Inaugural YouDo Christmas BBQ!
Saturday afternoon was the inaugural YouDo Christmas BBQ at the home of Chez Lee. After ten year’s in New Zealand it’s so exciting to be independently involved in your own business – well, Dan’s business, but I can now say I’ve done a bit on the social secretary front! I spent the morning getting the…
End of Term
Charlotte finished Kindi on Friday with a delightful party. Families were invited and Dan absolutely loved the opportunity to watch Charlotte at Kindi. The teachers put together a wonderful morning of events; including songs, stories and a visit from ‘Zappo the Magician’! Each child presented their parents with a beautiful bag of Christmas delights; including…
A magic weekend of Birthday party fun, Christmas carols and fun on the Kapiti Coast!
What a magic weekend! Our good friend’s, Marrisa and Michael, organised the best Birthday Party for their daughter Bethany. It was at our favourite place, Te Papa, with a wonderful ‘under the sea’ theme. Afterwards there was a lovely Birthday lunch, balloons and cake. The Christmas trees in Te Papa’s foyer were gorgeous – three…
Summer in the City: Wellington’s full of surprises!
From November, Wellington revs up for a multitude of events: from small-scale festivals in the various suburbs to grander events in the city centre and surrounds; with the likes of the Meridian Energy Summer City and the New Zealand International Arts Festival. These continue well into March and there’s never enough time to attend all…
More Christmas Fun!
It’s not even December and everywhere I turn there’s a flyer for another Christmas Festival or event in one of Wellington’s many suburbs [wotzon.com]. With the good weather shining its blessing on Wellington we ventured into the city on Saturday to be greeted by music, jugglers, face-painting, merry-go-round and bouncy castle. It’s wonderful to share…
Christmas Parade: Already!
Why does Wellington always hold it’s Christmas Parade in November?! I have no answer to this question, but it’s resulted in the build-up starting early and the girls have been insisting on getting out a few decorations – already. We haven’t gone crazy (yet!), but we’re only weeks away. I probably fuel their excitement as…
A First Christmas for Sophie Jade
It was a very beautiful Christmas in our new home, made all the more special by having our gorgeous girls to share it with.
Countdown to Christmas
The Advent Calendar has been given lots of interest this Christmas, I would like to say this is due to Charlotte’s love of numbers but suspect it has more to do with the chocolates!
Happy ‘Kissmass’!
I have been so excited and loved all the decorations, Christmas music and hearing about baby Jesus and Father Christmas. Just waiting for our baby now…
It’s My Second Christmas!!
I woke up to find a stocking outside my room and lots and lots of presents under the tree..
Is that jingle bells I can hear?
I’ve been decorating the Christmas tree and dancing with a snow man!
Nearly New Year!
This week was very special as we celebrated Christmas Day.
My First Christmas
I loved wrinkling the paper, trying to eat it (when Mummy wasn’t looking) and chew on the labels. I got so many lovely presents (the things wrapped in the fun paper).
