East Coast Styles

Christmas Eve we headed down to Te Kaha for Christmas with the family and two weeks of relaxing, fishing, diving, swimming etc. We had a great time.

Pre Christmas and Phil

Hey Ya'll Happy New Year, finally getting into gear and uploading the pics from our festive season. Before we took off on Christmas Eve we got together with Deans family, opened some presents and had a big bbq. We got to meet Phil and Edwina, Dean's bro from Sydney and his lovely lady. It was a great experience!
