We had a lovely, relaxed Christmas this year. A lazy time in the morning unwrapping presents and playing with new toys and then off to spend the day at my parents. We had the most delicious lunch prepared by mum which included all the traditional dishes mum has made at Christmas..there is something very comforting about tradition. Not all things have to change!
This was followed by an afternoon sleep for Ben and Heidi joined by Pat and I ....we could have easily slept through till the next morning.
Boxing Day was at Pat's brothers house and was lovely and relaxing too although I was slightly more tired after staying up late playing with my new present making 2 pavlovas and a chocolate cake.
But most of all it was so much fun watching the kids enjoy themselves. Ben is really starting to understand the idea of Father Christmas, singing carols, all the decorations and the presents! Christmas is magical when sharing it with the 2 little ones.This was followed by an afternoon sleep for Ben and Heidi joined by Pat and I ....we could have easily slept through till the next morning.

Preparing a snack for the reindeers....serious stuff
Some late night wrapping
Stunned at how all the presents arrived under the tree
Ben quickly recovered to a state of excitement in unwrapping his presents...was very cute handing out and watching us unwrap ours too. Heidi was just as happy to sit on a box!

Do you need some help with that Papa? Apparently I used to do the same thing at her age!
