Christmas - 2013

Hello there!

So long time no blog, hey? Well MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone (for last Wednesday)! I hope you all had the best Christmas of your life, or at least so far. Personally I had an amazing Christmas at home with my family. The weather was beautiful and the day couldn't have gone anymore perfect. Now I sit here wishing to document it for you readers, all 9 of you! I'm not the greatest writer as you can probably tell from previous post's so instead of rambling on here is a load of photos! Including some explanations, aha. Enjoy~

Of course the day started with the usual present opening ceremony - where my dad decides to bring out his 20 year old video (tape) recorder, and films everyone but himself.  It's tradition and just telling you about it makes me smile! It has been done every Christmas (and birthday) of my life. This year I received from 'Santa' a keyboard! I cannot wait to learn how to play the piano; I've wanted to learn for years. This year I was very spoilt and I am super grateful. Along with the keyboard I received some jewellery, Katy Perry CD and One Direction, This Is Us. (If you want reviews, just ask!). Also my gifts to others were greatly received - especially my dad, he loves the shirts I bought him. Yippee!

Just a few snaps to show you what I wore. and my smile for proof I enjoyed the day. 

The whole day, from start to finish was just amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed every second. I won't go into every single detail - but I have lots of special memories from this Christmas. Oh and not to mention we had a traditional turkey dinner like always.

Bye guys - Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone reading this!!

It's the Season

Hello!

It is that wonderful time of the year. Christmas time! I absolutely adore Christmas, the lead up to it, the decorations, just every single detail. As well as the food. It all makes me so happy to be alive. Here in New Zealand (as well as the whole Southern hemisphere!) Christmas is a bit different. Guess what, it's also summer time. Generally Christmas is spent in the sunshine. A stark contrast to other countries in the world - after all Christmas is associated with snow, warm snugly clothes, hot drinks and infamous fireplaces. But no here it has to be 25 degree's out. Oh I'd love a winter Christmas, much more 'traditional', maybe someday, UK are you ready?

 Over anything though I love my summer Christmas's. After all it is what I've come to know my whole life. It makes me feel special and privileged. Which I am extremely thankful for. I'll hopefully do some Christmas posts in the next few weeks because why not! There will also be some exciting summer post's too. I can't wait to share my summer holiday experiences with you.

Zoo Day

So a few weeks back (as in over a month sorry, I've been busy!)  my cute family and I went to the zoo together! It was such a nice day to go. I enjoyed it so much because I haven't been in years. I'm assuming you all know what a zoo is? Exactly, no explanation needed. Although I suppose you could say all zoo's are the same, Wellington zoo seems special and of course awesome! Personally I think it strays away from the conventional zoo, or maybe that's just me talking. I'll share with you some of the lovely highlights of the trip! This post will be much more interesting with photos so it will be very photo heavy. But those kinds of post's are always the best, right?

The giraffes were definitely my favourite - they were so friendly and came up so close to us. I even managed a cheeky selfie with one!

Just a few other highlights; a yummy chocolate milkshake, what I wore - a cute lil' blouse with a peter pan collar and shorts.

I also really enjoyed seeing the lions. They were beautiful! I adore cats so I adored these big cats. Who knows, maybe it's my South African showing through.

Finally I've gotten around to this post! I hope you all enjoyed the photos, I edited em' all nice for you.
