Christmas Day.

Yay, Christmas morning!! Children up early and very excited ? No! We waited and waited as they slept on. Finally at 8.30am we decided to wake them up and start the day.

Boy Wonder became very excitable, Cat Girl a little more apprehensive . We made our way downstairs to see if Santa had been, checked to see if he had eaten his shortcake and the reindeers their carrot. Yes they had! They moved into the lounge and saw the presents under the tree along with their stockings. ( the stockings cannot go upstairs because Boy Wonder panics about having a strange man in the house.) Usually Boy Wonder is very matter of fact about Christmas but this morning he was very excited which was lovely to see. He was very impressed with his Barcelona football shirt and Raspberry Pi kit. Cat Girl was very happy about her dolls house and tablet too.

Grandparents came over for dinner. It was fairly quiet and lovely. Boy Wonder got out his joke book and did his usual telling of jokes, however he got half way through dinner and said he felt ill and needed to leave the table. He went to sit in the lounge where it was quieter.  After dinner we had a look at more presents before getting ready to go to Super Gran's house for tea.

We walked down to the house whilst the children 'heelied' Boy Wonder did really well, Cat Girl needed holding up all the way! We met with family, played party games which were well designed by Super Gran to ensure that all children won. This suited Boy Wonder as he was teetering on the edge today, just a bit too much going on throughout the day, overwhelmed.

The evening went well and as we got up to leave, Boy Wonder did his typical spiel of adults drinking alcohol and being out of control! We managed to convince him that we were fine and started our journey home. We settled down as it was late. A fairly successful day all in all. Merry Christmas everyone xx
