Christmas with Nana La La







Off to Nelson we went the kids us and the cat much to mums horror :D what a great time the kids got spoilt had such a great time. on Christmas eve Mum and I decided in great Boote tradition that a drinking session was what was needed so at 1.45pm mum cracked the first Vodka RTD well by 2pm we had finished 4 already damn they tasted good Anne and Rob and a couple of her friends turned up and it was all go Bob and Simon were inside bein sober and mum and I were well on our way to happyville kids were set with fine nelson weather and a big steep driveway to have some fun. Well needless to say after lots of Vodka RTD finished I was onto the Vodka bottle very happy indedd and by 9.30pm I was quite nicely sloshed and ready for bed kids were tucked up waiting for the jolly fat man to arrive with pressies so off I went to fall into bed . 5am yes thats right 5am i hear a MUM MUM WAKE UP SANTAS BEEN damn I wasnt ready for that one I managed to hold Sam off till 5.30 but it was all over rover he was awake and he wanted pressies Ben was rudley awoken by Sam and it was all on and by 6am it was all over the kids had trashed mums floor with wrapping paper and the pressies were all open and play time had begun it took alot of coffee to face the day and the really bad thing I knew I had another day of alcohol infront of me. The kids were fired up and ready to go out to try all the new toys and stuff so off we went feeling very sorry for myself i might add. Lunch was at mum Annes place more pressies for the boys spoilt little toads :D Simon (the NON drinker) was put in charge of making the cocktails suppose it was a good idea leave the sober one to the kitchen blender eww they were like razor blades goin down I really am not good at this Boote drinkin thing have to get some practice in I think gave up in the end and just drank water and coke it was alot easier on the stomach but it all ended up to be a great day and the kids had a great time so it was all good. Bob hadnt quite got the bike going by the time we were leaving but he did get it out of the garage and had the boys help him haul it up the drive then they hopped on the back and wheeled down the driveway Smiles all the way. Sam has since had a ride on the bike since but will fill you in on that one another time his month in Nelson was a very eventful one megs and mike will have a good laugh at that one I expect.
