Santa Arrived

The Princes woke us thankfully not too early and the present giving began, they both received Fuji cameras, how nice of Santa it was just what they had asked for, obviously they had already received their Uggs pre Santa but it's ok because he had blessed them.

Whilst I prepared the veg My Beloved and the Little Prince's took themselves and their cameras off for a walk along the beach and all the way around to the Marina for coffee.

When they arrived back dinner prep began in earnest, the house smelt beautiful, Roast Beef wafted through the air, I have told My Beloved I will be cooking next time as that man can wreck a kitchen in two minutes flat, why is it women can clean as they cook and men just throw everything in the sink, ah bless him.

The Little Princes presented me with a parcel at the table which is new Nike workout gear, woohooo go me, the pants even have a go faster pink strip down the side, we will see if that works.... The Princes opened their table gifts and we began our dinner, but not before we put on our Santa hats, no crackers in this country so we made do with hats, I have photographic evidence that YES I did wear one, but you can tell from the photo I ain't liking it one bit, I don't have hat hair.

The Roast beef was lush and we were all stuffed to the brim, and that was with rest periods between courses, our afternoon was spent watching Snow White and the Huntsman, not very Christmassy but there was lots of snow so that was ok.

We chatted with family throughout the day, although I really must remember not to mute my phone, I tend to miss a lot that way, we had a facetime with the Geordies, and a skype call with Lou Lou and Amelia, I even got Nicola so show me her blooming belly over facetime, so excited to meet our new Mather baby when it eventually arrives. We even had a call from Glen using his mobile, he has told us it's our turn to call him New Year!

Abbie took herself off to the pool, Katie watched her this time as she is feeling a little poorly just now, hopefully she will feel better after a good nights sleep.

In the evening I had tried to get Mrs Brown's boys on my ipad, it was having none of it, but luckily for me Abbie managed to download it on her iphone and we plugged it in to the TV and roared with laughter at Mammy stuck up the christmas tree, you have to love Mrs Brown mainly because she says all the things your too polite to say yourself.
