Wow, it’s been an amazing past few days! I’m not going to write loads as I’ll be here all day else as its been so busy and lovely! Instead I will share some photos with you.
Here are some photos from Christmas Eve. Freddie, my partner and I all headed over to my parents house for Christmas Dinner. My parents have always done dinner on Christmas Eve instead as my mum hated being stuck in the kitchen whilst we all unwrapped our presents and none of us really ate much as we were all stuffed on sweeties! The tradition has been going for over 20 years now! We also have a table present with our meal to get the excitement flowing.
Santa stopped by and left Freddie some presents.
Now for Christmas Day! We spent the morning just us 3, we had a lovely breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon and opened some presents. My partner didn’t let me open my present until the end… (find out why below!!!) We then caught a short ferry ride over to my partners mum and had dinner there. (2 Christmas Dinners in 2 days, and I didn’t have to cook any! Score!) In the afternoon we then got back on the ferry and went over to my parents to swap presents, drink alcohol and be merry. By this point Freddie was very cranky and tired (he’s been very ill recently too so I’m not surprised!) So we returned home, fat and full, armed with gifts and happy memories.

And now for the best part of the day, my partner made me wait to open my present…

My husband’s family do table presents too and I think that’s a nice idea for Christmas Eve (and probably Boxing Day) to spread out the excitement a little.

Awww congratulations!! No wonder he made you wait 🙂 looks like Freddie had a great time to. Every family has a different tradition I like the sound of eating on Christmas Eve. We don’t open our presents until after Christmas Dinner which was interesting with a 3.5 year old! xx
