Tiernan's best bud, Sam is going home on Friday for 6 weeks. We decided that since they are inseparable at the moment, we wanted them to experience their first "Real Christmas" (last year they were merely little blobs of puke).
We took them to see Santa together. Lets just say that Tiernan was a little perturbed by the whole experience, which amused me as he is generally do fearless, but I have seen this phenomena time and time again with kids, Santa is one scary dude when you are 1 and a bit! Sam was a lot more composed and actually sat on the old fella's lap for a while after we removed an almost hysterical T man. He was waving and blowing kisses bye, it obviously is something that you grow in to!
We brought them home and let them both nap at my house. When they got up we decided to try and get a few festive photos of them together where T wasn't looking so scared. 
We then let them open their presents from each other! I was eagerly awaiting a flurry of wrapping paper and ribbon, but they seemed more content playing with the boxes. I think I need to lower my expectations for Christmas Morning already! Once we had helped them unwrap their presents they had great fun playing with their new toys, although they both seemed more interested in the other ones toy - go figure!
They had dinner together and watched a show and we put them down to bed and then us adults sat and had a nice dinner, a few drinks and a load of laughter!
Tiernan is going to miss Sam terribly while he is gone.
