Christmas Party -- Down Under Style

For social studies this week the boys learned about how Christmas is celebrated in Australia -- sun, surf and Christmas pudding. So we cranked up the heat, put on our beach-wear, decorated the living room, learned how to say "Merry Christmas" Aussie-style ("Merry Christmas, Mate!") and had a Christmas picnic on the "beach!" We listened to Beach Boys, and Wade gave the kids surfing instructions -- it was a stellar time!

Our little surfer dudes.





Levi took his surfing very seriously!



Picnic time!



More serious surfing from Levi.
