My proper Christmas
After all the talk about what goes on here it was great to get home yesterday afternoon and share Christmas with my family. Rachael & Tom are always very pleased to see me as this means they can start on round two of the present opening. We try and control them and do manage to keep them to one at a time, interspersed with letting them give us a present or two as well.
Rachael was really pleased with her Singstar PS2 game - she and Tom did disappear up to the office to try and out sing each other, Rachael also got a new soft and fluffy dressing gown which she has worn almost non-stop since opening it!
Tom had his main present before Christmas as he needed it for school - he’s now learning the base guitar which he serenades us with every now and then. He also had a couple of PS2 games and we all got various books, CDs and DVDs to occupy us for the next few evenings. We listened to two of the new ones yesterday evening while getting dinner ready and eating that - Foo Fighters and Scouting for Girls.
Dinner was lovely and we were very good, not overdoing it at all. We had fillet steaks, partly because I’ve seen enough turkey but also because Val didn’t want anything hanging around the fridge for the next few days. Rachael did ask where the turkey was so we may have one next year.
Today we managed to get the kids out for a bit of fresh air, they both adamantly told me they weren’t going to go for a walk but Val managed to convince them they would enjoy a play on the beach while we went for a walk up towards Pentire Point. It was a lovely clear day and as usual there were loads of people out walking, we were on the way back when I got a “hurry up I’m hungry” message from Rachael!
We did get back for a late lunch and then I left them watching Harry Potter when I came back to work - I must admit I did watch quite a bit of it and found it quite entertaining, never having seen any of the films before.
We all had a good time, hope you enjoyed your Christmas too.
