Christmas at Uncle Hilmar and Aunty Di's house
We were woken up early by a very excited Phillipa! She came into the lounge with Rachel and shone torches into our faces to wake us up!
This was the last we saw of Hilmar for a while, for some strange reason he always seems to miss Santa...
Phillipa was the Christmas elf

Pete cooked the whole dinner, thanks Pete, it was delicious!!!
That afternoon (yes it was dark already) we went to the temple to see the lights and the nativity.
This was a particularly special thing to see, the night before Pete and I got married we went to the temple together. It was misty and the lights were shining on the spires and making these shadows in the mist. We were treated to the same spectacle here. Pete fondly remembered making shelters in the temple grounds as a boy, although he did think the pond was bigger.

Spinnaker Tower
The first part of our holiday this December was sending Zeek and Rachel off to visit Aunty Di. They boarded a train with Vincent and they were off. Since Corbin and I were that side of the water we decided to do something together. We went to the Spinnaker Tower.
One lady there asked me why I wasn't scared to walk on the glass floor, my response: "This is the land of health and safety, if they put a glass floor here, I can have full confidence that it is totally safe." Oh, was her reply, then she went and stood on the floor herself.

Early Christmas with the Elders
As we will be at Dianne's house for Christmas we decided to have the Elders over for an early Christmas. We had a lovely time eating good food and enjoying entertaining conversations. We gave the Elders a tin of Milo each.
They kindly agreed to take a family photo for us, this was leading up to it...
And one of the kids.
