Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! The kids have been looking forward to this day for a while now and it's hard to believe it's upon us. Today they made pictures for Santa, Mrs. Clause and even an elf. They also picked some carrots from their garden for the reindeer. As you can see from the 2nd and 3rd pictures, Santa enjoyed the beer they left for him and spoiled us all with presents this year! We hope you all have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Much love,

The New Zealand Bacarella's

Talor's Kindy Trip - The Christmas Party

The first stop on today's adventure out of kindergarten was to a performing arts center near the zoo. These two women performed a skit that involved a superhero as well as a fairy. They had the kids, and adults mesmerized. It was a very cool way to start the day.

After the concert we met the kids at Snow Planet - an indoor skiing and snowboarding place. We were able to sled down the snow for a while, and everyone had a great time.

The kids loved running around in the snow and throwing it around.

Layla's 1st snow angel.

Santa even showed up to give out gifts to all the boys and girls.

Santa Called!!!!!!

The other day the call came in - Santa called both kids individually to confirm what they wanted for Christmas as well as to check and see if they were being good. Both Talor and Layla were thrilled!!

How to Hula Hoop

Layla thought she would teach us all how to hula hoop. Information for life. Enjoy!

Strawberry Shortcake

Shell picked up some strawberries for the Christmas at the Zoo event last night, however we didn't eat them. So, they spent the night coated in sugar and in the fridge. This afternoon we made another trip to the American store (Martha's Backyard) to pick up some Bisquick. Yes, the label on the box is correct, but it was worth it. The strawberry shortcake with Bisquick shortcakes were amazing and I am so glad we picked it up! Roll on summer!!

Stocked for Christmas

Two shelves are lagers and one shelf is an East India Pale Ale - a new batch of spirits will be brewed shortly in hopes of having it ready before Christmas/New Year. Such a fun hobby!
