Christmas Visitors

We were lucky and had great visitors this month. Ian is a friend of a friend who needed a place to stay, but after a couple of days he quickly became family. Dave's brother Bob also came to visit, and here's a picture of him and Nikolas enjoying some Christmas oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yumm!!!!



The kids were delighted to find out that even though you don't hear too much of Santa Clause down here, he still showed up! He dropped off some scooters and even wrote them each a note. Nikolas said that, not to hurt my feelings or anything, but he usually likes the gifts that Santa gives them better than the ones I give him. Well, I have to admit, the scooters were a great hit (video attached).




And another visitor: Here is a picture of the pohutukawa (the New Zealand Christmas tree), so named because the tree comes into bloom right around Christmas time. What a treat!
