Christmas Day

Madelyn woke up at about 7:30 and went into see Grandma and Grandpa. We found her hiding under the covers! We asked her if Father Christmas had come and she said she wasn't sure so we went to look... He had xx

We collected her sack, and ours, and opened them up on our bed. 

 

Then we went down stairs and put out her stuff like Emma, Vic and I used to do when we were kids. 

Then we all got dressed, sorted some bubbles and opened presents.

I took loads of photos on my camera so will try to add those later. 

Andy and his mum cooked an amazing Christmas dinner! Although Madelyn was a bit miffed when she got her starter... 'Wheres my proper lunch?' 

We all had a fabulous day, and by the evening we were all pooped xx

Christmas Eve

Our celebrations started early with Pat and Bob arriving on Tuesday. They'd had a bit of a long drive so we just went to pick up the turkey then relaxed for the evening. 

On Christmas Eve we did a bit of last minute shopping then went to the Christingle service at our local church. Madelyn did her best to sing the songs and did a bit of dancing. The church is quite tiny and was full, a lovely atmosphere.  

When we got home we got everything ready for Father Christmas. She told me what we needed to put out. She's seen him with Nanna and Grandad and remembered what he'd said. 

And put out the sign so he didn't miss us. 

We also sprinkled some reindeer food. 

Madelyn put out her Santa sack then fell asleep pretty much straight away xx
