Happy New Year

Since we live in the most coveted spot in NZ for New Years Eve we stayed at our house and people came to us. The Lines family came down and brought the venison (that my dad and Andy shot THAT MORNING!). Sam's brother had his own festivities but was out on a commercial fishing boat for the last two days so he brought us a HUGE fish that my dad fried up a few different ways. And Sam's mom and little brother came over while their Dad played in a band at a bar down the road.

The moms having a bit of bubbly...if you know my mom at all you know she had the non alcoholic version :)

Sally and Georgia

James showing Sam some cool photos he took earlier that day

The men manning the BBQ

Dad getting it all set up

Out on our deck enjoying the warm weather...so hard to get my mind around the fact that it is nice on New Years Eve

Sam's mom made a yummy dessert with some of the walnuts my parents brought her from CA

This is what happens when lots of holding grandmas are around and we try to lay him down :)

We opted for the swing to calm him down

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
