Christmas Time

So we have been back in NZ for a week. We got our packages for christmas under the tree! We made Christmas cookies yesterday and decorated them with my mom and Cliff over skype. They were tons of fun to do. We also decorated gingerbread houses. They are in the picture.
We have been watching Christmas Vacation. It is a tradition to watch it :) So funny!
It is also summer time so we have been taking more walks along the beach. We went snorkeling around the back of our house. Next time we are going to look for scallops.
We are also getting some beans from our garden. I made some strawberry jelly, too. Very yummy!
We are excited for Christmas this week. People normally take a few weeks off of work at this time. Last Friday was the last day for a lot of people and they wont go back to work til mid January. Brandon is saving time up for the wedding though. We will keep you all posted on how the end of 2009 goes!
