Got some errands and deliveries done in the morning, then dragged the boys with us to town for a spot of Christmas shopping. It's painful hunting for shoes with two young males in tow (even though the shoes themselves were very comfortable) so we were more than happy to finish shopping in the afternoon when the boys were safely installed in a friend's house for an afternoon of fun (being an excessively hot day they thought a water fight was appropriate). Made sure all the presents were wrapped before going back to collect the boys, and we have deviously coded the pressies instead of tagging them properly so the boys don't know who gets what - makes the guesswork so much harder! Hee hee...we're mean parents.
Attended a gold-coin donation Concert at the Bay after tea but left after the first two sets, having no appetite for boogie woogie carols, Elmo's Christmas and songs chronicling Santa's escapades. Was a great set-up though and a very family-oriented event. The day's gale force winds had mostly died down by the evening to a strong breeze and it was good to be outdoors for a short while.
