Carrie Johnson has certainly gotten into the festive spirit after wishing her Instagram followers a very merry Christmas with an album of photos including her three children, three-year-old Wilfred, two-year-old Romy, and baby Frank - and the family are looking very festive indeed!
The video clips and photos including Wilfred and Romy sat by the fire while ringing bells and putting out a mince pie for Santa Claus (and a carrot for his reindeer, of course). Another photo showed Wilfred playing with a nativity set, as well as the family attending an event with Father Christmas himself!
Boris also made an appearance in the snaps, as he gave two thumbs up to the camera while dressed as Santa and decorating the family’s Christmas tree, while little Wilfred sat on the bottom step, watching his dad at work.
Fans were quick to comment on the post, with one writing: "What lovely children what a magical time for you all," while another person added: "I can feel the atmosphere in your home from your photos! Love the one of Boris up the ladder in his Father Xmas outfit! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas."
A third person added: "Oh that’s great! Have a lovely Christmas. Love Boris dressed as Father Christmas."
Carrie also revealed how they were making Christmas morning extra special for the youngsters, as she filmed snowy footprints from Santa Claus making their way out of the house through the kitchen door. We love it!
Carrie and Boris welcomed baby Frank back in July, with the mum-of-three announcing the happy news on Instagram. She wrote: "New team member arriving in just a few weeks [chick emoji]. I've felt pretty exhausted for much of the last 8 months but we can't wait to meet this little one… Wilf is very excited about being a big brother again and has been chattering about it nonstop. Don't think Romy has a clue what's coming… She soon will!"
Sharing news of his arrival, Carrie added: "Welcome to the world Frank Alfred Odysseus Johnson born 5th July at 9.15 am. (Can you guess which name my husband chose?!) Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten.
When do the Royal Family eat on Christmas Day?
Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who gave HELLO! an etiquette lesson earlier this year, also weighed in on the timings of the culinary feast that occurs at Sandringham over the festive season.
"At the end of Christmas Day… the royals must go to Weight Watchers," he joked, giving more detail about the endless courses enjoyed by the family.

"If they're going to have supper, which is unlikely, that would be between 10 and midnight," Grant explained. "And then they’ll start it all again the following morning," he concluded, but not before teasing: "In between that they've signed up to Weight Watchers."
"Thank you so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH. They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude. Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding? Time for a drink."
