Simply having...

...a wonderful Christmas time!

Merry Christmas! We had a great day with my family yesterday. I love Christmas :)

I woke at about 7am and bounced around on the bed, shouting "Santa's been! He's been!" for about 45 minutes before G would get up. We opened presents quickly, before heading over to my Mums. He got me Fantasia 2000 on blu-ray and an Amanda Visell journal :) yay!

He got another Unicornasaurus, 7 of the "Finders Keepers" collection, and some bits like a new moleskin, some fineliner pens and chocolate. Lots of it to. His Christmas wish was 'chocolate for breakfast' haha.

My parents spoiled us rotten! I got loads of really nice presents and money, which is always welcome! After a quick breakfast, we popped to see my Dad and Grandparents, then to see my nephews. When we got back, there was already a house full! There were 11 people for dinner, so the house was noisy and happy :) Quite how my mum manages to cook for 11 AND make all the food amazing, I'll never know. I ate sooo much! After dinner we popped to my Aunt's house (as is tradition) and spent about an hour there before heading back to my Dad's to see my cousins.

Then home!

I changed into my new pjs as soon as I got home and we sat looking at our gifts (and photographing them in my case!). We ate cheese, crackers and Christmas chutney that my mum made and watched Christmas specials on tv. I was so tired and fell asleep within minutes of going to bed.

I'm so happy and thankful to spend another Christmas with my wonderful family. I was spoiled rotten, thank you all so much!

In the interest of post-length and not boring the pants off everyone (well, too late!), I've hidden the pictures of my gifts after the break.

If I don't get around to it just before, have a healthy and happy new year!x
