The past few days have been relatively laid back compared to our week at Christchurch. Here's a picture of the boys after we walked to Washbourn Gardens to feed the ducks on Christmas Eve.
Here's the boys feeding the ducks. Cameron even got a couple of them to eat right out of his hands. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Noah "petting" one of the ducks. It had it's back turned toward him and as soon as his hand touched the duck's back, the duck flapped its wings and Noah jumped about 3 feet in the air.
After a relaxing afternoon of swimming, we were off to bed and ready for Christmas Day. The boys were up at 5:30 in the morning, which explains the look thatis a combination of tired and excited that Noah has on his face when he opened his stocking to find Buzz Lightyear.
The boys opening their Christmas presents (notice the lack of snow out the window).
Isn't this what everyone back at home did after opening presents? The boys headed outside to play with their toys and play in the water.
Noah was all ready for Christmas lunch.
Here's Cameron with the Pavlova that he helped prepare.
The day after Christmas is Boxing Day in the Commonwealth Nations. And, what better way to celebrate than by shopping. So, Tania Slinn took Megan and me out on the town for a day of shopping. It's much more laid back than Black Friday and the deals aren't as good, but it was fun to get out and look around all the stores. The purchase that Megan was most proud of was the Converse All-Star like gumboots that she found for Noah.
