Well, obviously today is Christmas.We woke up really late compared to other years - 0730. I had to go and wake Will and Gus up, but Mum and Dad were already awake. We went out to open our presents. We opened the ones from Santa first, and then we swapped presents with each other. I got a new yellow dress, new shoes, new SingStar microphones, a new book, highlighters, a calendar, a beach towel and a trip to Sydney with Mum.
I gave Dad a book called How To Keep House: The Lost Art of Being A Man. He laughed. Me and Gus gave Mum some new gym clothes and a bag. We also shared a present for Will and got him FIFA 09 on PS2. For Gus I got a book - H.I.V.E. When I gave it to him, he wasn't very impressed, but I found out that was because he had just thought that Santa wasn't real and as really upset.
I called Grandma and Grandad to say Merry Christmas, because they are spending some time in Melbourne, and I ended up speaking to Grandma, Grandad, Bonnie, Louis, Mietta and Aunty Helen. Once I was off the phone, we had croissants from Jean Claude.
Then we went down to the beach. It was only 20C, but is was really nice once you got in the water. We only stayed for a little while because Mum didn't go in the water and she got cold. When we got home, me and Mum got ready to go and visit Grandma. When we got there, Aunty Ann, Uncle Tom, Cahir and Lily were there. We gave Colleen a hamper to say thank you, and she started crying.
We gave Grandma her present and a card, and talked to the others for a while. Then we went home. Will started making us some more breakfast, this time pancetta and egg on toast. While he was cooking, me and Mum played the SingStar ABBA will had gotten her. We were both really bad, but it was fun anyway. When Will had finished cooking, we went up and ate. We also did crackers then as well, and we all told each other the really bad jokes from the crackers.
After that we just chilled for a while and played with our presents. Then we had to start getting ready to go to Mel's for dinner.
We left really late, but we were the first people there - besides Tony, Mel, Jack, Rose, Sam, Julian, Clea and Ella. After not very long, Aunty Ann, Uncle Tom and Lily arrived, but Julian, Clea and Ella had to go, so we gave Clea and Ella their presents. Then Uncle Sime, Aunty Mer, Em, Tom, Maggie and Finn arrived. Me and Em started to play SingStar, and then Maggie and Rosie came and started playing too. After we had been playing for a while, Maggie left to go play on the scooter Sam had gotten and I went for a swim with Will, Gus and Finn. When I got out, we had dinner and opened our presents. My present was from Tony and Mel, and they gave me SingStar ABBA, but we already have it, so they're going to swap it for something else. Then we went inside and me, Rosie and Maggie started doing SingStar again. We took in turns to sing, and while we waited for our turn, we dressed up in Em's high heels and pretended to be models. It was really fun. Then we went out for the dessert that Mum had made. There were tarts and also pavlova. We had the pavlova with cream, strawberries and chocolate on top.
Then me and Rosie went in and did another song on SingStar, and then went out the back and jumped on the trampoline singing Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Then we went back inside and sang another song and went back out on the trampoline. After that, Rosie and Em kept playing, and I played dodge with the boys. After a while of playing dodge, I went back and watched Em and Rosie do SingStar.
When it got really late, we had to go home.
