Toast burns on 4!

Huffle and I slept really well but Moo slept terribly, though she was feeling better today. We had a pancake breakfast which everyone helped to prepare. Because it was such a beautiful day with temperatures of +13* and sunshine which was only marred by the quite strong winds. We went out for a long walk around the Hamlet to blow away the cobwebs. It was a good walk and we stopped at ClownRose's for Smallest to give his present to BabyMo. It was a very lovely moment where neither of them would look at each other and BabyMo hugged me so I Could hug Smallest for her. Very sweet. On the way home we popped to see The Royals to say Merry Christmas.

At home the boys and Huffle played football in the sunny garden while Moo and I set about putting the roof on the gingerbread house. Somehow it all went very smoothly this year. Smallest came in to help with the decorating of the roof and a few other bits.

Pizza was made and we all sat in front of Nativity2 to eat.

Later this afternoon we all set about preparing veg for tomorrow's dinner, even the boys were peeling today in order to earn them a chance on the Wii which they took full advantage of. I finished wrapping and Moo and I started to watch Love Actually (our Christmas Eve ritual) while Huffle showered. It just got to the part where Martin Freeman and Stacey (Gavin and Stacey) were semi naked and Huffle shouted "time to stop now maybe" and I paused it. Smallest came in and said ooh can I watch? Oh no! There is too much kissing for you young man. The kids opened a present each (another tradition we created). Smallest opened an 'everyone' present which was a Santa Jigsaw puzzle and Small opened a present from Smallest which was a book.

We had tea of Porck Batches a la Nuneaton for Huffle and Smallest, Moo and Small had Cinamon Raisin Toast and I had a Brie Triangle. Happy Christmas Eve.

The Christmas cake was cut into which is unusual for us before Christmas Day but Small had the first piece and Smallest tucked into the first piece of Chocolate Log.

Smallest decided to go to bed early, I think he was quite excited. We hid some of the kids presents as it makes the opening last longer tomorrow and finally we all got to sit down in front of the TV, with a glass of Baileys and a game of scrabble on the side. Happy days.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
