We have :-) Been thoroughly spoilt and enjoyed delicious food!! Just going to do a quick recap of the day with some pictures thrown in!
.
Late night last night ... busy wrapping the last of the presents and putting them under the tree. The kids were funny this morning ... took them quite a while to notice the presents where there ... but oh boys when they did there was trouble! They were only allowed to open 1 present before breakfast ... very hard to stop little fingers fingering and oh so carefully, accidentally on purpose, pulling wrapping off!!!
Aunty Irene came for breakfast ... which was at 8am. We had a yum breakie which I forgot to take a photo of! (silly me). Nice crusty bread, cream cheese, basil pesto, tomatoes, cereals, yoghurt, strawberries, mango, melon, hot chocolate and coffee (oh and cold water for me!) :-).
The present opening began pretty much as soon as the kids had finished breakfast and we'd cleared the table!! Here's Aaron with his first present and the expression was pretty much the same for all presents after that! lol Such excitement!!!
And Maddison was much the same!
And of course there was a bit of this ... Maddison trying to help (actually she was just trying to take the wrapping paper away to put in the rubbish bag but Aaron thought she was after his Thomas track!!). 
Hugs for the dolly that Grandad & Nana gave her :-) (Thank you)
VERY DEEP CONCENTRATION going on here with Aaron's most bestest favouritest present ... a "laptop" from Grandad and Grandma!! It's a Hot Wheels game laptop ... it's already had about 3 time out sessions today!!! (I suspect it will have a lot more too!!)
And look what Father Christmas (or should I say Lyndon!) bought for me!!!!!!!!!! Am I spoilt or what. I am still in shock actually ... not sure what exactly I have done to deserve such a fantastic present, but whatever ... I am sure going to enjoy it! :-)
Here's Maddison checking out one of her presents wearing a new dress from Nana & Grandad and a hat from us.
We went out for lunch (back to that Chocolate place!!) hehehe. Very yum ... Here's the kids enjoying their shared chocolate drink again. (new camera in action here!)
And this was my dessert ... that chocolate sauce was just delicious :-) 
So there you have it. We got home about 4ish. Irene left soon after that and we've just lazed around, had tea, bathed the kids, put them to bed, done the dishes and now I'm about to head to bed myself.

Merry Christmas from our household to yours.
Merry Christmas, Rachel & family! Aaron & Madison sure look excited about their presents! They did well to hold off opening presents until after breakfast ... my kids opened all of theirs and then finally had some toast on the run (ie. inbetween playing with new toys) ... LOL :-D
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Rachel, and a Happy New Year.
fulltime mom
Merry Christmas Rachel ... now did your expression match the kids when you opened your presents?! sounds like you've had a lovely day.
My word! You certainly scored on that one woman! :) I think you deserve it though, and this has certainly been your year in terms of crafty stuff ;)
LOL at the kids... much the same here. Tim's best present was his barn from Nan, everything else paled into insignificance after that.
Rod/I didn't bother with getting each other presents but I did score a Cuttlebug font at half price today in the boxing day sales :) He bought himself an iPod touch which is rather cool.
Merry Christmas Rachel & family! I'm in so big awe of your new equipment! LOL! but you certainly deserve it after all the hard work you have done on your projects! Looking forward to seeing more photos of your new created works!
