Happy Holidays..

is what we have had over the last week. Seems hard to believe that it has almost been a week since xmas eve. In the run up to xmas we were busy with parties, last minute shopping, trips to the movies (we all three can all recommend eragon) and generally getting ready for the big event. Sam was so exicited by xmas eve that I am amazed that he went to sleep at all. The big day itself was nice-we were at home and spent the morning playing with toys and the afternoon munching and watching james bond movies. Boxing day M's parents came for lunch and we had a lovely time with them. M was back at work the next day and sam and I have spent this week just pottering and trying not to cough too much!

Sam was delighted with all his presents and has spent the past week making lego creations of all varieties. He just can't get enough of it and has taken to playing with it in bed after I put the light out. Don't ask me how-the nightlights must be stronger than I thought. He has also really enjoyed the game safari rush hour and so have I. It is very addictive and he is much better at it than I am. We have also spent hours playing his new zoo tycoon game-this edition has the option for a marine park and a dino park. He has taken great delight in letting his dinos loose on the zoo guests-needless to say that zoo went out of business very quickly! I think he is trying to recreate jurassic park!

A quiet night planned for tomorrow, munchies, a film and a bottle of bubbly. Doubt that we will even make it up to midnight. Monday sam and I are going to take down all the decorations and start on thank you notes. After that is back to normals with lots of birthdays to look forward to. All the boys have their birthdays in the next 3 months and not only is sam planning on what to get them already but he is also starting to plan his own party. The current thinking is a scooby doo party, where the guests have to solve a mystery. Could be fun as long a I don't have to dress up.

In case I don't get a chance to blog tomorrow Happy New Year to everyone and may you have a wonderful 2007.
