Christmas Eve was spent just getting things ready but we managed to pop out to a local restaurant for some lunch.
It was the first time that it was just the "4" of us out for a meal on our own. We had a lovely time and I ate my food really well.
Once I was in bed, Mummy and Daddy sorted out the living room and took a couple of pictures.
Mummy had set her alarm for 7am as I had been waking up a bit later than that recently and we needed to be up quite early so that we could fit everything in.
Mummy didn't actually need her alarm as I woke up a couple of minutes before 7. Mummy and Daddy came in to get me and pointed out my stocking by my bed. I was so excited, I sat up and clapped.
Mummy and I sat on the bed waiting for Daddy to come back upstairs with the cups of tea. I had to wait for ages before I could finally get in my stocking.
We then went downstairs and opened presents from under the tree. We did get some video of it but Mummy isn't able to post it because it isn't working properly.
I received loads of lovely gifts, too many to mention. Thank you to everyone for my amazing presents.
Daddy and I then went back to bed for a quick nap but I didn't sleep, Daddy did. Mummy spent her time getting everything packed up and cleared away.
We went to Nanny and Grandad George's house for our lunch.
When we got there, we were greeted by loads more presents, and I had another stocking.
It wasn't long before we were ripping open loads of presents. I really loved my cars and Mummy and Daddy were very happy with their gifts too. Thank you Nanny, Grandad and Uncle Dave.
We all sat up to the table, apart from Grandad and ate loads of lush food. I really enjoyed the trifle and squirty cream.
After lunch, everyone was feeling a bit sleepy. I had a nice cuddle with Uncle Dave.
A little while after, the adults played a DVD game and had lots of fun messing around. The teams were girls V boys but I think it was a draw in the end. I was just interested in playing with the CD and DVD cases.
We had to leave at about 3:30pm, so everyone helped to load up the car and we were on our way.
I fell asleep in the car and when we arrived at Nanny and Grandad Rennolds' house, Mummy tried to put me down in a travel cot to continue my nap. I stayed there for about 10 minutes before I was screaming to get out. I had hardly any sleep.
We were soon at it again, opening loads of presents and just generally causing chaos. I received yet more lovely gifts and so did Mummy and Daddy. Everyone was very happy with what they got.
I couldn't play with my new toys as Daddy had hidden them away in our room. That meant I had to play with all the other toys. It didn't matter. I still really enjoyed myself.
I then played on the real thing with my cousin Kamron.
In the evening, I wouldn't go to bed. I just didn't like it and I wasn't really sure what was going on, so Mummy and Daddy let me stay up. I ran around but also sat quietly watching the adults playing on the Wii. They all looked so funny but they had a laugh.
By 10:15pm, Mummy had had enough and put me to bed. I just cried it out for a few minutes and then I was gone.
Mummy and Daddy stayed up late playing and came to bed at gone mid-night.
In the morning, Mummy got up with me and went just chilled out downstairs until the others started to follow.
Charley, Chloe and Auntie Karen were the first ones to make it, then Grandad, then Nanny, Daddy and Uncle Craig.
Everyone was up and dressed by 10am and getting ready to go out for a nice walk. We didn't go so after everyone had left, we got ourselves ready and went home, via McDonald's.
I was asleep in the car and Mummy put me into bed when we got home. I didn't stay there for long.
Late afternoon, both sets of Nanny and Grandads' came over and Uncle Dave. There was food and games and everyone had fun catching up.
When I had my dinner, I was shattered. So tired in fact that I fell asleep in my highchair, which I have never done before, and I didn't even finish my favourite thing, an orange.
I didn't have a bath or milk and was put to bed at 5:30pm. I stayed there until nearly 8:30am the following morning.
The adults played Trivial Pursuit and Charades before going home at about 10:30pm.
Mummy and Daddy showered and went to bed.
The following morning I played with all my new toys.
We just relaxed at home until about 3:30pm when we went out to visit lots of our friends.
There was so many people there, I will list them:
Nanny and Grandad Rennolds
Auntie Katie, Alex, Chloe, Kamron
Auntie Lucy, Craig, Shauna, Ashlee
Jaimie, Richard, Ria
Sue, Jeff
Dave
Angela, James
Me, Mummy and Daddy
We had a lovely time but unfortunately couldn't stay for very long as I needed to get home to bed.
This is a picture of me with Grandad Rennolds, Ashlee and Ria. Ria's birth was due one week before mine but she ended up being 3 weeks early so there is actually a month between us.
Daddy did the early shift on Sunday and we spent most of the day playing in the living room.
After my nap, Daddy suggested we go out. So I put on my new coat, hopped onto my new bike and went to the park.
It was freezing!
We went into Sainsbury's to warm up for a bit and Mummy and Daddy bought some gloves. Unfortunately the cafe was shut so they were unable to get any hot tea.
We walked home quite quickly and it was really nice to get into a warm home.
We all had something to eat and then it was soon time for bed. I was allowed to use my bath crayons for the first time, which was lots of fun.
Monday morning, Daddy did the early shift again. Mummy was very pleased and really loved the extra rest.
Mummy was up just after 10am and then Daddy got a 20 minute snooze before he left to go and do something for Grandad Rennolds.
Mummy gave me my lunch and then put me to bed.
When Daddy got home, Mummy went out to meet up with Nanny and Grandad for a bit of lunch. She had a lovely time and really enjoyed her meal.
Daddy and I just messed around until she got home.
The rest of the afternoon was just playing and generally having fun until Mummy did bath and bed routine.
Daddy went out to play some pool with a friend and Mummy did this huge blog entry that you have just read.
