Christmas in St Heliers
| We have spent the last 4 months renovating our new home in St Heliers and it is now looking pretty good. We decided to have Christmas lunch at home, joined by Belinda's mother and her fiance (Barbara & Bob), Belinda's sister (Karen) and Belinda's niece and nephews (Darryl, Olivia & Keith). The Auckland weather was great! The two photos below are of Jamie and Caitlyn relaxing on the window seat in our family room and Belinda relaxing poolside with a cool drink. Although our spa pool is up and running, the swimming pool will not be finished until mid-late January. |

Nana Barbara brought the kids matching outfits for Christmas; as photographed on the steps of our back garden. Below is Barbara, Belinda and Karen on Christmas day (spot the white girl in the middle - some of us don't have time to soak up the sun all day!) |

Gary was in charge of the cranberry & orange chicken which was cooked to perfection on the bbq rotisserie. Bob made seafood cocktails for an entree and a lovely trifle and Christmas cake for dessert. |

Before Barbara and Bob returned to Wellington we enjoyed brunch together at a beach-front restaurant in St Heliers. Below is Gary and Belinda at the restaurant and Barbara and Bob looking out over the beach with the village shops behind. |
