23rd December – Our Christmas Eve

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!!!
