What a merry Christmas day!

I just love it when all the preparations for Christmas day, the entire lead up, the emotional feelings and the family occasions all end with one, perfect day.

Before bed on Christmas eve, jammies and eggnog.

I'm sad to say that I don't have many photos to share - we had Christmas at our home with Adam's side of the family this year, with a sensational christmas breakfast at mum and dads, and a spectacular christmas evening, also at mum and dad's. Lucky they are walking distance away! So I spent much of my time rushing around making sure everyone was having a good time. And the time I wasn't rushing around? I was relaxing, drink in hand and food in my belly. Lots of food.

I don't think I will ever feel hungry again.

Darcy a little unimpressed by the Christmas cracker comb.

I am a bit sad I didn't get to capture the details of the day, but I managed many pictures of the family, and isn't that what it's all about?

Ok, and it's about the presents. Let's be honest.

My brother, sister and I.

The kids were very spoiled, both by Father Christmas and by family. And so was I! I even got my very first sewing machine from my wonderful husband. I can't wait to delve in to projects and start making useful little things for my family.... I'm not expecting much to start with though, you'll have to bare with me in all the projects that end in a fail before those that end in a win.

I think I'll make some hot mats first. Post to come on that!

This is what happens when the kids get to serve their own lunch...coloured popcorn and lamb.

Anyway, I hope Christmas day for you was magical and beautiful and everything you expected.

Cousins.

And I hope your boxing day consisted of lots of leftovers, new dvd's, lego building and tiara making - and of course sleep! Just like ours did.

The most un-guilty, lazy day of the year!

Merry Christmas!

Now, on to new year. Do you know it's going to be 37 degress? Yikes!!
