A slightly belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. We know we're slack with the lack of Chrissy cards etc... life is certainly a whole lot busier this year for some reason?!!!
We had Xmas in Te Puke with Poppa John, then a week with Anna's family in Whangamata. The weather was crazily good... the normally pants Xmas/NY weather was superb. Lots of sunny, warm days to enjoy the beach, the fishing, the golfing and the eating and boozing.
The other exciting news is we bought ourselves a new house for Xmas. One of those things that happens fast when you least expect it. So we're in full on marketing mode for our place now so we can figure out how to pay for the new place!
Hope you are all well and had a most excellent Xmas and New Year.
Big love from the Dowlings
A few photo's follow...............
The Santa hat that Gran sent Olivia
Checking out Santa's grotto with Milena
Xmas morning with the coussies (except Kai who was in Scotland)
Olivia and Aimee with their Xmas dresses (they weren't in them long!)
In the dress that Great Aunty Joan gave Olivia
Opening presents with the help of cousin Connor
Then eating the paper!
More paper eating and more cousin assistance with present opening
Checking out the paddling pool for temperature
Hanging out with Gran and Grandad at Whangamata
These paddling pools are fun to sit in... but more fun to empty!
