We had a wonderfully relaxing day yesterday. I like those kind of days. We had the big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve with all the yummy trimmings to go with it. That way we can be lazy things on Christmas Day itself. And we were!!
We cut up some ham & fried it up on the BBQ with some eggs in bread and some pumpkin. There is nothing like barbecued ham and pumpkin slices. They were delicious! Mark did a great job cooking it all. We had Mark's brother with us and our neighbour joined is too.
I was totally surprised with the boys. Well not totally but they were amazing. Absolutely no fighting yesterday. It made my day that they were able to get along so well together. I guess it had to do with the presents that they got which kept them busy. They were spoilt as usual. With the money that Dad sent over I went and bought a Play Station 2 for the bedroom & I got them a new LCD HD TV. They weren't expecting a flat screen tv. Mark & I (mostly Mark) were rather devious about the tv. We went to a second hand shop in town and got this really old television that we put under the tree on Christmas Eve. The boys thought that it was the TV we promised them for keeping their room tidy. They didn't realise that it was already in a box under the tree. You should've seen their faces light up when the finally opened the box yesterday morning. It was lovely to see them so happy & surprised!
If Christmas could be this relaxing and peaceful every year it would be wonderful. It makes me look forward to the next one (well maybe).
