Kaylene & Aidan - what does this look tell you, any ideas?





Monti's 1st Christmas




Then, after a fantastic Christmas Dinner,
some outdoor activities







Some fun times in the days that followed.....
playgrounds swimming pools, cafe's etc etc!!!











...even a slide for Nana!!












......"time with Grandad"


Then over the hill to Arrowtown for five days
......we rented a superb house with a
great outdoor area.







A cuddle for Grandad....


A visit to local winery's was a must.....
Below enjoying lunch & winetasting at
Gibbston Winery


And empty glasses!!


......this one is Peregrine Winery,
an interesting structure

Pondering....

Then over to Queenstown for a look around...






Back home now....

Harry was to have a birthday soon
after he returned to Wellington,
we had a "mini" birthday party for
him before he went home.








Aidan created this masterpiece!



Then.....down to the Caroline Bay Carnival -
we all had a lovely day - even the big kids.
Ella enjoyed being on the rides,
even had a ride on a wee pony!



The highlight for Nana - taking Ella on the Merry-Go-Round








Kaylene won this fluffy bear, Ella loved it.


Then it was off to beach for some serious digging!!








Ella - from a 'city girl' to a 'country chick" in no time at all
