we didn’t get up too early on Christmas day as we didn’t get back until after 1am. the day started with presents then Debbie and Courtney arrived for posh christmas breakfast
when they had left we opened family presents. after some napping jane and esther went for a wet weather stomp with pearl and saw people having their christmas days in their house garages (kiwi Christmases are usually out doors activities and it’s very wet).
one comedy moment came when we gave pearl her christmas duck. she loved it and ran around the house, then started crying a little to be let outside. intrigued, we let her out and watched as she walked meaningfully round to a spot in the garden and promptly buried it in the muddy ground. it hasn’t yet reappeared so she’s obviously saving it for later.
This evening we’re out for an Xmas buffet
and here’s the buffet
