So I neglected my blog for a little bit there, so I am just going to do a small recap in pictures of bit of our Christmas. On the 23rd Charity had her annual family adult christmas party. It was full of loads of games, food, gifts , family and fun.
On Christmas Eve day, I went out shopping at the mall by myself for bit in the morning. I just had to get a last minute gift for Grant. I ended up finding myself some great deals on shirts as well (they had some boxing day sales going on early). When I got home, Grant needed to go out and get Damian's christmas present as well as some things for christmas eve. While he was gone, I did the advent calendar activity with the kids, which was the present game. I wrapped a gift with several different wrappings. There was a task to be done to open each layer. So everyone sits in a circle with 2 dice. They start rolling trying to get doubles. Once somebody gets doubles then it's their turn to work on the task. Once the task is completed, whoever finished the task gets to open one layer of the wrapping paper. Then you move onto a new task, until you've unwrapped each layer of the wrapping paper. Whoever opens the last wrapping gets the present. The tasks were things such as, colouring a picture, reading a book, doing a puzzle etc. The kids had fun. The present at the end was "Indiana Jones Lego II" video game for the PS3.
They were very excited about it. When Grant got back, he brought McDonalds for dinner the kids worked on some food crafts (like how Tyson made himself comfortable lying on the table to help?) 
The kids got ready for bed and then they got to have christmas eve treats while watching "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (Grants favourite movie of all time). After that, the kids went to bed and Grant and I put the presents out for the morning...
