Happy New Year to All!!!!!!!

Hi All

I hope everyone had a Great Christmas!!  I think I did.........don't know still a bit numb!!!  5 hours it took on Christmas eve (for Santa to do all his deliveries!)  Must start before midnight next year!!  Things needed building, things needed wrapping......and batteries needed replacing and thats before the kids got their hands on them!!!!  Well....you goto make sure things are working ok!   By 4.30 I couldn't care less how a present was wrapped and my mouth tasted like I had eaten a roll of sellotape!  Oh and must get bigger house for next year.....presents have not fitted under the tree for a long time but I always managed to fit them all in the same room as the tree.....Not this year, had to spill out into the hallway!!

 Got to bed at 5am and at approx 5.07am one of the little darlings got up and proceeded to wake all the others up. Vaguely remember the odd kid nudging me to tell me what Santa had left in their stockings! 

We don't allow the kids downstairs for their main presents until we are up and the Christmas tree lights are on and the Christmas CD is playing, usual we aim for about 8am but this year I couldn't open my eyes and it had gone 9 !!!  We eventually fell out of bed in a panick when one of the kids said that my 4 year old had gone down stairs!!!  He would most certainly open everything in sight if we didn't stop him quickly!!  Now the kids know exactly how to get us up quicky and no doubt they will remember for next year!!!!!

Now the next problem we have to deal with is the photos, I like capturing their faces as they open their presents......not easy with one camera and 11 eager and excited kids!  Managed to get a few photos though. 

So the kids are over the moon with all their presents and that's when it hits you!  You spend months getting everything ready, making sure everything will be perfect and who gets the credit for it........Santa!!!!  It is the best moment of every year!!  Only one complaint for Santa this year and that was from Kai my 4 year old.  On Christmas eve I overheard him talking about what Santa was bringing him......a helicopter!  That was the first I had heard of that, but I wasn't worried because I knew he would love everything he did get and forget about the helicopter........Wrong!!!!!!  When asked if he liked everything he said he loved everything but he didn't get a helicopter!!!

Be back soon
