Christmas in the Kuwilsky-Young Household

I had bought bars of organic, fair trade dark and milk chocolate for everyone from a colleague of mine, Nic John, who is starting up his own business: Divine chocolate. I designed the wrapper, which Nic suggested could work well if cropped to a heart-shape. So I spent Christmas eve cutting and cropping our Christmas present wrapping.

Barb stayed with us over Christmas, and we had a pretty relaxing time. I started Christmas day with a walk up Christian's hill. The view was pretty good!

Barb, Mike, my folks, Tessa, Matty & baby Izzy arrived for Christmas present opening at Rose Road, with a waffle brunch. Donna was unfortunately working, so only joined us later on, at her family's new business at St Arnaud.

And of course we sang commercials. Because we can. Including the Kentucky Fried Chicken ad.

That was followed by lunner (has to be lunner as it was too late for lunch, but too early for dinner) up at Lake Rotoiti with Donna's family.

Barb brought up her game, Cards Against Humanity. We had a hilarious time playing it: pants-wettingly funny. Charlie had possibly over-indulged in some of the local hop products, with the result that his attempts at reading out the cards had us in stitches. He should have perhaps borrowed my glasses, but all-in-all it was more fun without!

Jan & I took Katie & Lily to the lake for a swim - though it was QUITE cold in the lake. The sandflies were - as usual - vicious; however, we also got introduced to the concept of a roll-on deet stick which was pretty cool. 

Below is a video of some of the happenings:
