How Old?
SWMBO and I had a quiet morning and a video chat with No1 son and family.
Butterfly has got 'Big Massive Unicorn' as a present (that is the name she has given it ... and it is very descriptive).
About midday we headed over to Bags' house where presents were unwrapped.
The Cygnet had been given a new 'big boy's bike' - BIG bike. Which he insisted on going out on it despite the rain. He had no problems riding it and was a very happy boy.
Squirrel is also 'into' unicorns at the moment and could not wait to get into her unicorn onesie and show it off - along with the same sized unicorn that Butterfly got.
Bags was also delighted to get into her onesie.
The day was spent drinking bubbly with homemade sloe gin (it turned out very well, even though I do say so myself) and playing games. The kids were given nothing requiring batteries or electricity this year (not a conscious decision by anyone it has to be said).
After a fantastic meal including what would appear to be very out of date cream (bought just a few days ago and obviously an error - it tasted just fine) we all sat down to play Trivial Pursuit with the kids (there is a set that is suitable for both kids and adults). It was surprising how much Squirrel knew (even she doesn't know how).
Once to bubbly and sloe gin was finished I just caried on with the gin - the bramble one ....... also a success. I am glad to say that I still have a bottle of each left.
