Christmas Eve

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse "

Well, not quite in our household. You could definitely hear Joshua and feel his excitement! We had a few visitors in the early evening which added to the excitement - Aunt Rosie and Aunty Jellybean - and so the giving and receiving started early. Certainly Aunt Rosie got the 'bulls eye' as Josh leaped into the air when he opened her parcel to reveal the latest Star Wars Lego Game for the WII.

Cuddles and gifts with Aunty Jellybean

A WII game from Aunty Rosie - that has got to be the best gift !


As soon as they left, we made SANTA cookies and cut up carrots for the reindeer. The final touch was a tall glass of milk.

And then at what would usually be bedtime, we jumped into the car in our pyjamas and picked up Grandma and then drove into town to see a few houses that were lit up for Christmas - one in particular was very special. An ice-cream on the way home and then it was time to get to bed as by this stage it was very late at 10pm, dark and definitely time for Santa to start his rounds - oh the excitement !

Good night everyone, sleep tight, dream of Santa and Rudolf and his team of reindeer flying across the night sky ... and let's just see what surprises there will be in the morning.


Wow, this house looked amazing - and the colours just kept changing !
