Putting up the christmas tree was a lot of fun this year. We are very lucky because Nana and Grandad are getting a real christmas tree for us to decorate when we arrive in Hawera too! Hooray!
Kate had her first Ballet concert on Saturday. She and her classmates were Baby Bunnies in the tale of Peter Rabbit. It was an amazing exerience for her! The boys were enthralled watching the show, which involved the whole dance school, jazz and ballet girls from 3 to 18. Lachie was quite upset when Mr McGregor sprang after Peter Rabbit into the wings and he called out "Uh oh, Hop Hop, Uh Oh!!"
Sammy had the time of his life riding on this train with the kids from Playcentre.
This is Mr Hall. He built the train, carriages and track all by himself and in his retirement, occasionally allows groups of people to visit. He has taught his Grandson how to drive and help out.
Sammy started off sitting toward the back of the carriage but by the third time around the circuit, he had managed to get right up behind the driver. Mr Hall noticed his enthusiasm and gave Sam the opportunity to sit right besdide the driver! Sammy put coal in the coal box and blew the whistle too. Wow!
