Best Christmas ever!

I think last night was the best Christmas Eve I've ever had. It was quiet, calm, happy and it was our own. The girls and I dressed up in our national dresses and Bob put on his piggy tie and we had dinner together around six, a leg of lamb (courtesy of Kristín Lára) with sauce, rice and veggies, then fruit and ice cream and after that we opened our gifts - all but one. We let the girls leave their biggest parcel until this morning, it's a Thomas the tank engine train and road track, a huge thing that covers half of the living room floor - almost! We put it together this morning and they've been playing with it most of the day. We also got Sólveig Lilja a little camera and she's been playing with that a lot, taking pictures of very poor quality! But she's happy. The rest of the day, what was left over after we put the track together, we've spent looking for and downloading drivers and software for that camera!

The girls stayed up until around nine o'clock last night. After we'd put them into bed, we watched Batman, the Dark Knight. Or I did, Bob slept through it! It's quite a good film, darker than the first one, but Heath Ledger is absolutely brilliant in that film! He's without a doubt the star of that film and does deserve the academy award for it. What a shame, that guy is no longer alive.
