Boxing Day

Monday - Boxing Day. 26 December, 2005.

We woke up at exactly 7:38 this morning, just when our Amy's and Chris's plane landed at Edinburgh Airport (according to the Continental website). I got online to check some emails, and at around 8:30am, they showed up to in a taxi! How good it was to see them!

We poured a cup of coffee, had our first smoke break, and then we sat in the flat to catch up a wee bit. There flight was bumpy, but tolerable and on time with no lost luggage. A quick tour of the house (functional, not historic) and then the girls changed and showered for a trip to Dalkieth! Considering it is Boxing Day, we were fortunate to find a few places open so we grabbed a pub meal and a couple of pints at Sams! Amy was especially happy with orange juice in her drink, which was good, because they didn't have Absolut and she had to deal with Smirnoff.

They are napping now, after an episode or two of Little Britain ("Bitty, Bitty!!"). I'll wake them at 5pm for our Boxing Day party. Should be a good time! Tim's been cooking for the party most of the day - a fire, a mix of Scottish and American friends, food, drinks and games, Can't wait!
