Christmas Day 2012

And then Christmas was finally here.  Dad arrived in Hawera!!  Hooray!!  It was great to see hime and he bought our car up so we could all drive home together.

Kate and Sam, Bradley and Jack, Nana, Tom and Mum all headed to Christmas Eve Mass and sung with great gusto.  It was lovely.  When we got home, it was dark and Kate and Sam got to walk all around the lights in Nana's street checking it all out.  It really is stunning.  The kids even got a christmas eve drink of fizz and treat to eat.  The excitement!!

The next morning Lachie, Kate and Flynn were up first then we all set about waiting for sleepy Sam to arise.  After much speculation as to what was in the parcels found under the tree we got to open a present or two or three ... around 8am.


 Bubbles and surf shoes!
 A drum! (and loppers for Dad)
 A Paper Jamz guitar!  Thanks Nana and Grandad!! (Surf shoes, Christmas clothes and head torch too - woo hoo!)
An ipod!  And Christmas clothes too.

We had christmas lunch at Tom's.  It was roasting hot and full of excitement.  Thank you Tom and Nana for the yummy food and for taking care of us.

Christmas night we arrived at Urenui Beach.  Luckily we bought the entertainment.
