Christmas Day 2021

It’s fair to say that Christmas with kids is like being a kid all over again. There is something special about seeing Darcey’s face as she sees the mountain of toys left by Santa. The fun begins by noticing some footprints, empty glass of milk and munched carrots and bell left by the reindeers.

Darcey, as always did really well. The main event was a cool new bike from HipKids. Cool retro vibes and a basket to boot! Personalised of course. She seemed a little hesitant at first, but eventually got on board. Clearly need to take her out and burn some rubber. Probs take a bit of time to get some confidence. In the meantime, she enjoyed me pushing her around the house. Other cool things were a watch, a potions kit, a make-up kit, a craft kit and a marble run (I was keen to have a go at that). Funny thing is that out of all the cool stuff, she was most drawn to a dinosaur truck. Oh well, kid was happy. Mel got a beautiful dress and some Harry Potter Merch. I got a joint pressy this year, a new lens :-) Plus some cool Rick and Morty swimmers, and a craft beer set. The fur babies got some chew toys and treats.

As always, the morning flew by, and we headed off to Grandpa’s for dinner. I was a tad excited about my potential secret Santa… and thankfully i was in luck. New camera cage. hashtag nerd alert! Lots of fun, food and family goodness. Happy days all round and Merry Xmas.
