Xmas 2007 at home!

Dad turned 60 this year, i flew up as a surprise trip on his birthday. And yes they were surprised. A couple of days before he had had an open day for all the family, it went off great! But i missed it, stuffed up the dates for the flights, ha ha ha never mind, i had a wonderful 3 days with Mum and Dad all to myself. Life is very good to me! We celebrated both Dad's 60th and Mike's 30th on boxing day, smiles all round. Back home in Dunedin Mike and I met a few friends at the Kensington Tui Clubrooms for drinks and a meal to celebrate his birthday. It was a good night.

Its been 3 years since i have been at home with my family for xmas, and i was so excited about!!! Bevvie was lovely enough (as usual) to take us to the airport and then whoossshhhh!!! We were flying. I wore my Durndl home for xmas. I go stopped at the airport by a lady who wanted to have a look at it. She thought it was lovely. It made me giggle. hee hee.

Well when we landed nobody was there to meet us, so we waited... Mike turns and says to me, "ha ha ha look at this car coming!". Oh my god... "yep thats them i said"

Dad had a black long haired shaggy wig on, Tania was dressed as the queen, Sarah as a rasta and young Courtney as a punk rocker. They looked so funny, and they got a few weird looks as well, funny as i reckon. We had alot of the extended family there, aunts, uncles etc... Had some drinkies and too much food, it was great. For me it was very relaxing just being there, lazing around. Boxing day arrived and so did the next round of people. Blair, Kim, Darryl, Janelle and her friend, Nic and the kiddies, Taz and of course not to forget Pete. Tracey made it the next day. So we had even more drinks, got pretty messy, well kimmy did, ha ha ha ha... jumped in the spa, life is just so cruisy sometimes. No one got much of a sleep in the next day thanks to the chicken i got for xmas... Tania and I made pretzels for everyone then after breakie it was a beautiful day so what else were the girls suppose to do... yep i went and got Muriel out. Kimmy and Janelle fell in love with her, who wouldnt!!

We had the best day in her, i took the cuzzies for a ride in her, and kimmy drove home again. Then when everyone had gone home later that day, Mike, Collette, Tracey and I drove her into town, it was a beautiful day, we had ice cream and a great day. It was the best!!!Mike and I spent the next few days at Morrinsville, we did a day trip up to Cook's Beach and saw Sammy and Donna with their 2 little girls and it was a great surprise to see George there as well. We also had a great day at golf, it was very relaxing before we flew home.

Back at work now and looking forward to Bon Jovi concert, Yee Haa!!!! Bring it on!!!
