Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you all have had a great holiday break. Back to the daily grind tomorrow! lol
We've had a wonderful Christmas! Matty and Becca scored very well indeed with all the presents from Christian's side of the family. Clothes, toys, books, more toys - you get the idea! Matty got a HUGE Tonka truck from Grandma and Grandad, playdoh stuff, just heaps of things. Becca got a few new outfits which is great. The size 00's are getting a bit tight around her belly! Plus she got some stacking cups, a pull along caterpillar thingie, 2 dolls, and a cd as well. Becca loves kissing people and things, and one of the dolls she was given makes kissing noises and says "I love you"! Bec thought it was wonderful, and kisses the doll every time it made the kissing noises. Everybody together now: "Awww!"
We ate way too much food! There were 15 of us for lunch at the in-laws, and we had everything - turkey, ham, pork, veges, salads, plum pudding, brandy custard, rum butter, icecream, chocolates... the list goes on! Had a sandwich for tea! We gave Matty a Raggs DVD, the book "Animalia" by Graeme Base, and some of those magnetic letters for the fridge. He loves those letters! Becca got a dress, a matching cloth nappy, and the book "Cinderella". Mum and Dad came over on Boxing Day for another feast / Christmas. More presents and more food! Christian gave me the book "Eldest", the sequal to Eragon. In hard-cover, limited edition! Its all gold and embossed etc. Looks really cool! I can't wait to start reading it, but am being good and resisting until I finish reading my current book, The Mists of Avalon.
New Years was a bit of a non-event for us. I was in bed by 10:00pm with Becca, and Christian climbed in around 11:45. Neighbours down the street let off some firecrackers at midnight, and I could hear "Happy New Year!" being yelled far in the distance, but that was about it! Damn we're getting old!
Mum and Dad are coming over for tea tonight. It's Christian's birthday tomorrow, so we're having tea with them tonight so they can give him their pressie, and going over to Christian's parents place tomorrow night (on his birthday) for tea. His cousin Robert will be up from Melbourne, so Christian's really looking forward to that! We haven't seen Robert for nearly over a year.
Oh, and another event (sort of) - today is exactly 11 years since our first date!
