Well it's finally arrived, we woke up this morning with blue skies, sunshine streaming in through the windows and parrots squawking in the bush out the back!
After the boys opened their stocking pressies we all decided to go to the beach, first time any of us has gone to the beach on Christmas Day! Josh had fun on his body board in the small waves, the tide was out so the ocean was quite shallow just by the beach. We all sat there for a while soaking up the sunshine, then Manda went back to the house to check on the Turkey and start cooking the veggies etc. We had a lovely lunch, although the house was boiling hot with having the oven on for 3 hours. Now we know why everyone else here cooks on the bbq, OUTSIDE, so that the house stays cool!!! We'll know for next year!
We all opened our presents after lunch and then a game of Monopoly was played, whilst a DVD was watched. All in all a relaxing day. Oh yeah, Daniel wiped out everybody at Monopoly, he's obviously an entrepeneur already!!
Just want to take this opportunity to say a big 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' to all our family and friends around the world. We love you all and can't wait to see anyone who fancies coming out to New Zealand to visit us.
