Bungie Jump!

La and Aaron bungie jumped off the Auckland bridge while we (me, jase, aunty peaches, and ross) watched! We should have gone

Lindy wanted to get wet, but DIDN'T while...

Aaron got DUNKED from head to toe

Then went to eat lunch at the mall...more shopping for everyone, but for me

a nice massage!

Way better than shopping and worth every penny!

Me Driving in NZ...AHHHHH!!!!

Yup, you heard it. My Christmas gift this year was DRIVING in NZ on the OTHER SIDE of the car and the road back home to Hamilton from Raglan. Jason was passenger and cousin Aaron's in the back. Quite a different experience, but having been there for about 2 weeks made it much easier. I'm happy to say that no one was hurt, I didn't break any laws, and we had no accidents! I just accidentally turned on the windshield wipers rather than indicating, but that's minor.

Smith Christmas in NZ

Jason and I celebrated our first family Christmas with 'ohana up in Auckland. Everyone was over and the Adults were the first to open presents at 12am. But, before that, we had little Christmas doctrine quiz.

da Boiz and G'ma Calles!

THEN...the kids attacked all of the presents later that morning...go kingston!

Time with cousin Yohan, Elder Smith, and his companion

Christmas Eve

We definitely celebrated Christmas Eve, Smith style...however, we divided into 2 groups:

Boyz and Girlz

da Boyz celebrated cousin Aaron's birthday with some sling shot thing and One Tree Hill

da Girlz shared the Christmas spirit at the Westfield mall, divided into 4 groups with $60 to spend on others. I was with Mahina, G'ma and Aneyah and we helped last minute shoppers at the $2 shop.

We met up for lunch at Happy Days
