We had fun getting ready for Christmas this year. It was all last minute because we didn't want to carry any extra thing around with us untill we got to our house exchange. Nathan had fun going shopping with each of us separatly to buy a few things for the other. He wanted to buy tom some funny things. He wanted to buy him a skateboard and sunglasses! If you end up in the skateboard section then that's what happens. He had fun wrapping presents and getting them under the tree and we thought he was so excited that he was going to be up early.
The morning was really weird! Nathan slept in until and then sat at the table and wanted toast. Ok…. we made toast and wished him a Merry Christmas. By the time he finished half of his toast we couldn’t handle it anymore and prompted him towards the tree. He was so excited and we had fun opening gifts. He was especially excited to give each of us our gifts.
He got some fun games and coloring to keep us all busy for the day and we had a strange smoked turkey breast for dinner. They tend to have more lamb and seafood for Christmas luch down here. We had a visit from a 5 year old up the street and his Dad in the early 'arvo' (afternoon) t invite us up for a drink. So we had a social outing as well. They knew we were coming because our hosts told them on Halloween and set it up. We were going to go up for a visit, but we wouldn't have gone over on 'Chrissy'( yes they really shorten Christmas to Chrissy).
So a nice Christmas here, although wet.
We wish you a merry one,
Love Lana, Tom and Nathan
