Christmas morning

This year is probably the latest we've been up on Christmas morning for a number of years :o). Emily woke at 4.30am but then didn't wake Claire until 5.25am and then after that woke Hugh and Sarah. I woke up at 5.50am and had to listen carefully to hear if anyone was up yet. I was supposed to be picking Mum up at 6am so I was up and dressed in a fairly short space of time ;o). I think Mum has been coming round at 6am to watch the children open presents since they came back to the UK. Dad used to come as well but has decided going out at 6am is a bit early these days!

Everyone gathered and ready to start

Mum looking remarkably cheerful so early in the morning!

Hugh played Father Christmas again this year and handed out all the presents

Hugh's girlfriend, Sarah, was with us for Christmas morning this year before going home to her family for Christmas dinner.

Wallace and Emily (Wallace loves Christmas morning and likes to see what everyone is opening

Sarah made Hugh's knees more festive ;o)

Watching Grandma open her present

Not sure why Claire was wearing her new scarf on her head!

Emily knows where it's meant to go!

Time to relax again

Mum went home for a while after the presents were opened but I picked both her and Dad up again at 1pm to come round for the afternoon. Jon had picked up his brother, Mike after Church. Hugh played Santa once again and handed Mike and Grandpa their presents
