Tadhg and Sadhbh's Christmas!

Tadhg woke up at 5:30am on Christmas morning as per usual. Once he remembered what day it was he led dad down the stairs to see if Santa had arrived. First stop was under the Christmas tree to find it surrounded by presents. Then he ran to the fireplace to check if the Christmas stockings were full, and they were! Tadhg had to wait to open his presents until Sadhbh and mom came down so he was satisfied with looking in his stocking first. He was delighted to find a Pokemon video and some other treats.

Sadhbh woke up soon after her brother and came down like it was a normal morning. Tadhg tried to show his sister that Santa had arrived but Sadhbh didn't understand. Finally she saw the Dora the Explorer chair that Santa had left for her and she ran over to sit in it. She was so delighted with her Dora chair that she didn't notice the other presents Santa had left. Tadhg was excited that he could open the rest of his presents now and was thrilled to see a Nintendo DS and a Pokemon game as well as new Pokemon cards! He wasn't too interested in non-Pokemon presents.

After the present opening everyone sat down to a Christmas breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup. Tadhg and dad went to Christmas mass in the parish church while Sadhbh had a nap and then it was off to Auntie Kay's house for Christmas dinner and more present opening. Tadhg and Sadhbh were excited to be with their cousins and to get even more presents. Mom and dad were happy to put their little Christmas monkeys to bed and relax after a wonderful day.
