For Christmas this year, Rob's parents gifted us with their presence and a family trip to New Zealand! D&L arrived in Auckland on December 11th. They spent the weekend with us in Auckland (and Waiheke) before picking up a rental car, learning to drive on the left side of the road, and spending a week driving down Wellington via Waikoto, Hobbiton, Rotorua and Taupo.

| A blustery day in Devonport - we found a brewpub playing the Redwings game! Bottom row is the Pohutukawa Tree, also known as the Kiwi Christmas Tree for its colours and tendency to bloom in December. |
