Happy Christmas!

Hi everybody

Merry Christmas! It is still Christmas at home, but already Boxing Day here (my first one!).

We had a lovely Christmas here in NZ. We spent Christmas Eve at the Preston's, and then spent a very quiet Christmas together in Island Bay. We slept in until 9, had boiled eggs in Rory's new egg cups, Skyped our families, ate Rory's fantastic roast beef lunch with all the trimmings, walked to the beach, listened to Christmas music, drank wine on the deck, and then had a simple dinner while watching Christmas movies.

It was a very different Christmas than I've ever had, but I am so grateful to be able to spend it with Rory, and in such a beautiful place.

Today we are getting ready for our big camping trip that starts tomorrow. Our flight leaves at 7am (!) so we'll have to have everything packed before we go to sleep. Sara and Nik gave us a cooler bag and waterproof blanket for Christmas, so we have all sorts of camping gear now. I'm very excited.

So...love you and miss you! Have a very very Merry Christmas (or as Rory would say, Happy Christmas)!

Love
Amy
