Can we stop eating and drinking yet?

Well that's been a week. Started with Pete and me going to Wellington for Jethro Tull concert - I blew it, thought our flight was 8.30 but it wasn’t until 9.30 (could have been worse). Wellington was great, had time to catch up with a cousin and nice lunch and dinner.

Home Saturday morning for family wedding - Congratulations Sophie and Roger 
What a fantastic day - wishing you both a long and happy life together. 

Pete got to dress up in a monkey suit too.

Our annual Christmas Eve barbie was on the 23rd this year as Nesses disappeared on 24th. Our girls have grown so much, where have the years gone, we started this tradition as they use to be waiting for Santa and seemed like a good excuse. 

Christmas day was glorious, not many photos taken. We had superb weather for the day, quiet family Barbie for breakfast on deck and then off for lunch with Pete’s family. So pleased we do my side early. With family over for the wedding we carried on Christmas celebrations with another get together on Boxing day. They have now disappeared until New Year’s Eve. 

Clara and I took the dogs to Bethell's beach this morning (we are dog sitting Kelsey - Nesses Chocolate lab, as they have gone south).  Pete stayed home to mow the lawns. 

two happy girls

Well we hope you have enjoyed your family and friends over this festive season as much as we have. Enjoy what is left of the year and roll on 2015. Wishing all a very safe and happy new year.
