Christmas...

Well, Christmas arrived sooner than I expected even though I was counting down the days, does that make sense? All in all I think we had a very good xmas weekend.

Angotull came home early on Friday afternoon, and we went shopping for the food we needed for Christmas eve. On Christmas eve I spent the day preparing, while Angotull watched Wriggles. He decided to cook supper for us, and let me just say, it was wonderful. We decided to do the whole turkey thing, and Angotull cooked the most devine turkey for us. My mom arrived just after 6pm. We had supper a while after that. Then Wiggles had his bath, and then got to open his gifts. He was a very spoilt little boy!




Wiggles got some really cool gifts. The toys that make a noise have been the one that are the biggest hit so far. His granny bought him a ride on "bulldozer", but he doesn't seem too keen on that just yet. Although I suspect within a few weeks he will be loving it.
By the time he had unwrapped (torn open) all his gifts, and taken the time to play with each one of them, he was exhausted. He was so very tired from a long day of playing and presents and such. We put his mattress in the lounge with us, and he passed out surrounded by all his gifts and toys.

We waited up til midnight, and had a toast for Christmas with my mom. After that we had some coffee, and then she decided it was time to head home. We went to bed soon after, probably around 1 -ish. We had to be up early on Christmas morning to make the hour long trip to Angotull's parents in time for breakfast. And we had to pick up my mom on the way.

We had a lovely day at the in-laws. The day started out coolish but turned into a very nice warm day. We spent the most of the day sitting on the patio. We also had lunch out there. After lunch we took a walk to go and show Wiggles the ducks at a little pond in the area... he wasn't very interested.




We left there when we saw heavy weather coming over. We ended up driving through a terrible storm. I felt so sorry for Angotull having to navigate in what seemed to be a cloud burst. I suspect his nerves were shot by the time we dropped my mom off. We had a fantastic day, but we were very glad to be home again.

Today is a public holiday. We have done absolutely nothing today other than watch TV and surf the net. After the busy xmas weekend we need a little time to just chill out and relax.

Well, it's HNT again, and here is the pic for the week. This one was a lot of fun taking, especially since I had some help from Angotull.

And now it's beginning to look like Christmas

So, almost two weeks after wanting to do it, we finally did it! Our Christmas tree is up! We eventually got our lazy selves into gear and did it last night. Now we can really let the Xmas spirit run riot in our house. I can not believe it is Xmas time already, this year has just rushed by. So another festive season has arrived, and we are all feeling the spirit of it so much more this year. Think I should drag out the Xmas music now, and make a real moment of it.


Somehow a pic just doesnot do it justice



Of course, I did wear tinsel this morning. When Wiggles saw it, he was extremely interested in this new and exciting stuff. Naturally, I let him wear it too. He was rather amused, but looked oh so cute with his tinsel crown. Eventually he started getting annoyed, so i took it off and he played with it. I took it away when it became breakfast.
