we have had a lovely christmas. family trickled in christmas eve after we had done more crafting and baking. we had had a fab time. we played games, ate [but not to excess, so have loads left!] drank – but not alot! and generally had a great time.
the kids were all happy with their presents, and some kits and crafts to get going with.
Chris’s family came over boxing day – particularly good that we had made all the food in advance as it made it much easier. i haven’t seen his nephews for a while, and they were lovely. all went really well.
bB slightly chippy as emily got a ds for xmas and can’t read, so i think it is a ds for her next birthday!
but she was really ecstatic with her bike! [when i flickr i will add the fab bike pic] we found that all that like-a-biking paid off, as she doesn’t need stabilisers [which is good because we haven't bought any]
having 10 on christmas day seemed v relaxed though, and no-one being ill and breaking arms really helped.
i wasn’t in work much on boxing day – also helped
the kids played really beautifully with each other
we enjoyed playing settlers and nordic ticket to ride, and a number of games from my mum.
and i loved having time with my happy girls.
yep, a merry christmas!
Glad all went marvellously :- )
So pleased for you all, those going to plan days really help matters don’t they!
Sounds lovely – though I don’t know how you do it with all those people! And shannon also v. jealous of Jade’s DS – so I think she will be getting one for next b’day too!
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year – it sounds like a lovely time was had by all – I like the idea of a coffee table for the lounge…. I may have to think about that!
thanks everyone. greer at £7 it couldn’t go wrong!
