Happy Christmas!

Bob blows out a tune!

Amazingly Christmas in the Hickman household started just before 7am (Audrey is often awake at 5.30am). Both Audrey and Eli were hyped up about their main presents (a Barbie and fire truck respectively) and so everything else took 2nd place until these boxes were torn open.

Although we didn't go overboard with presents, the packages that had flown in from the UK meant that they had a pile of new toys to play with. Over the preceding couple of weeks (during various tantrums) we had talked to the kids about Santa 'making his list', 'checking it twice' etc and had even had a couple of earnest conversations with St.Nick on the phone (in earshot of both Audrey and Eli obviously) but in the end he came through with the goods, despite the kids being both naughty and nice at various times in the last year.

Here's some pics of the children with their stash.
