Christmas is here and we have our summer hols. Carol and Malcolm are with us which is great. They have already settled into life in Taumarunui, playing bowls and becoming regulars at Ruddies place (cafe in town).Merryn is growing up quickly and getting more adventurous and talkative. She loves playing with Freya and being on her bike. Merryn is also a little climber, up and down everything.
Freya has finished her first year at school and was a tapping tui in the kiwi 12 days of Christmas, at the end of year prize giving.Freya has been horse riding and her swimming is coming on leaps and bounds. Marian has made the girls an awesome advent calandar which they absolutly love. Freya is very excited each morning waiting to see what is in the little bags. We have our Christmas tree up I think this is the last year we get a real tree.( 25 degrees is not ideal for trees) if this one makes it to boxing day it will be a miricle. Sarah has been charging around the country side mountain biking road biking, kayaking and running. She also recently did a triathalon in Tauranga and came 6th. I have been taking it easy and enjoying a few games of golf and some cold beers. We also entered a team in the local mixed 5 a side soccer and ended up in the finals thanks to Sarah's penalty in the sudden death shoot out. unfortunatly we lost in the final but it was still good fun.
We hope everyone is well and would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. G S F & M xxx
