~Christmas 2007 morning~

We have had such a lovely Christmas day!

Xavier was up a fair bit last night, which made for a very tired Mummy! They both woke at about 5.30am, but Pop wasn’t coming until 7am, so we had to keep them in our bedroom! So we all hung out in the bedroom taking group photos! We had opened 1 present each the night before which was new Pj’s for everyone!

Pop turned up at 7am, then it was straight into the pressies! Both of the kidlets were very spoilt from Grandma and pop. Xavier got car case with cars, 3 x singlets & cutlery set. Grace got Hi-5 backpack, puzzle, musical instruments, rubber play mats & cutlery set.
From Nanny Xavier got a swim ring for the spa. Grace got a hi-5 dress and t-shirt & also tickets to the concert in January. Nanny will be up then so she is going to take her!

Xavier from Mummy & Daddy:
Car case, matchbox cars, “mmmm boobies & lock up your daughters” t-shirts, some bonds tops, singlet and board short!

Grace from mummy and Daddy:
Undies, Hi-5 socks, paintbrush and roller, 2 x felt boards & shorts.

The kids also bought a present to give to each other. Grace gave Xavier a soft tonka truck and he gave her a book “When I am feeling jealous”

After opening all the presents we read the letter that santa had left under the tree! It was thanking the kids for the water and apple and also to thank grace for the dummies. At the end it told them to go outside! So out we went and there was the “Bouncy” Grace was so excited!! Xavier was also (hahaha) so excited that he then had to go have a nap!!

Grace spent the rest of the morning playing on the trampoline! She absolutely loves it. We have put her slide in backwards so she can use the stairs to climb into it!

Whilst grace, pop and Daddy were outside playing I was inside getting ready from breakfast! Murray, Trudy & Marilyn were coming over! We had pancakes, home-made strawberry jam & fruit salad! It was a lovely Christmas breakfast! We gave the Dews their present, a hammock! I think that they will enjoy it! They gave Grace 2 books and a hi-5 DVD & Xavier a basketball bath toy and a cute collared all in one suit! They all left at about 10am then the kids were ready for a nap. Xavier went off fairly easily but grace took awhile. She is still struggling to get to sleep without her dummies.

They both woke at noon then we all got ready to head over to Nicole’s for lunch. We had a lovely lunch with turkey, ham and yummy roast vegies! After the lunch we opened pressies. Grace got shorts and singlet from the Truets, Monkey game from the Cahills, bucket & spade from the Ryans. Emily also gave her a special present of a book that she doesn’t use anymore, which I thought was very sweet! Xavier got a ABC book from the Truets, a toy phone from the Cahills & soft books from the Ryans.

After pressies were opened we had dessert...yummy trifle and pavlova! Xavier went and had a nap on the spare bed! Grace has lots of fun playing with Emily! All in all it was a lovely relaxing day! We left about 5pm!

Xavier went to bed at 6pm, Grace was still bouncing away! She went to bed at 7pm but didn’t get to sleep until about 50 mins later. I hope that it gets easier for her to go to sleep. She still asks for her dummies, but seems fine when we explain what happened to them. It’s like she finds it really hard to relax enough to go to sleep without them.
