Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Here are some photos of our festive fun...
Our first real kiwi Christmas tree was decorated with wonder and glee.
We had a lovely pre Christmas catchup with our new second cousin Annika Loza.
Uncle Tom arrived from the UK and understandably exhausted after months on tour with Depeche Mode received Orla's special and surprisingly relaxing spa treatment - painting bare skin with water.
Grumpa flew in for a lunch party...
And we had a BBQ with the beautiful Yates family.
The last few days on 'The Block' were very busy getting ready for Christmas Day. Here's Poss preparing the Korokia for planting round the new deck.
And here's Larry Lemon about to go into the Citrus Garden.
Some informal family portraits!
The Marrs arrived on Christmas Eve, just in time to prepare Santa Christmas's feast.
Poss and Teddy were very pleased to be reunited.
The boys at our fab new outdoor table...
... and Jecky preparing our Xmas Eve feast.
And finally Christmas Day!
The girls' new playhouse. Poss: "It's dirty, I want to get out".
Marr/Hill pressie opening.
Then everybody arrived for lunch, swimming and more pressies!
Special cuddles with Ganny.
Great Aunt Flissy.
All our cuzzies, Maisie, Oscar, Issy and Teddy (not pictured).
Aunt Sarah and Maisie.
Poppa.
Oscar.
Post lunch chill.
Not for long though!
After Christmas we had another few days with Ganny.
And a lovely lunch out at Waiheke with our British cuzzies.
On the Marrs' last day we took them to the Wynyard Quarter on the Viaduct.
Our little Christmas angels...
In early Jan, we had a lovely visit from our British cuzzies Eloise and Millie.
3 weeks to go now till baby arrives - at this stage by caesarean. That may be our very next post!
Lots of love, Hills x 4 nearly 5 xoxo
