Kiwi Christmas (without the Kiwis)

I was fortunate enough to spend Christmas this year with friends from all around the world, fellow orphans without family in New Zealand. We went over to the Howarth's house for a delicious and huge home-cooked meal featuring turkey, ham, sausages, and much much more. We also had a great rum cake that Paula's family mailed all the way from Ireland. I even got to dress up as Santa Clause to surprise (and scare to death) baby Chloe. We enjoyed the day eating, relaxing, playing games (James caused the men to lose Trivial Pursuit which I was not happy about), and playing and singing RockBand. It was a great way to spend Christmas in the hot sun!

Good girl!


Good boy or bad?

  1. What a great looking feast! And I see you are carrying on the Smith tradition of assuming the role of the jolly old elf!
