Josh woke up at 7am - very respectable. He came running into our bedroom, dragging his Santa sack behind him and then jumped up into bed with us and proceeded to open all the little gifts left by Santa - and Santa was very kind this year so Josh must have been a very good boy indeed !
After that we raced upstairs to see just how hungry Santa had been and Josh was so delighted that Santa had eaten the S - A - N ... and had left the T - A as a thankyou - what a polite Santa !! Malcolm & Jill and Grandma arrived at 9.30am and then the present frenzy started - Josh was VERY spoilt and received some beautiful gifts. It is just so lovely to 'live' Christmas through the eyes of a child. Josh was a real delight to watch. Openng so many presents can be quite overwhelming at the time ... but we know that over the next few weeks, Josh will truly discover and appreciate what amazing gifts he has received - so thank you all so very much.
And Mummy is SO excited - she received the camera of her dreams - the Canon G10 - so watch this space and see what photos she produces next year - mmm, I may even go on a photography course!!
We all then sat down to a Christmas breakfast of fresh fruit salad & yoghurt, croissants with ham & cheese and lemon & blueberry muffins - yummo, blow goes any diet !
A few hours to then rest up in the afternoon (mmm, hardly !!) and then our guests arrived for the evening - Grandma, Paul G, Johnny & Maritess, and Bart, Fem & Soul - so in all, 10 of us for the 'full works' with turkey and all the trimmings. We had a really lovely evening and Josh got to bed at around 11pm and us at around 1.30am - everyone is going to be very tired !
And the best compliment of all was from Grandma .... she thought this was one of her nicest Christmasses, she enjoyed staying close to home and felt really included by everyone involved in the day and how special that was for her.
