The woof alarm, i.e. Leia, woke us up and I went down to keep her company after taking her out for her walk. She does not like walking about at night. Well, in the dark.
Later my wife took great pleasure in waking my daughter. Revenge for may years of her rushing into our room shouting about how it is Christmas was sweet for her.
I had intended to help with cooking but was not able to do so having not slept that well. But I was woken for lunch which we all enjoyed. Later in the day we played a game of scrabble. My son almost won, but I pipped him at the last. I am proud of him and would have been pleased deep down if her had beaten me.
The day was very different to our Christmas last year, but we all agreed that having Leia with us made it better. I think that she felt left out when it came to eating lunch naps well as opening our presents. But thanks to one of the patients that I have seen, she got to enjoy Christmas as well when she got a present.
