Aston Villa.
This visit to London came about as PKD received some tickets as his anniversary present from the lovely Alli and was quite chuffed with them and it gave him his first opportunity to wear his new Spurs shirt!
It was a reasonable drive till we got near London when it got a bit busy and as a result we missed kick off but fortunately we didn’t miss any goals. The Spurs goals came from the well in form Jermaine Defoe scoring 2 cracking shots from brilliant assists by Dimitar Berbatov. A shambolic and fouling Gareth Barry got one back but that was all they could manage as deadly Ledley King and Michael Dawson shut them out for the whole match.
It was great to be back there and even better to win, looking forward to getting down to the lane again in the near future as PKD has been away too long!!
A nice drive home followed and a very early night as both PKP were very tired after a long day of driving…
To make up for the early rise of “Christmas” Day Dan and Em managed to stay asleep until 9am this morning – what a result!!
According to reports Josh was awake at 6:30am but did actually go back to sleep.
We spent the morning playing with our toys and reading our new books. Mummy even managed to help Dan build a lego model correctly!
We spoke to Grandad David as well to make sure that he was having a nice Christmas Day.
In the afternoon we went to see Grandad and Pauline, we took some of our Christmas presents to show them.
Whilst we were there we got some more Christmas presents as Father Christmas had left them at the wrong house!
After an afternoon of exterminating and pram pushing we made our way back home and Dan & Em sat and watched Cars before retiring to bed.
It was strange not having a normal Christmas Day – but it was better because we all got to open our presents together!!!
As anticipated the day got off to a very early start – rather surprisingly though the first pk awake was actually Daniel as we usually have to drag him out of bed!!! He was awake at 5:50am proclaiming that Father Christmas had been and left a stocking on his bed full of presents – Daddy (Tim) sent Daniel back to bed and told him to try and go back to sleep for a bit – he tried really hard to be quiet (so quietly Daddy (Tim) and Mummy (Alli) could hear him from their room) whispering “wake up Josh Father Christmas has been” Needless to say by 6:30am all 3 pks were awake so Mummy (Alli) and Daddy (Tim) had to relent and let them start opening presents!
After the initial bedroom present opening we all went downsatirs to eat our breakfast, yes we made them eat breakfast before they opened their presents. After breakfast the 3pk dragged Uncle Michael and Auntie Alison out of bed and then we went to see how many presents Father Christmas had left.
The lounge was chock a block with presents and the great present opening started – we were very nearly lost under a sea of discarded wrapping present.
The main present that we got were:
Daniel – Doctor Who Dalek (or Garlic as pk2 calls it) and lots of other Doctor Who goodies and Lego
Emilie – Sylvanian familes and houses
Joshua – Thomas The Tank Engine train track and trains and engine sheds and of course his 1st football kit – needless to say it is a “mighty” spurs kit!!!
pkd – Lego Darth Vader Tie Fighter and a “mighty” spurs shirt!
Mummy (Alli) – Nintendo Ds (Daddy (Tim) is trying to get her into gaming) – she actually really likes it especially as it is pink and she can relive her youth by whiling away hours playing Tetris.
After the present opening Uncle Michael and Auntie Alison went back to bed as they were exhausted – either that or plain lazy!!!!
The 3pk then spent a good few hours getting all their new toys out of the boxes and playing with them, Mummy (Alli) and Daddy (Tim) were busy preparing our Christmas Dinner.
We sat down for our Christmas Dinner at 1pm and thanks to M&S it was a lovely meal – Emilie particularly enjoyed stuffing a whole profiterole in her mouth!!
After lunch it was more playing and the pk played and played until bedtime – when they retired to bed exhausted!!!
We won’t be far behind them.
Well what a busy and exciting day we have had today, well it is our Christmas Eve after all – we are celebrating a day early so that the 3pk can open their presents together!
The morning got off to it’s usual start of breakfast and playing before Bethany, from next door arrived as Mummy (Alli) and Daddy (Tim) were looking after her for the day, and then we had a visit from Auntie Beverly and Uncle Simon, we hadn’t seen them for a while so the 3pk were all very excited and Emilie even ran to give Auntie Beverly a kiss and a cuddle – which is quite uheard of!
Shortly after Auntie Beverly’s arrival some more guests arrived – Uncle Michael and Auntie Alison!
After lunch Emilie and Joshua went to bed for a sleep a they were exhausted from the mornings activities. When they woke up we went to Cinema to watch Happy Feet – it was really good, Emilie enjoyed dancing to all the songs in the film. Daniel and Bethany enjoyed eating popcorn and Joshua sat quite nicely for most of the film.
After the film we went home and had our dinner and then it was time to sit and watch The Snowman. After this film had finished it was time to leave some refreshments out for our expected visitor.
We left a carrot and some milk outside the front door for the reindeer and we left a mince pie and a bottle of Stella for Father Christmas. We also made sure that we left the magic key outside the front door so that Father Christmas could open the door and deliver our presents!
We then had to go to bed – Very Excited!!!!!!
For the record a couple of hours ago Daniel reported that he had heard a bang on the roof and had to pretend he was asleep as he thought it was Father Christmas!!!
This morning PKP took PK3 to watch Polar Express at the cinema. pk3 likes to watch The Polar Express on DVD when he is at his Nanaâ??s. It became apparent during the film that he enjoys watching it a lot as he was reciting the lines along with the characters in the film!!
PKP enjoyed the film and the popcorn!
PK3 sat very nicely in the cinema and only had to make one toilet trip despite having quaffed half a litre of lemonade before the film was even halfway through!!!
