Ah Christmas. That magical time of the year where the kids are so excited they can't sleep..... and so it was for Henry on Christmas Eve. The poor kid struggled to fall asleep and was upset about it. He finally fell asleep around 10.45pm only to awake at 5.00am and proceed to wake up the other two as well. Stockings were full, presents were under the tree. It could only mean one thing. Santa had been.
The kids kept themselves occupied until 7.00am when we adults decided we should get out of bed and start the day. Let's face it, they weren't letting us have a sleep in. Michael made everyone breakfast and we let the kids open one present before my brother and his family arrived for the full present opening festivities. The late night and early morning start took it's toll on Henry. He needed a quick power nap.
Then at last Santa arrived and the exchange of presents was underway.
It was a very Journey Girl Christmas for Milly.
Then we all headed to Nanoo's house for Christmas lunch and more presents.
After lunch (sorry I forgot to take photos of the food), it was an afternoon of quiet reflection by the water or a game of Finska.
