ailbheEmer woke at her usual time, and didn't seem excited in the least until I said "Do you know what day it is?"
TISSMASS!
She got very excited about presents and so Rob, Emer and I went downstairs. We did all try to wake Linnea but she wasn't having any (Linnea doesn't like waking up). So Emer opened her stocking and was hugely delighted by everything in it. Then when Linnea came down Emer was hugely delighted by everything Linnea got, too.
Rob and I opened our stockings and the children were very excited all over again.
Then they played with their toys and I fell asleep. Rob started dinner in a slightly off-schedule manner and woke me to ask for help, and I rejigged the timetable and helped a bit, and we ate about an hour late in the end. Then we went for a walk and came home and opened presents.
Emer didn't really mind who the presents were for, as long as they were exciting and got opened.
I slept again after presents. Then I went to bed slightly before the children and slept some more.
I turned my laptop off before lunch and left it off until this afternoon, which was nice. I also didn't touch my phone until yesterday evening, St Stephen's Day. This was a Good Idea and a Great Thing.
We were going to go ice-skating today but didn't. We might go tomorrow.
