Coby's Blog Christmas,Year 4 Christmas Day 2018

Christmas Day 2018

Christmas Day this year was lovely and we all enjoyed it thoroughly. It was also the first year ever where the boys had to come and wake me and Kelly up! They managed to stay in bed until 7:05 as well, which was a miracle but typical really as they are usually up much earlier than that and we wouldn’t have been mad if they got up earlier on this one day a year!! haha

They were all excited when they saw their stockings and dragged them into our bedroom and up onto the bed. Coby could barely move his as it was packed to the rim and was almost the same height as him!! Before we dived into the stockings, Kelly had to go down and turn the oven on for the Turkey as we had a massive one this year which would take all morning to cook. The boys could hardly contain themselves during the waiting but just about managed to hold on until Kelly came back upstairs. Everyone then started opening their stocking presents from Father Christmas. The boys all had some lovely stuff including the usual chocolates and sweets, books, clothes, little things to make and other goodies. They were all very happy with what they had!

Once we had all opened our stocking presents, we ventured downstairs to find that Father Christmas had left lots of presents for everyone. Again, the boys could hardly contain themselves, especially Coby who was extremely excited! But we usually have shortbread for breakfast before we open our main presents, so we had that and a drink and then set about opening our presents, one at a time.  As usual, Coby wanted to play with each present that he opened but we had to keep telling him to hold on until they had all been opened, otherwise bits would get lost.  All of them had some great presents from Father Christmas, us and family. Coby’s main presents were a new scooter, an Everton training jacket, a dinosaur robot, a new electric toothbrush, a remote controlled truck, some new indoor football boots and a box of Lego. Aaron had a brand new Fire HD tablet with case and bluetooth keyboard, a Racing Track Set (like Scalextrix), an Everton training jacket, a Lego Camper Van (which he had been after for months!) and an electric toothbrush. Ben had his very first mobile phone and Harry Potter case, an Everton training jacket, Guitar Hero Live for the Wii U, Nerf Laser Ops game, some new bluetooth headphones and a Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit game.  They all loved having all of their presents and were very pleased when they opened each of them! 😉

We just about managed to open all the presents before dinner time, which we were all looking forward to! We had a lovely Roast Turkey dinner with starters and everyone scoffed loads! Dinner was actually slightly later than usual this year so we didn’t actually get time to watch Christmas Day Top Of The Pops during the day as the boys wanted to get on and play with their toys once we had finished eating. As usual, we then spoke to Grandma, Darren and Marina and Nan Nan and Pops on the laptop and we all told them (and showed them) what we had got. The boys were manic and trying to show them everything!! They then wanted some tea so they had some food and had another short play until it was bedtime.  They were all tired out but didn’t want to go to bed obviously, but Kelly and I wanted them to so we could have some peace! They eventually went up to bed at about 8pm, which was later than planned, and went to sleep, so Kelly and I sat down and relaxed for a couple of hours, though we were both tired out as well and I think we went to bed before 10pm!

We had all had a wonderful Christmas Day and our presents were all awesome from everybody.
