Against the odds, she managed to sleep until about 6:40 am on Christmas morning, but once awake, the idea of drifting back to sleep was firmly off the agenda. A few minutes later she was belting down the stairs desperate to see if the reindeer food had delivered on the promise on the packet and directed Santa towards the house. A look of suitably child-like enchantment and wonder played about her face as she took in the scene, and dived towards the tottering piles of brightly wrapped presents, uncertain which to rip open first. That was Christmas morning for Cath anyway; Olivia chose simply to look on impassively, barely a single emotion registering on her face.

But as the picture above shows we did finally manage to capture photographic evidence of Olivia in full smiling mode, an image that has eluded us until now. A smile from Olivia being, of course, the greatest gift that either myself or Cath got this year. Though saying that, the Amy Winehouse album I got from my Mum is also pretty good.
