We had some time off of work over christmas and new years before our crazy summer holidays with the kids (which was 24 days of work in a row!). We held Christmas at our house, with friends and family coming to join in the celebrations! It was my first warm Christmas - which meant a lovely Christmas dinner in the front yard!

We also went for a journey to a west coast beach - which is very different than east coast beaches. The sand is black and there are cliff faces greeting you from every direction, the waves are big and the sea is seems to be angry. It was a very different beach day from the peaceful and calm east coast, with its white sandy beaches and beautiful coves.....
For a bit of an escape during our time off we decided to head down to Taranaki - where Dan grew up. Unfortunately, we chose to go when the rain decided to come, so I don't have many pictures. It was a great time though - and we even got to see the mountain for about 30 seconds when she peeked out from behind the clouds!
