Christmas Day

What a fantastic day, what a long day. It started early with William opening a few of his presents from Santa's stocking in our room. His 'Ho Ho Ho's changed to 'Wow Wow Wow's and just didn't stop. His smile and excitement was just so wonderful and genuine.
William would only open a single present at a time (though a good thing) and then go off and play with it, it has left plenty of gifts still wrapped under the tree for another day. We'll get back to those soon.
We had a couple of hours to cook puddings & desserts ready for our trip over the road to the neighbours for Christmas lunch. I can't remember how many dishes Lisa prepared but I cooked a lemon meringue using mum's old recipe. I couldn't wait for food now, and it didn't disappoint, we just ate and ate and ate even more.

Cranberry chutney on Brie on toast, or Oysters as a starter followed by the aussie traditional prawns and Moreton Bay bugs. The roast was followed by home made Irish Cream, more alcohol and then our puddings, and they were good even if I do say so myself.

We may have been exhausted and feeling like a lay down by late afternoon but William was still going for it like a little energiser bunny. The children were on overdrive and loving every minute.

I'm sure Lisa will have plenty more to write once she's sober.
