'Twas the night before Christmas .... and as Alexander blissfully slept, his mum and Sarah were busy stuffing the Christmas stocking(s). I'm not too sure who is the most excited at the moment - Sarah or Kim. Anyhow, Christmas Eve has always been a fun time in our house - even before Alexander was born. Kim is in her element slinking around organising the presents and stocking. I remember how we had to wait for Sarah to fall asleep before we could do anything. Alexander is much easier at the moment - 7pm and he is dead to the world - which means Kim and I can have a little time to ourselves before it all starts again in the morning - at 5am probably!

PS Looking forward to the morning because Mum and Dad are joining us on Skype when the kids get into the presents. Isn't the internet great? The UK is not so far away from NZ at times. Merry Christmas all - Dave B.
