Peter and I got up and got the video camera and crept into the kid’s room. Then we both shouted IT’S CHIRSTMAS! Daniel was first up the Maddy. It didn’t seem to wake Alex up so I got on the bed, grabbed his feet and started its Christmas, its Christmas! And finally he woke up. He was a little shocked at first but got up quickly and ran through the house and on to the patio where Maddy and Daniel were waiting. “Can we open the? Can we?” Daniel asked me. “Yes you can open your presents now.” Peter said back to Daniel. As soon as he said that they all started ripping open the presents. Daniel opened his and got new race cars he wanted. Maddy was next she got the dress she had wanted for a long time and last was Alex who got a new skate board. After a while of opening presents I got a new book and Peter got the software he was looking for. Soon after that we all went down to breakfast. It was one of the best breakfasts I had ever had. After breakfast we walked to the beach. We played in the blue waves and we played with the new ball the kids got. We were there the whole day until dinner.

We went to a restaurant and had a traditional Christmas dinner with turkey and potatoes and everything else you would have at home. After dinner we all ran down to the beach with many other families like us. We got given a floating lantern and on the count of three everyone let go of their and a loud cheer was let out. When we got back to the room, Maddy Daniel and Alex fell asleep straight away. Peter and I stayed up for a bit longer. But soon we were asleep to.
