I couldn’t believe how tiring this year’s Christmas Day hs been. Jon ensured that we were up at 5am on Christmas morning to the shout of “I’VE GOT PRESENTS!!!!”. Very cute to see his excitement, less cute to deal with the overtired and excited child 8 hours later!

For the first time, we had Christmas at our house and invited Georgina’s Mother and partner over. Georgina did the whole Christmas dinner thing which was excellent and I did the whole pouring drinks thing which was also good. Even though I seemed to be the only one needing refills….

For Jon and Ben, we got them a wooden train set table thingy (See this picture!). Their faces, especially Jon’s, when they came downstairs and saw it was wonderful. It almost made up for the hassle of building it Christmas Eve! They also did well with other presents from family, especially their grandparents. Now all we need to do is work out how to get them to play with different toys rather than both going for the same toy at the time…
