Day 3.349: Fun packed!

In many ways it seems like Christmas got started with our gathering at church last night. Before that there had been lots of stress - since then relatively little, including all day today happily.

We spent most of the morning working our way through opening presents - doing them batch by batch so we could all think about who had sent them since most are a long way away. Skype did not let us down when it counted and we had two short but successful video calls.

Lunch was a triumph thanks to Exile #2's planning and hard work and the afternoon was spent playing games and watching The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on DVD. After the kids went to bed we watched the Dr Who Christmas special - so all is well in our little corner of the world.
