Hi Laurien, this was just so special to watch each child open parents individually while the siblings were just as thrilled for each and every present for them....BEAUTIFUL! Really loved Curtis reaction to what Santa brought the children.....PRICELESS! And the food looked.....PHENOMINAL! You both gave your family a gorgeous 2022 Xmas.....EXCEPTIONAL. XXX

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

@bevtooth yeah Curtis always isn't sure he agrees because him and his brother rushed and opened them in seconds and I do understand the excitement but I just want to watch each of them open them. It's how me and my brothers and sisters did it. Awww thank you so much! It does doesnt it makes me sad before theyre even grown!

Happy New Year Fran! Aw thank you, It's 3 of their birthdays soon so I try and make sure they will play with everything they get, I find so many gifts get wasted from experience so we do our best to make sure we don't just buy things for the sake of it. Hope your weekend is going well xxx

Aw my eldest brother waited and he had 6 younger siblings hes fine! Honestly he doesn't mind. I just enjoy watching them open the gifts it makes me happy. No malicious reasons for it I just like to appreciate them open their gifts or I'll miss it. We all do things differently and I like to watch their excitement

[@debadamsuksouthwales6766]

That was lovely seeing their little face's all the excitement what time did they wake up and dinner looked lovely and the brie that looked amazing you and Curtis work so well together such a lovely family making lots of memories I wish I had videos of mine I have a few with the old video cameras I should get them out show the grandchildren we spend so much time preparing for Christmas then it's over so quickly 🤗💞🙏

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Thank you so much Deb. They weren't up too early, the boys all got up shut their door and spent some time looking at their stockings together before we all got up which was sweet to hear. Awww yes you should show your grandchildren that would be sweet. xxx
