Christmas Day 2021....Part Two

Once we got lunch sorted we played a few play station games with the kids, then we had our starters.

After starter we went in and opened some presents from under the tree.

My gifts.

Isn't this the most gorgeous gift box ever!!🦩🦩

And look what was in it 🙌, would you believe Cerys found this for me in an Op shop!.

Cerys also found this wiggles t shirt for Jodie at an op shop, this will be perfect for the 30 years The Wiggles concert they are going to in February.

Cerys got a Lilo & Stitch candle from Darren.

My gifts from Darren.

Jodie's gifts from Darren.

My girls know me so well 😍

I got a gorgeous Palm Springs phone cover from Cerys.

It matches my nails.

I got a pair of Peter Alexander pink fluffy slippers, very blingy...very me!! and a couple of gorgeous pairs of Peter Alexander pyjamas.

How adorable are these PJ puppies 💗

After opening some presents we headed out to the cabana to have lunch.

We opened our crackers and donned our celebrity names.

Scott got Daniel Ricciardo

Jodie got Manu Feildel

Darren got Miranda Kerr

Cerys got Cate Blanchett

I got Isla Fisher.

We opened our twist of fun gifts.

We then went back inside and played a few more games before opening our secret Santa's.

The moment he thought it was Boss and Bross! 😂😂

I was Darren's secret Santa so he got some funny drinking shot glasses,

And a tin of haggis with a neep and a tattie, a can of Irn bru, Tunnock's teacake and a couple of Tunnock's caramel wafers.

Someone knows I LOVE flamingos 🦩🦩🦩

We then played a few more games then Cerys and I went into the spa for a while, and Darren went to Jack's.

Before we watched our Christmas day movie we opened the rest of our presents.

I honestly don't know where he is going to put this! 🤔

And that is a wrap for Christmas day 2021.

The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons.
