Christmas & New Year 2006/2007

Merry Christmas and happy New Year!!!
This year we had 2 Christmas days (alright for some huh?!?)
On 25th December we had a Christmas day with Kayla and Charlie also spent the day with us. Tony slaved away in the kitchen to provide us with a roast dinner and the rest of the day was spent playing with his new present “guitar hero – for PS2” – we are all getting quite good at that
On Boxing Day we had our second Christmas as Georgie arrived from her mum’s house, Tony’s parents also came over and Charlie was still staying with us.
There were lots of presents to open on that day and again Tony cooked a lovely traditional roast dinner.
The girls had a great time over the holiday and I’m sure played with every new thing that they got. We played quite a lot of games; monopoly a few times (in which one game Tony’s mum won for the first time ever), a few versions of trivial pursuit (which in one game I won for the first time ever – however it was the Disney DVD version! I must watch too many children’s movies!) and we treated ourselves to Buzz for PS2. The only version we could get was the Who wants to be a Millionaire which we now play with the sound turned down as Chris Tarrant’s (the host of UK who want to be...) drives us all up the wall!!!
We welcomed 2007 quietly & almost sober - a nice change – we had promised the girls at midnight we would go outside pop some bottles of bubbly and sing Auld Lang Syne. So from about 6pm they were asking every hour when it was going to be midnight until about 11pm when it was every 10 mins. They got dressed up in some new party dresses (oh the excitement!) shoes & jackets on and watched the clock until 11.59 we all (Tony, Charlie, Kayla, Georgie & myself) then ran outside and saw all the fireworks around, the adults popped a bottle of bubbly each (ok – I tried to and couldn’t so Tony opened mine for me!) and as Tony & Charlie were spraying each other with booze unfortunately in the dark Georgie fell over and hurt herself :( so after 6 hours of waiting and 5 mins of excitement we all trundled back inside where Kayla mentions that we didn’t sing the song they learned (Auld Lang Syne) Kids – gotta love ‘em!!
