Christmas Day water fight.

It is a Cammock tradition to have a water fight on Christmas Day.









This is what our boy was doing during the fight.

Christmas Breakfast.

It has been a lovely Christmas day.
I will start with the food because it was divine.
liz knows how to make a spread.

Bagels, amazing berries, waffles, ice cream, lollies, chocolates,
cherries, bacon, fried tomatoes, cream cheese, fruit salad, fudge,
and more!

Our little All Black with his Buzzy Bee (seriously NZ stuff here!)

Pictures to come: Prezzies and Water fight!

Hamburgers and Gingerbeer Floats.

Christmas Eve in New Zealand is nearly over. It was a lovely, hot, sunny day. Lots of running around to pick up bits and bobs for tomorrow. Mike finished up work at the camera store and accomplished what he set out to do--get a nearly free new camera. I think we had to pay a couple hundred for our new beast of a camera. It is going to take a bit to get used to but here are a few pictures from this afterevening.

Our boy was present at his first Christmas Eve Hamburger and Rootbeer Float Larson tradition except we had Gingerbeer floats--couldn't secure any Rootbeer this year. Kiwi twist. He was enjoying his dinner of sweet potato while we dined on some good ole Kiwi burgers--pineapple, beet root, egg, lettuce, avocado, grilled mushrooms and onions, and tomato. Yum.

Happy Christmas to all and here's to many more pictures to come!

5 months (a little late).

So I have been a little late in posting a 5 month picture of our boy. I haven't weighed him but I am sure he has gained weight in the past 2 weeks. He is busting out of some of the clothes I brought for him. He was getting a bit bored with the rice cereal so we gave him some sweet potato tonight and he seemed to enjoy the new taste and texture. I think his eyes keep getting lighter. Our own little Paul Newman.

Bath with Grandma and Grandad.

Alice's Gingerbread Masterpiece.

See, how she already has the baby hip balance multi-tasking down.

Alice made her first Gingerbread house this week. I was no real help because I haven't made many but she forged ahead and created one funky house. Keeping Mack and Mike from eating it hasn't been easy. I think it is right up there with the Bergz gingerbread masterpieces.

Blessing Day.

with his Great Grandma Vylma

We blessed the little man yesterday after church at Liz and Pete's home surrounded by family and friends. We were even able to skype in Lucy and my parents. It was a lovely gathering on a lovely day for our little man.
