Christmas Day is here – yippee.

With family staying over we are all sleeping in different beds. I go to wake Tom up and his first words are “Has Santa arrived yet” His face is a picture when he sees all the presents under the tree. Its fantastic, he’s so excited.

With all the family around there are lots of presents to open. Both Tom and Grace love it.

We enjoy a family dinner before settling down to watch the Snowman and Arthur Christmas.
After opening more presents with Great Gran we enjoy a buffet tea. After the kids are tucked up into bed we play another round of Logo’s and Scattergories.

Merry Christmas Everyone x x

Its raining again today, so we stay in and play board games, and games on the wii.

We also follow Santa on Norad.

Family arrives and we enjoy Chinese for tea. We settle down with the Elf’s early delivery of new Christmas PJ’s and Books. The kids were very excited.

The days are zooming past, and today was as action packed as the rest

We had friends come to visit, and after a light lunch we head into Notts to the ice arena to watch a local production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The kids loved it and followed the story in amazement. (only laughing when people fell over). For tea we headed off to the Harvester. Fab Day x

 (Ive included my ticket too)

Today was wet, cold and grey. We decided to spend the day cleaning, washing and tiding-up to get ready for our xmas guests. Tom played all day, and even took time out to post xmas cards to our local neighbours (in the rain).

While ironing we even got to watch the Christmas Carol movie with Patrick Stewart in. fab. x

Its the last day of work and School today before the festivities begin. woohoo.
Toms picture was taken at the before school club he goes to. Im sure I took the same photo last year. I will print it out for my Diary Page. x

Philip bought Tom and I tickets for coffee, mince pie and the chance to meet Santa at John Lewis after school/work. It was great. The atmosphere was electric with excitement, and Santa came around to every table to have a chat. Tom was very pleased when Santa gave everyone an early Christmas present. Special Memories are days like these.

Tuesday is about a little time for me. Phil was working late, so Tom and I made tea, chilled out and watched Scooby Doo. After Toms bedtime I had a little me-time catching up with my Diary. Im loving it again this year and im a little proud that im not too far behind. And its true, Good Mums have sticky floors, dirty floors, and Happy Kids. x

Today I went back to Leamington to meet up with my family and remember mum. It was so lovely to catch up with everyone, have a giggle and a lovely meal at Seasons Restaurant.
