Merry Christmas

Christmas has been lovely this year - E was really aware of what was happening as any 3 year old going on 4 would be :)

I broke up from school on the Thursday which meant I had some nice time with E just before the big day itself - C came round on the Friday and we did girly stuff like mooch around the shops in Guisborough and sit in small cafe's drinking hot chocolate with plenty of cream and of course marshmallows yummy yummy.


Christmas Eve was great, we made our regular trip to D, S, W, H and B for tea and then onto Harrogate for the annual christmas carols on the green as W was yet again playing in the band. It was lovely and not too cold this year so the kids all ran round the big christmas tree and the adults all tried to stay in tune with the carols - all good traditional fun - and not too long - about an hour and a half before heading off back home to eave milk, mince pie and carrot for santa and rudolf.

Christmas day was great and due to E having such a late night I was awake before her savouring the once in a blue moon experience just lying in bed in peace :) was funny cause I heard her wake up (monitor) and gasp at santas sack at the end of her bed before hearing a few rustle noises some heaves then some tuts, then feet thundering across the landing to look up and see E beaming at me saying "mummy santa came and left me the biggest sack of presents EVER, I've tried to move it to bring it in here but its way too heave come quick" - then remembering granny shouted up to her also :)

She was really concerned cause I didnt have a stocking at the end of my bed and tried to give me a present from her sack (bless) but I reassured her there were more downstairs...and guess what there was!!!

So anyway - E got everything she wanted - she'd only asked for three things so that was easy, so on Christmas Eve when she suddenly got all worried cause she forgot to ask for something my heart sank so we decided to shout up the chimney in case santa was lisnting - anyway she shouted up that she wanted an Angelina Ballerina Theatre Play Set - thank got this was a surprise present I had actually got her - good job huh!

Anyway I must have done something right this year as I got some great presents - I got a bottle fo Chanel No 5 (one of my Favs) a new DVD player for in the lounge from my sis and brother in law (so those who used to come round and were subject to watching DVD's on my bed you can now sit on the sofa (unless of course you prefer the other option tee hee) and the most fantastic wellies from D,S, W, H and B. All I didn't get was that prince under the christmas tree :( maybe this coming year huh?
