Our Christmas Day - 2011

We had a perfect Christmas Day, beautiful weather, wonderful family and friends and delicious food in abundance!

 Who could ask for more?!

We had Christmas at home for 20 this year, I was exhausted by the end of the day but the day was all that I wanted it to be plus it won't be my turn to host for at least another 4 years :)

I was so happy to see blue skies for Christmas Day!

Any presents left in there?!

The stunning Bombe Alaska made by Simon's uncle.

Food, glorious food!

My parents, myself and the boys. My parents have been divorce for 23 years and I only have Christmas with the both of them together every 4 years or so, so it was great to get this pic :)

Everyone!

Simon, bump (26 wks) and I

Working off lunch.

All in all it was a fantastic day and I received some wonderful pressies.

How was your day? What was your favourite part of the day?

Second guessing myself!

So I thought I had this Christmas shopping caper all wrapped up but now I am second guessing myself!

I keep wondering whether I have bought the boys enough? 

Stupid I know, as I have struggled to buy them things as it is. As they REALLY don't NEED anything and haven't really asked for anything in particular. Although Jasper did ask for a real dinosaur and a toy one! 

Finn is questioning me about Santa and whether he is real or not and counting the presents under the tree to see if there is an even amount for himself and Jasper. It's all getting a bit hard!

We usually lay the Santa sacks out on Christmas Eve and I always feel that they should be bulging but I don't think they will be this year. Simon thinks I have plenty but I will probably keep an eye out for things leading up until Christmas. Just in case!

Do you second guess yourself when it comes to buying Christmas presents?
