Keeping with tradition we did another family photoshoot this year.
This time we wanted to try something a bit more ambitious with a boxed setup where the individual boxes tell a bit more of a story.
I couldn't find an existing box that was big enough to fit me as well as the boys together, so I had to build one myself. I decided on the dimensions 90x90cm (as this was one of the dimensions that I could buy and also transport). I then had to cut it, paint it and nail it together. I had to do all this inside the house as the box is too big to fit through a door.

For Christmas the boys got new bikes from us and my dad (bedstefar).
The old were getting too small, so needed something bigger....

One day we went playing bowling...I had a dream round where I played my best game ever (including a turkey - three strikes in a row).

This year both the boys played soccer for the first time.
They made some good friends while playing and did pretty good considering it was the first time.
Lucas' team won the competition in his age group. Aiden made a great effort considering he is a head shorter than all the other boys in his age group.

Kims dad celebrated his 90th(we think) Birthday this year.
He is mostly bedridden these days, but we managed to get him downstairs to celebrate on this day.

One evening we were invited on a double date with one of Kims friends.
The theme was painting and we were to make an abstract painting of eachother.
Next day the boys tried to draw their versions.

Strange year indeed, and other than a few things, it is remarkably the same.
The kids have still done a lot of activities and here are some of them.
Aiden hanging out with his friend Jake at the beach.
Mini golf with Sammi.
Doing puzzles at home.
Aiden had patience to do one of the simpler ones.
Me trying to teach them how to use photoshop...not a bad result for a first try.
Painting the old way.
One of Aidens favourite drawings. It got soaked by accident and he was absolutely devastated. I managed to rescue it somewhat and take this photo.
He went through a phase where he was obsessed with the Titanic.
He was also into Harry Potter and made a drawing of the sorting hat.
I took Aiden out for a run and he did 4.5km without a break...very proud.
Ice skating with friends
Backyard tennis
Ice cream
Karate - Lucas got to wear a black belt after doing a 3 minute plank.
Their Kumite (sparring) gear.
Aiden reading a bit. Reading is really difficult for him. He can read all the words and sentences perfectly, but it is hard for him to comprehend the stories he reads (almost like he is unable to visualise and imagine the story as he reads it.).

During the lockdown we spent a lot of time in our backyard having a firepit on the weekends.
One weekend I put up my old tent and I camped in the backyard with the boys...they had a blast.

It is Friday, so time for a little photoshop fun.
Lucas gets really scared whenever Aiden roars like a dinosaur/dragon. When we went to the forest last weekend he again got scared and I snapped this photo and decided to insert a dragon into it.

This weekend when we went to Luna Park I took this panorama I took this panorama from the top of the ferris wheel.
It is a series of 5 photos stitched together. The large one if amazing. You can clearly see individuals at Sydney Opera house and you can tell the colour of their clothes.
It was just taken handheld with my D800 and 50mm lens.

Here are a lot of individual photos of the kids that I haven't had a chance to post because they didn't really justify a post or not of the best quality.
First one is one of Lucas with face paint from daycare.
And he throws the biggest tantrums once in a while. Here is one on the street.
Here Aiden and Lucas are being silly and trying to balance on one leg.
And here is Aiden think he is stuck under the sofa (he is not).
Here he is very proud of his colouring in from daycare.
They both have the same bathrobes.
As a reward we took Aiden to the movies to watch 'How to train your dragon 2'.
We are still trying to teach Aiden how to ride a bicycle.
A scary hand.
They love their chocolate and ice cream.
Chilling out.
Selfies.
Breakfast.
A beautiful sunset.

This is without a doubt my favourite photo of the day (and it was also one of the first I took).
There is something very serene and dream like about this photo that I really like, and the dreamy look or the model fits well.
