Oooo, Christmas Day! Did the reindeer eat the carrots?

BritMumInNZ

What a day! Phew – it’s been magic and just as we’re thinking about retiring to bed our thoughts are far away with all our dear folks and friends in the Northern Hemisphere just tucking into a day of festive frolics! Thank you so much to our dear family and friends who have blessed us with such lovely delights this Christmas Day (proper thank you scrawl coming, via snail mail, in the New Year!).

It was a late one last night… 2am before we finally gave up on Sing Star and forced ourselves to get some shut eye (we had the best fun!). Morning came all too quick, around 7.30am, and thankfully the day has been blessed with glorious sunshine. The girls have had a ball playing the garden (I even braved it in the paddling pool!) and we enjoyed a lovely walk down to our local playground at midday. They have been absolute stars for us all day and we had the most fun we’ve had in years. No naps to time things round, no dirty nappies and the beginnings (ha, ha!) of table manners in place helped immensely, ha, ha, ho, ho!

Hope you’ve all had a fabulous day and here’s a little video of our magic moments (particularly for dear family and friends to enjoy – oh, how we’d love to share the fun with you all, but you were certainly, very much, in our thoughts).

Now, have we enough puff left to blow up some balloons?! Sophie’s 3rd Birthday tomorrow, Boxing Day!

  1. Thank you for sharing your family Christmas with the rest of us. There is nothing like the wonderment on the faces of small children when the magic is still real. Charli and the beer bottle and Sophie with her unicorn were such a joy to see. (Tell Charli that my boys still have the same Star Wars book that she got.)It looks as if you had a wonderful day filled with the best aspects of Christmas. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

  2. What a lovely time you had on Christmas Day ….just so lovely to see you all having so much fun and enjoying opening your presents. We have had a lovely Christmas day here and thank you for all our lovely presents too. Thinking of you all and have fun as you celebrate Sophie’s birthday tommorrow. Enjoy that lovely sunshine too !!!

  3. Ha ha!!! What a wonderful post! My goodness your video was awesome – pressies, poll time, dinner, so lovely of you to share it. The girls look so happy and it’s so nice to see.

    I love seeing the yellow bin bags we used to know so well (although I hope that wasn’t recycling you were squashing in there Dan!!!!). Also so sweet to see the wonderful present from the girls (and the fact Charli can read so well!!).

    Merry Christmas!!!!

    Lots of love and merriment!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

  4. Hello – merry christmas and happy birthday Sophie. Every year gets more exciting doesn’t it!? Love the garden photo – feeling full of cold here so would love to join you in the pool!

    We also love sing star but my tip is if you haven’t got a Wii, get one – they are great for everyone, even Euan has been having a go.

    Have a fab new year-

    The very many Killens xoxox
