MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hello Friends and Family,
The Hilliard family would like to wish you all a happy, blessed and stress free Christmas, and that you keep safe as you go on your holidays and have lots of fun!! We are looking forward to this first Christmas with our beautiful son who is going to make it extra special for us. We plan to have both sets of grandparents and his auntie and uncles and cousin Ayla over Christmas morning so we can all open our presents together, then it is a late brunch for us before we head up to visit my dad's family (40min drive). In the late afternoon we will head back to Auckland to have dinner with Dean's family. So it's going to be a busy but fun Christmas day. Well take care ya'll and take time to remember the reason for the season... Jesus :-)
Love Janna, Dean and Nathan

Eating Dirt

In between the showery weather Nathan and I headed outside to enjoy a spot of sunshine. To avoid hurting his knees on the concrete he came up with a new hands and feet way of crawling and headed to the garden to have some afternoon tea consisting of dirt, flowers and grass. I remember enjoying a bit of dirt myself back in the day, but being the modern day overprotective first time mother and considering we have a cat that poos in the garden I won't be letting him chow down on too much dirt in the future. Check out the video evidence...

Dean the Groover

Here's Dean off to his school friends 30th birthday... 70's was the style... Here's a picture to make you smile...

Rainbow's End

On Sunday we ventured out to Rainbow's End for Dean's works Christmas party for the kiddies. We had a nice bbq and Santa came to visit. There were a few things we could take nathan on, not much but hey, I got to go on a few of the big peoples rides, so it was all good. He enjoyed the balls and the merry go round but wasn't too fazed by the dragon ride. I went on the Free Fall, which is only half the size of the Giant Drop at Dream World but still fareeeaky!! Also the Roller Coaster, which is always fun :-) It was a nice day out.
