Father Christmas has been...

Of all days for the Parker household to sleep in!!!! We finally woke up at 8.15 with two very excited little people wanting to see if Father Christmas had been so after I put the turkey in the oven (which I was meant to do at 7am) we went to check out the front room and we were not disappointed. Daisy could not believe that he had left snowy foot prints and was very excited to see that she had got her Barbie bike. They loved opening their stockings and all Daisy kept saying was "wow, thank you, he remembered." After the excitment of the stockings we moved on to open our presents to each other, Daddy was very pleased to get a camera for when he goes snowboarding as well as socks, t-shirts, aftershave, snowboard mags, etc. Sammy got some Thomas the tank engine toys and I got some interior mags, cookery book, earrings and a keyring.

Tim parents, his sister and her family and my mum arrived at around midday and it was another round of present opening... I could get used to this! It was then on with the dinner which was a success - thankfully.

The afternoon was spent watching the queens speech, relaxing in front of the tv, more eating, going for a short walk. The little people had a fantastic day and were tucked up in bed nice and early so Daddy and I got to lay on the sofa watching tv all night and eating chocolate.
