Christmas Day!

Had a leisurely start to Christmas Day - we'd visited Martin and Pete for the exchange of gifts and seasons greetings on Christmas Eve until quite late on which made it a late night for us while waiting for lads to settle. Thankfully we'd not got a lot to bring down as their main gift was a PS.3! which, as you can see below, they are starting to guess after upwrapping a present containing "games"!!

Its not often you get it "right" but when you do, you are rewarded with a reaction and expression that makes it all worthwhile! This year the lads were delighted with their gifts which included, for Matt, the highlight of a box set of "Friends" dvd's off his Uncle Martin!

Bertie got all excited! he kept diving in amongst the discarded wrapping paper looking for "mice" and tearing about like a mad thing! Here he is sat under the tree waiting for something to happen .. (he didn't have to wait for too long!)

This continued after Uncle David visited bringing a pair of remote controlled helicoptors! (we nearly lost the light fittings a few times and I think the excitement was a bit too much for Lilly, at least!).

Inevitably the morning ended with the cat being SICK all over the place before retiring to her usual place on top of the shelf over radiator .. ..
