It's Christmas

A little lie in now the girls are getting older, we all got up at 8:30 had breakfast before opening presents. We have a bowl of stars and pick one out so it's nice surprise to see who's next to open a present. We started this idea a few years ago and the girls liked it so we have kept it up ever since- it was talking to dad about how could Christmas,as be different and he came up with the idea of names in a hat - I took it further to make it extra special and make stars - this year Mills wrote the names on the paper and Bex and I made them into the stars.
It was a wonderful Christmas time everybody was very happy with all their gifts. Mills is enjoying her DS very much and Bex was really happy with her ipod and loaded it up with all her music, games and also was very happy with the two Sims games too. The stocking had virtually the same items in so as soon as Mills opened one Bex put that present to the side as she guessed that it would be the same as Mills and opened other presents that would be a surprise.
The Christmas dinner that I cooked we throughly enjoyed even Bex cleared her plate.
