Christmas Day 2010

Christmas Day started nice and early with William squeling in delight that Santa had drunk all of his milk and only eaten half of his biscuit. Paul's excuse was that Santa had too many biscuits to eat so he had to be careful. Sarah, Gareth and the boys came for Christmas lunch which started off with Oysters prepared by Gareth and then a full roast Turkey lunch prepared by Paul, finished with Christmas Pudding and homemade Vanilla bean icecream made by me. No wonder we couldn't eat much when we got to Mum and Dads for dinner!!!

William had a great day and didn't really fully understand just exactly how many presents under the tree were his. He slowly opened one present at a time, playing with each one along the way. When we got to Nana and Pops he even told my sister to come back later with her present because he was still playing with the one he had just opened!! Now I know that won't happen next year.

Here are a few shots of the day, I wasn't very good at getting many shots this year.

The racing car track Aunty Gail gave me - who is having more fun me or Daddy?
