Christmas Day

Merry Christmas! Such a treat to enjoy it with my family in New Zealand. We have been very busy this past week exploring parts of the North Island. My family spent the second (and third...and fourth) day nursing alot of sunburned skin. But they are mostly all back to normal now and applying sunscreen on a regular basis.

So far things have been going smoothly. We have only hada few hiccups (i.e. getting stuck in a hotel elevator going from the basement to the sub-basement and back for about 5 minutes).

We are now busy prepping for Christmasdinner and tonight we head to the South Island. Just a few photos to give you an idea of what we have been up to.

I anxiously await the arrival of the family.

Hurray! Tim looks less excited...
