Happy Christmas everyone! We got wrapping done last night. Baby lazza has already given us best present by sleeping 6.30 to 5.15 last night with a brief wake at 2am. Thank bloody god. Long overdue. Didn't do anything different so she remains a mystery.

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas

Yay for walking but sorry about the bad night WL, hopefully you'll get a nice early night tonight.

Hope you feel better now you've been sick Hales.

Glad you can stay in Beasty, it looks terrible out there. Not too bad here just a bit of sleet and rain.

We had a shocker of a night. First I coughed for the first half of the night, then J coughed himself awake and I finally got to sleep just before 5. I am one huge snot bucket.

DP has gone to his incredibly opinionated nan and grandad's house but his grandad is immunocompromised so I can't go. Every cloud...

In horrific news - the kettle has sprung a leak! So I have to go to sainsburys for a new one, ON CHRISTMAS EVE! Oh the humanity! I'm going to buy some nibbles too while I have to go anyway.

Merry Christmas everyone!
We recovered (eventually) from being the house of sick and travelled to the UK this morning.

DH and I got up at 3:45 got dressed and got DS up at about 4:15. 4:30 ish Taxi to airport for check in at 5 am (yawn).
DS was a star on the plane and slept the last half hour - including the landing. We got to my brothers and have just enjoyed a nice 1 hour family nap. DS is still asleep.

Think we need to head into town for some essentials like baby spoons, a hairbrush for me and a few bits and bobs.

hales hope you don't have a bug! Very best speedy recovery wishes to you!
wl walking, yay! Hope you get more sleep tonight.
lazza hurrah for baby Lazza!

Wishing you all lots of sleepy Christmas babies for all the mummies and lots of great presents and food from the Nutella house! X

Jealous of lazza. Not jealous of willyou!

Welcome back nut. Hope you recover soon from your early start.

Welcome to the UK Nutella. Feel free to gorge yourself on mince pies and Pringles!

I went to sainsbos and it was empty! So I went to the mini asda across the road too. Got a kettle and loads of shit to eat!

Happy Christmas everyone!

We had an amazing gift last night - we got to go out for dinner as a couple for the first time since DS was born. As the weather was atrocious, we just went to a local restaurant, but it was lovely.

I hope everyone who is poorly feels better tomorrow, and that all the LOs sleep well tonight.

Happy Christmas eve everyone!
We have been absent due to Christmas being a two week affair this year. Dh has booked enough days off to spend it all with us and my parents are hosting us and pil as well, plus my df retired today so looking forward to a glorious time.

Here's to everyone's families and hoping for lovely first Christmases tomorrow.

Sorry for not replying to everything and me me me but.....

We've only just got power back after almost 24 hours without. Ffs I managed to get to work this morning but coming home was horrendous. There were 4x4s breaking down in the road that became a river. All roads out were flooded. I've had to abandon my car ten miles away. Luckily my dad rescued me (I will post a video of the rd on fb) but all the contents of my fridge freezer have to be chucked and it's just been a shit end to a shit year

Oh god spotty that's pretty shitty. Is that your Xmas dinner chucked out? I'd have cried. We were really lucky and didn't lose our power but it was all out for ages only a mile away.
DH is being a bit of a grinch - miserable bugger. I've given him a stern look so hopefully he's doing jolly bedtimes for dd1&2 now. Will pour some cider in him in a bit which should sort him out. I know he's just tired and we still have a lot to do but it's Xmas eve! Dd1&2 are being v excited and cute.
Poor T has 2 facial bruises - first one she sneeze head butted the tv table and second one she pulled the toilet lid down on her head! She's pretty snotty and didn't eat any tea so I'm not holding out for a good night.

Luckily we're not here for Christmas dinner so it was just 'normal' food. I've been up since 4:30 and am knackered

Oh no poor T!

Wrapping is finally done! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Happy Christmas. Hope everyone has a really special day.

spotty that's really shitty, I'm sorry.

Presents were wrapped, I showered and was in bed by midnight. DS woke up twice but he's back in his cot now.

Merry Christmas everyone!
