We started off the morning around 7.30, we couldn't hold the kids off any longer. The were sent immediately back to bed at 3.45 and then again at 6 but not before Javien and Masie got a peek at the tree, little monkeys. The atmosphere was pure delightful, Grandma and Papa haven't never seen all 6 kids together before so this was a rare treat for them which they thoroughly enjoyed. We had to control the situation slightly when Hailey just started opening presents, any presents. So with a little order we all torn through paper, played, laughed and played some more.
Kristi and I got the BEST gifts for each other, (oh I need to find my other picture of my first present, which I opened on Christmas eve!! What!! She said I could Mother!!) Anyway, I searched and found a British flag bag and got a cute little purse to put in it and with the help of my lovely assistant (My Mum) it was filled with English coins. My present was so thoughtful and so perfect for me. Kristi sewed me a camera strap for my large camera which is gorgeous and so comfortable. That wasn't all, it makes me smile just thinking about it, she then sewed me a fabulous apron with cute layers and gorgeous fabric. We were SO happy!!
Javien and Masie, DS buddies.
SPOILT!!! All 6 kids got some sort of handheld computer, well Masie got a CD player but here she is on her DS and she was loaded up with new games from Santa.
Masie and Auntie Kristi making a yummy desert, which she wants to make again and again.
Of course we very much missed our family back home, we all received lovely gifts from across the ocean and Nanny put together 6 bags of yummy English chocolates for the kids, they were delighted, over the moon!! They dug straight in, Kobe had eaten his first one before I could switch the camera to video, Video will follow shortly (hopefully)
Merry Christmas!!!! Wow that post took a long time.
