Christmas - Part 2

It didn't take long for the boys to get their hands on some iPads.

The two Sebastians.

Looking like I've eaten a whole turkey.

Two week old Matilda snoozed through the fun. 

The kids get their secret Santa gifts. Things were surprisingly calm despite the 13 children on out table. 

Time for the adults secret Santa.

Post lunch playing and exploring.

 

The final surprise for the day, my lily flowered, yay!

I couldn't spend all day on my feet cooking this year and Andy's speciality of beans on toast isn't particularly festive so we decided to head to the Golf Club for their Christmas Brunch. We went with three other families and had a lovely few hours in the sunshine. All in all it was a very relaxing Christmas.

Christmas - part 1

Santa made it to the Ellis house! There were stockings, presents galore and three very excited children in our home on Christmas morning. Thank you very much to everyone for all the lovely gifts, the kids were thrilled.

Christmas Eve carols in the desert

We started off with a picnic in the sunshine.

Followed by some fun running down dunes.

Watching the sun go down.

Marshmallows on the bonfire.

Carol singing.

Treats ready for Santa and the reindeer. And a sneaky chocolate off the tree for Sebastian.

On Christmas Eve we headed out to the desert with a huge group of friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends and had a great time playing in the dunes as the sun went down, eating Christmas treats, roasting marshmallows and singing carols.
