Christmas round up for 2013 and what a lovely time we had being all together with lots of much needed time with daddy being all together was fantastic. Even though the fairies have left us to do their important job for Santa the magic has not left us. Christmas eve kicked off with the mulling of the wine and Sophie was excellent at stirring up the Christmasy brew.
Christmas Eve means the girls got a survival pack each with new jimmy jammies, slippers, toothbrush, paste, flannels one small gift. Everything a girl would need for getting ready for bed with a nice bath to help bring on a good sleep to make sure that Christmas day comes swiftly. Sophie is now the perfect age for totally getting the magic of Christmas so this year she was the Christmas Elf a very important job as the role come with all sorts of jobs one being the person that gives out the Christmas presents and to show how important she is she gets a very special hat. Sorry the video below is sideways 
So much for the survival packs easing the girls off to sleep Sophie was so excited she didn't go to sleep until 11pm it didn't help that daddy kept her up making her more excited and in turn she made Ella excited who didn't go to sleep until midnight ! just in time for Santa's arrival. Morning came and Sophie opened a never ending stocking and even little Ella got one of daddies socks with a few gifts from the big man. Before Daddy encourage Sophie to go down stairs where she squealed with excitement at the sight of the tree and the gifts beneath it.
The number one present this year was all about Furby. Sophie has been wanting one of these for ages, and they have been inseparable ever since she has got it. Ella got Furby's friend Willa which she also finds very captivating and they both got Yippit for good measure a friend and pet and when they are all together they interact with each other. Above is Sophie in her Christmas day dress and sparkly shoe's. Below in her Grufflo suit it was such a shame i couldn't get a tiny one for Ella. After the mammoth present unwrapping where the Christmas elf got most of the gifts we all sat down to dinner of Christmas goose yum!

ReplyDeletei love the gruffalo suit! i do feel for you that she was awake until 11pm it just makes for tiredness on christmas day - at least this was my experience two years ago when Burton did the same thing! I forgot to make mulled wine can you believe it? what an epic fail!
