happy christmas

I have been up since 03:30 with Babycake who just decided that it was time to get up.  Mrs McMuffin and Cupcake are soundly sleeping upstairs.  This really is one of those situations where you have to be careful for what you wish for.  Clever, curious child?  Got one of those.  Unfortunately, the price is that he does not like to sleep very much.  As it turns out, we have had a nice time watching Wallace and Gromit.  He hadn't seen these before and found them very funny.  Babycake has been enjoying his first real Christmas.  He now understands all about presents and the  Christmas tree, which he helped put up.  It was a bit of an effort to persuade him not to open the presents we put under the tree or that they weren't all his. It has been a very relaxing countdown to Christmas this year.  We went to Ms Gypsy Tart's for dinner last night and we are off to Mrs McMuffin's parents for dinner today.  Got some friends coming round tonight to eat, drink and play what has become our traditional once-a-year board games.  Mrs McMuffin has got some fantasy Christmas with the children in her head.  She has bought them both little sets of pyjamas and insisted that the video camera is charged up and ready to go.  I'll post some photos later. 

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas.
