Christmas day started at about 8.30 when we heard the usual pitter patter of feet heading towards our bedroom... Emma was very excitied to see all her presents - especially her little bike which was too big and difficult to wrap. She spent ages opening each present saying 'rip rip,' as she did - and she spent ages looking at each thing before moving onto the next present! We then had yummy pancakes for breakfast! And enjoyed some family time together.
Mum came over mid-morning and had a simple lunch with us. Then it was time for the traditional Christmas snooze.... Energy revived it was time to head over to Skip & Janelle's for more presents and food (delicious turkey and lamb on the BBQ - yum!) Dale & Nell travelled up from Taupo so it was great catching up with them. Emma lasted beautifully through out the day I thought she would need to go down at Janelle & Skip's but at 10.15 she was still going strong! We even managed to check out the Franklin Road lights on the way home (a street famous for it's houses covered in Christmas lights.) All in all we had a fantastic Christmas and the build up this year was amazing - I actually feel sad that it's over... Oh well roll on Christmas 2008!!

8.30 oh my goodness, how luxurious! We were up before you guys without even taking the time difference into account - 0448 Australian time! But hey we had got the kids all worked up and it's light by 0415 so can't complain. We too had a fantastic day have been meaning to blog all week so you never know it might happen today. Glad you guys had a fantastic day, look forward to seeing you soon!
