I told my eldest 2 that they were not to open their stockings before 6am. I was awoken on Christmas morning by Child #2 pottering about on the landing. I thought that maybe she would get her stocking and go an open it but it was still dark so I checked the time...6:01am. She'd clearly been awake and waiting for the clock to strike 6! Despite this, I didn't hear any stocking opening and she just seemed to go back to bed. I thought it was odd but went with it and attempted to sleep again. Then I got a text at 6:29:
"You awake?x"
I knew then that more sleep wasn't an option. That would have been ok if I hadn't had to stay up until 1am on Christmas Eve to play Santa to my youngest who claims he still believes. I'm sceptical to say the least but went along with it for one more year. So, we were all up and dressed by about 7am this year ready to open this lot...
Child #3 was about to burst with excitement...
All for this....an Xbox!
The older 2 were only marginally less excited too...
Its never too early for a 'Onsie' either apparently, I think this was taken at around 10:30am. (Note child #3 in the background, on his xbox, where he remained for most of the day and even managed to get refreshments delivered to him by passing siblings on a regular basis. He was evicted to the portable tv setup after tea with a frown!)
I cooked...and I did really well too....
I was, however, still eating it until yesterday...it was delicious though.
So that was that. It was a lovely relaxing day, where we all just did whatever we liked. No arguments, no tantrums (those were saved for the following days) and no crying if only every day at Vivod was like that!
I think the Angel may have had one too many though...
