Christmas in Hamilton

We stayed with Connie and Graham on Christmas Eve. Thankfully Connie had stocked the cupboard well and we left Santa some chocolate, the reindeers a carrot and the kiwis some water!



Our plan worked! Santa left us a lovely note....



and neat presents in our stockings.



I got Bill which was cool but, surprisingly, I was even more excited with the "rub-a-dub colour your tub". More than anything it is such a fun thing to say!




Lucy loved Daddy reading Bambi to her.



I also had great fun being Santa's helper...



Christmas Day was really hot but thankfully Connie and Graham had filled their pool and we had fun cooling off in that. Oh and the ice-blocks helped too - thanks Connie!


the "cutsie" hairstyles have started...

Lucy's favourite sleeping spot is

right at the bottom of the bed!

Marshwood Christmas Party

Jack had his preschool Christmas party last Saturday. He didn't want his face painted (no real surprise there) but was happy to have a chat with Santa.




Lucy was very happy to become a beautiful butterfly.





And after 2 previous encounters with Santa where she screamed and didn't want a bar of it, she appears to have twigged that sitting on Santa's knee = present and she happily sat on Santa's knee to collect hers!

Sun Shade

The parachute makes a great sun shade for the trampoline!
