Christmas in the Stapleton house this year was a really fantastic one!! DH's sister Leanne and her two boys came to stay with us over the festive period and considering there was 3 adults and 4 children living in the house for 5 days ... it was a really chilled out Christmas!!!
The kids all got on so well together, especially Megan and her eldest Ethan. There is literally just a few months between Megan and Ethan and they were thick as thieves by the end of the first day!! Nathan and Dylan as the younger two did have a few "moments" mainly due to not wanting to share the PlayStation and take turns properly, but on the whole they really did get on brilliantly.
Because there was an extra adult on hand, the atmosphere in the house was so much more relaxed too. Leanne and I also had very similar "methods" with dealing with any fall outs between the kids, so it just worked brilliantly!
Cousins L-R ..... Dylan, Megan, Nathan & Ethan
It HAS to be said that I am so proud of both of my kids and the way they behaved over Christmas! Megan's behaviour was so good that I literally had absolutely nothing to bollock her for whatsoever ... and considering Nathan's ADHD/Aspergers and the very different way things were done with extra people in the house, he did so well too. I'm proud of both of them!!
