HAPPY NEW YEAR... yes I know it's a bit late. January so far has proved to be a good one, so I am really looking forward to the year ahead :)

Chose some nice bright colors for summer.

The other day, Jude came out his room like this - so funny.

Merry Christmas!!! We had  wonderful sun-filled Christmas day. Lots of love and lots of prezziiies :)

Good morning Christmas.

Look who came?

Lunch at Sandi's

Beautiful sunny day.

Well, on Sun we went to the Grotto - which is where a church turns into this little magical Christmas place that you walk through and they have different scenes, really enjoyed that. Then yesterday we first had breakfast at the most awesome Drexels (breakfast all day), then after that we went to central town, which I haven't been to since the Feb quake :(, They've created temporary container shopping malls, which I think looks really awesome. And right there is the shop Ballantynes, which has a window display every Christmas, and this year was themed Fairy tales, which we loved - every thing moved etc... then after that we went to the Botanical gardens, which turned out lovely.

Winter wonderland @ the Grotto.

This creepy man moved.

Pretty forest theme.

Construction in town.

More construction and some damaged buildings.

Still pretty.

Was very sad to see :(

Rose Garden.

This rose was my fav cuz it was called sunset :)

On Monday it was a holiday and we decided to take a drive to Akaroa - a beautiful little town that's an hour outside of Christchurch. It was a very HOT day and I had woken up with a migraine, that just didn't seem to go away the whole day even after taking tabs :( But we still had fun. 

Cute baby goat.

Jude's first pony ride - look how stoked he is.

Ice-cream as always.

Beautiful little cafe, where a much needed coffee was.

Coffee to help my migraine.

My beautiful boys.

Some curios from the shops.

Jude playing at the park.

Beautiful Akaroa.

Loved the wrapper of this chocolate that I bought for Calley.

A very rare food source in NZ - when u see it you buy it, and it did not disappoint!

Jude passed out on the way home, how cute is the way he's sleeping :)

Today we had a nice family day out and ended up visiting Orana Park, which turned out to be super fun and the weather was just perfect! Oh I also had my hair trimmed and I got side swept bangs for something different but you can't really tell although me still likes.

Funny face Jude.

On our way to feed the giraffes - check out that booty haha! 

Ready and waiting.
