Christmas in summary

Here's how the last few days have panned out:

-Christmas Eve cleaning and cooking in preparation for THE day

-mass with the kids

-Christmas morning 6am wake up call

-few hours of assembling and playing with kids

-few hours preparation of food

-family arrive, much chatter, hugs and eating. Plenty of eating!

-family leave after 4, short rest before packing car and heading to visit inlaws 40 min drive away.

-more laughs and food and chatter and presents.

-arrive home after 11pm, exhausted and happy.

-Boxing Day brunch at fave cafe

-let the boys spend as long as they like at their fave park

-quick duck into Boxing Day sales: only bought FCUK shorts for hubby & 1 pair of shoes for me before kids wanted to head home (but not before mandatory stop at Max Brenners!)

-a relaxing arvo playing with the kids (not so much for hubby, who watched the Aussies get demolished in the Ashes)

-family movie night: Night at the Museum, followed by late night SATC re-runs for me.

After all that, I'm supposed to start work again tonight?
Bah humbug!
