Morgan was suitably impressed, surprised and delighted.<\/p>\n<h2>Christmas Day<\/h2>\n<p>Christmas Eve was the usual story with Morgan not being able to get to sleep until gone midnight. Needless to say Anna and I were up late too so as to make sure Morgan was sleeping well before Santa arrived. This meant that Anna and I were also awake on Christmas morning before Morgan and had to wait for him to get up. When he finally woke up, Santa had been and the stocking at the end of his bed was overflowing. He opened these presents in our bed and then we got up and breakfasted on freshly baked croissants and coffee. There were plenty of presents under the tree waiting for us too.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-23570 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Family-photo-in-front-of-the-tree.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Family-photo-in-front-of-the-tree-200x133.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Family photo in front of the tree\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Family-photo-in-front-of-the-tree-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Family-photo-in-front-of-the-tree-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Family-photo-in-front-of-the-tree.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23577'>\n\t\t\t\tFamily photo in front of the tree\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Presents-under-the-tree.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Presents-under-the-tree-133x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Presents under the tree\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Presents-under-the-tree-133x200.jpg 133w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Presents-under-the-tree.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 133px) 100vw, 133px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23586'>\n\t\t\t\tPresents under the tree\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Morgan-on-Christmas-Day.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Morgan-on-Christmas-Day-200x133.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Morgan on Christmas Day\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Morgan-on-Christmas-Day-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Morgan-on-Christmas-Day-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Morgan-on-Christmas-Day.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23583'>\n\t\t\t\tMorgan on Christmas Day\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Breakfast.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Breakfast-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Christmas Day Breakfast\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Breakfast-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Breakfast-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Breakfast.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23573'>\n\t\t\t\tChristmas Day Breakfast\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2>Christmas Presents<\/h2>\n<p>We soon got stuck in opening all of the presents.

anywhere near as long to eat as it had to cook, but it was of course lovely. I then headed over to the beach to go windsurfing and try out my new mast mount for my GoPro. Unfortunately, there just wasn&#8217;t quite enough wind for my 5m sail &#8211; I should have taken a bigger one with me. I did manage\u00a0to get going once or twice and played with the camera angle a little but there wasn&#8217;t much to show from it today.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day was spent chilling, watching films and eating ourselves silly.
