Christmas Day








After a big Christmas Eve of Yule Muling - Yes we did drink that whole bottle of Vodka and Darren worked his way - with the help of Bill- through that case of Carlton Beer we woke up very seedy with the kids rocking us awake at the early hours in the morning to open up their Christmas presents.
It was wonderful to see everyone around the Christmas Tree, which this year I decorated with Christmas Decorations from our Europe trip. Every town we visited I bought a Christmas Decoration, so there are lots of pieces from Italy and Holland but some from London, Paris and Germany. With some special one's from Roya of the Red Light District in Amsterdam - the kids show all their friends when they come over. Thanks Roya.
Of course Oliver (the Cat) and Chloe (my dog) plus the fish - which were lined up keen to see what every one got-could not miss out of the Christmas hoopla.
Darren was happy with his haul of clothes, music, boxing focus set, DVD's and Boggie Board complete with flipper and bag plus a pair of Clog Slippers. darren wanted these slipper when we were in Holland but due to no room left in our luggage he did not get them. However when Dilly and I drove up to Grafton and stopped at the Clog Barn they had them there, so Dilly insisted she wanted to give them to Darren for Christmas - he was very happy and has not taken them off.
Dilly received clothes, DVD's, Vans shoes, money and books plus a surf mat to go boggie boarding with her dad in the surf.
Taylor got clothes, DVD's, money, tea pot, alarm clock (to help her get up for Rowing) plus a Pandora bracelet with charms.
While I was lucky with a scoop of Pandora charms and complete set of Harry Potter DVD's.
