Everybody else has done their Christmas recount so I thought I had better hurry up and do mine!
Christmas began with a very large delivery from Santa's sleigh! I'm pretty sure he would have needed to go back to the North Pole to restock after unloading this lot!
Then at the prearranged time of 5.15 am three little men rose. Or maybe they re-rose as Daddy had put Matthew back to be at 1am, to discover that Santa had been. They hot footed it over to Cleon and Michelle's to collect Uncle Brenty and Aunty Kata.
Then they had to wait and wait and wait until all of the adults got out of bed and got a coffee and then finally sat down ready to watch to proceedings.
When the starting gun went of there was flying wrapping paper everywhere!
Bolt wasn't forgotten and he loved his new bird and he promptly tore off an eye and a leg and is currently in surgery trying to remove the birdies squeaker heart!
But what Bolty really wanted for Christmas was the boys new Sherrin from Brenty and Kata! Look at the look on his face while he is looking at that ball!
Daddy was thrilled to share Christmas with his little brother!
Ben was thrilled that Mummy and Daddy gave him a tablet so now when he goes for Sunday morning donuts and baby chinos he has his own tablet to play.
This photo shows just how thankful and full of love he was for his Mummy! Trust me he put a lot of love in that squeezing hug!
Ryan was super, super thrilled with his Chromebook. If you look closely it is written all over his face!
Matthew was thinking his new go pro was going to help him make awesome lego movies!
Kata and Brenton were just thinking if it was time to go back to bed yet! ;-)
Nana was having fun but the coffee hadn't hit Poppy yet!
Up there with Ben's favourite present was his Max D t-shirt that Santa got him from the monster truck show. He was super impressed that Santa was able to source it from the show and so far has been sticking to the conditions Santa placed upon his ownership of the shirt. Santa included a return address so if Ben doesn't comply with the conditions Mummy has to send it back!
As you can see they were all very, very, impressed with their Christmas haul.
But by far the favourite present for all three boys has been their flat caps. The first night I had to tell all three to take them off for bed and since that moment they only take them off for bed!
Oh! Look the coffee has hit! Poppy is awake!
Daddy love,love, loved the Mark Webber Red Bull F1 remote control car that Mummy got him. He took it out of the box for a very quick spin and then promptly installed it in the bookcase above his desk in his mancave study!
Lunch was a very lavish affair with table decorations, personalised name cards, candles and best of all buckets and buckets of food. Ben ate his body weight in prawns including 'prawn gravy' otherwise known as the brains!
After lunch the 4X4 remote control car and jump that Nana Bev and Grumpy brought the boys got a spin and plenty of air!
Then this is what the afternoon looked like....
Or this for those who had worked their guts out in the kitchen for two days!
I hope your Christmas was as Merry as ours!
