And that's us all done for another year!And for the first time ever we didn't have to go and wake Chook in the morning! Ten to eight she toddled through herself - we couldn't believe it, we always have to get her up at about half eight when we can't wait anymore!
I didn't take many photos today but here's what I do have. We had a bit of crafting courtesy of Chookie's 3D doodle pen. It's kinda like a hot glue gun but extrudes plastic! I guess like a crafty/low tech 3D printer. It's very cool.
Lots of lovely gifts given and received. That's Spouse is his socks (he wants many more pairs!!) my crazy expensive watch (thank you, darling) and my brother in his hat and scarf from us (wearing last Christmas' socks!). I'll share the hats, scarves and quilts I made another day!
A bit of chillaxing before heading out to lunch at my folks'. Wee Temple was a bit anxious all morning, he's such a wee emotional barometer that he picks up on any differences in atmosphere. Bless him, the excitement and extra things all over his house were making him a bit twitchy. But he managed not to pee on anything (we still get the odd spraying episode despite being 3 months clear at one point!) and the detritus is mostly all away now. Poor wee neurotic guy. *g*
Fun with family (this is Chook and my baby brother) including an impromptu karaoke session! I'm not sure how it happened but a discussion about what was number 1 when we were born, a search on YouTube for the songs and an accidental discovery of a karaoke "Mull of Kintyre" found us 2 hours later still scaring the dog. Sorry, Duke!

And lots of fabulous food including amazing homebaking by my mum. I couldn't do it justice, I was so stuffed with prawns and salmon and Dad's homemade soup, turkey and Mum's trademark cheesecake. Big. Fat. Belly.
I'm knackered now and we're off to the panto tomorrow so it's bedtime for me. I do hope you all had as wonderful a day as we did!
looks like a fun day. Glad the socks got finished. the socks for my husband turn out to fit my daughter's dainty feet perfectly. All the luck of the draw I think!
