Well its almost 2pm and I havent opened a single pressie for me yet. Sigh!

It was all about James this morning.. honestly it was what Christmas was all about, his little face just lit the room. He made up 3 just over a week ago and he was mad for Santa Clause this year. He woke up and found one pressie on his bedroom chair and came screaming out of his room telling us that Santa had been, Santa had been... oh it was great :) He jumped on our bed and unwrapped his pressie which was a lovely book. He spent about 5 mins going through this book and looked up to me and said..'more presents?' His dad and I just laughed and said Oh I don't know.. have you been good enough to get more presents? Of course he said yes yes yes... lol!!

We went down the stairs and there was a light on in the lounge and the tree lights were twinkling.. and the room was full of presents... he could hardly contain his excitment. All he wanted was 'Big present' and in the centre of the room was a BIG present (Bob The Builder Work Station with all the tools all built up and wrapped ready to use). I thought he would go straight for it.. but he left it until the very last.

He is resting now and we saved his Thomas Train set until he wakes up (he is expecting Santa again this afternoon) so I thought I would leave my pressies until the guests arrive and we can open all together later. I will let you know if I have been a good girl and get lots of exciting pressies :)

I can honestly say its been the best Christmas ever .... and it was all down to that little look on my little lads face.. magical, truely magical :)
