I always remember being young and waking up at the crack of dawn to see if he’d been, checking my stocking to see if it was full of presents 🙂 You’re a bit young for that so we’re able to have a more relaxing morning with the presents underneath the tree. This year will probably be the last when we’re able to wait until after Christmas lunch to open them. We spent the morning preparing the food, chatting and playing in front of the TV, what more could we ask for?
Today is special in a few ways. It’s Christmas Eve, Oma & Uncle George are coming to visit and the best of all… it’s Mummy’s birthday! Unfortunately she has to work today… on her birthday 🙁 Don’t worry though as we’ll all celebrate later tonight when she’s home, Oma & Uncle George and all. For creche we were asked to dress you in a festive spirit, Mummy really delivered on this right one?
Mummy thought you needed more sleep but I’m under the impression you were trying to hum ‘Jingle Bells’ 😀 You were really trying to get in the Christmas spirit!
We had a pleasant surprise while out doing our last minute shopping in Hoofddop, we ran into Santa Claus! From what I understand he was also out doing his last minute shopping for all the good kids of the world… are you one of those? Let’s wait to see if you get a visit from him this year, I hope he’s fast enough as to not set our alarm off!
He arrived last week but tonight is when you officially get your presents. Come to think of it I believe you’re supposed to get a present each night. This isn’t too far off the truth as you got your new princess car and shopping cart over the last few days. We have a picture below of you and all your gifts, you did very well and we still have Christmas to come!
You love your little dolly the best, it says ‘Mama’ & ‘Papa’, cries and laughs when you squeeze its stomach. You were hugging her, kissing her on the head when we said ‘Kiss Kiss’ to you 🙂 You dropped her a few times on her head but we’ll ignore that 😀 She even has a little hat for you to keep taking off… along with your socks. The Lego wasn’t the biggest hit however I managed to make a few things before you destroyed them, a Giraffe and large tower.
The living room was already a little messy but after starting the Christmas tree Mummy was nearly crying 🙂 You helped a little, however you weren’t as fascinated by the tree as we expected. You loved Mummy’s dog that sings and flaps its ears, so much so that she won’t be taking it to work this year, it’ll stay home to entertain you 🙂
You helped me put the final touch on the tree with the silver spire! There’ll be a lot more pictures to come as our house slowly transforms into ‘Santa’s Grotto’. At this time of year I’m sure the electricity companies are rubbing their hands together… 🙂
