1st Day of Christmas

I'd love one of these frangapani Plants for my deck to remind me of sunny dayz in Rarotonga.

And thats it for my dream are free 12 dayz of Christmas I wonder if Ive beeng ood enough to be rewarded with one of these gifts ???

2nd Day of Christmas

I spend a whole lot of time boiling the kettle so im in need of a styley new one for the bench !!

Christmas Crafts

This morning was spent making the Nanna's and Poppa Christmas cards. Lots of mess but lots of fun.

3rd Day of Christmas

This Necklace is stunning. I'd love my boys names and birth dates on one of these.

So Sweet.

Creche Xmas Party

Lovely summers evening in the Bay having fish and chip and then a vist from special guest Santa, Spider man and his friend Karate Man and the Chicken Guy.

We got a call from Santa today !!!!

This is a wonderful idea, you email your details and Santa calls your child back within 60sec and what your child asks for is recorded and then emailed to you.

So Cool, Max was so excited that he called us.

4th Day of Christmas

I think after I have spent time tinkering in the kitchen with all my wonderful new gadgets I may need a lie down with a Glass of something and my Twilight book.  This would be the perfect relaxing chair to do so. I not sure were I'll get the tree to hang it from as were a bit short on the sturdy trees in our garden.

7th,6th and 5th Dayz of Christmas

I always thought "poor mum" each year when I was little and she received gifts for the kitchen but no I to spend a lot of time tinkering in there myself I see it's realy nice to receive things that

make the experence of being in the kitchen just a little more fun.

Road Trip

Reuben had a two day job up at Mangawhai Heads so we decided to go with him and have a quick break away from the Xmas maddness in Auckland.

Here are the boys splashing about in the Eastury

We also caught up with with some friends who now live up there and we went to the Smashed Pipi for dinner.

10th Day

This is just too cute its a bird house and I think my neighbourhood sparrows would be fighting over who moved into this one.

11th Day of Christmas

This is the ultimate coffee table book for fans of fishing and the TV series Hunger for the wild. The pics are fantastic as well as the recieps. It would look great on my coffee table :-)

My twelve dayz of Christmas

I have wish list as most do of what Santa might bring me for Christmas. If all my dreams were to come true. Im going to post my wishes each day from now until until the big day and hope with all my might that one  may come true

Here is the first day of christmas wish....... now im properly way behind the times with this as a wish as its been out for so long but i'd love to spend lazy summer dayz on the beach ( yeah right, i'll be covered in sand and marmite and making sand castles) reading this.

What a evening the weather was perfect and hot so we headed to Orewa beach for dinner and a play on the beach. It was nice to get away from the christmas madness for a few hours and enjoy summer.
