The kids were up at 7 am and we'd told them not to wake us before then. With only having had a few hours sleep (we were decorating and wrapping), Warren and I were ready to go back to bed!
The Stocking Elf brought our stockings through to the living room.
Cullen finally got his Nintendo DS (from Santa)
Jordan got his Lego (from Santa)
The rest of the morning was spent playing with gifts and I started on a orange duck dinner for everyone. Because Cheryl and the kids were arriving from the UK later on, we decided we'd have a light meal and have the big Christmas dinner the next day.
At 2 pm we piled into 2 cars (our van only seats 7) and drove to the airport to get the family. The girls went in 1 car while the boys went in the other one and we yacked the whole way home.
We had a 2nd round of opening presents with Cheryl and the kids think it is a fantastic idea and want to add it to our Christmas traditions!
After a meal of lasagna, salad and garlic bread (a weird meal for Christmas Day...at least for me), we put the 3 little kids to bed and sat down to watch a movie.
It wasn't 10 mins before the Williams' clan were asleep (Lauren went a little longer than everyone else and is proud of it!).
