Thank goodness that is over for another year!. We have had an amazing few days but boy am I ready for a nap. The rain finally stopped so I could start to get outside ready for the big day. We survived the weather (all 130mm of it!) but Steves work was not so lucky 
Anyway Chirstmas Eve was spent madly cleaning and getting ready for the following day. We then headed off for our Traditional Christmas Eve Party which was fantastic (Thanks Woodsies). The night is filled with children laughing, plenty of yummy food, a spa, Santa and of course Pressies.
We got home rather late, as usual, left our reindeer food out (thanks Cam and Mitchell) and headed off to bed. We all must have been very good this year as Santa left us lots of goodies. Matilda was more interested in eating the wrapping but the boys were on cloud 9. They received lots of Lego, cars, games, bike helmets and the list goes on. Once the lounge room was completely filled with paper and gifts it was time to clean up and start cooking lunch.
We got cleaned up just in time for the family to arrive and do it all over again!. It was a really good day, lunch was delicious and for once I didnt stuff myself stupid. Even Butch joined in the festivities. Luckily we didnt have to head anywhere for tea as it took me until 8:30 that night to clean up!. Finally collapsed into bed around 9:30 which is very early for me.
Boxing Day was spent washing, cleaning, unpacking toys from all that over the top packaging and shopping. Yes I did brave the sales and managed to bag a few bargains.
Time to recharge for New Years Eve.
Hope you all had a Christmas as wonderful as mine.
