2 weeks ago the Christmas festivities began, when I spent the weekend with the Parkers down in Beachlands, the boys had a great time with their new kites!
Here I am hanging out with Liam (5) and Nathan (3) just after we finished reading our pirate stories!
Jump ahead to Christmas Day!!!
I Spent some time on the beach playing Rugby, football and floating in the Pacific Ocean out at Long Bay.
Then headed down to Devonport where I helped to prepare Christmas dinner with some friends. Didn't get to enjoy the goods though, as I had to head to work for a nightshift, but was looked after as we had a potluck with all the emergency department staff!
Glad I was able to have a webcam Christmas with everyone at home! :)
Here is a photo of our Christmas tree at my flat, followed by a New Zealand Pohutakawa tree, which is also known as the kiwi Christmas tree because it is in bloom during December.
Off to Great Barrier Island for a week of camping and ringing in the New Year!
Merry Christmas!!
