Christmas however was a welcome break and passed in a very relaxed fashion (except for the essential "Argh he's been moment")!

The girls were allowed to open 1 present on Christmas Eve, which was a new pair of pjs and a Chritmas book, S got The Night before Christmas and J got Father Chritmas needs a wee. Both went down really well and I think a new christmas tradition has been born.

Christmas day was a lazy one with a trip to visit Eric et famille at The Game Cock Inn for a sneaky christmas drink. Then back home for a afternoon of food. We had a break of about an hour between courses to let the food settle. It meant dinner lasted about 5 hours but at least your not fit to burst at the end of it and each course can be appreciated!
We all got very spoilt by Father Christmas this year. J was especially pleased with her sunglasses

We're not big on going out on New Years Eve so this year we wound the clocks forward 4 hours (not telling the girls) and had a NYE party of our own. The girls had Champomy and we set about the Fondue Set that Monsieur had received for Christmas. We than watched a re-run of last years BBC Countdown to Midnight and the fireworks in London. The girls really enjoyed it and truly believed they had been able to / managed to stay up until Midnight!!

| Happy New Year |
All in all a lovely Christmas and New Year was had. Not riotous but just what we needed to recharge our batteries.
