Christmas Day – 1 day early

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.
