HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

These holidays are going to be great because my Mum's Family from Ireland/France are going to be coming to New Zealand for 3 weeks!!! It will be the first time my little cousins Magnus and Lochlann will have come here. Magnus is five and Lochlann is three. Auntie Sinead, Uncle Will, Grandpa Sean, Uncle Garret and Auntie Aisling (MY NAME!) will also be coming. they are going to stay for Christmas and New Year.

For Christmas Eve we are going to have dinner at my Auntie Mag's house. Then on Christmas Day my family opens the presents at my house, we get our presents in a pillow case. Then we open our presents from each other and have a Christmas breakfast of pancakes or muffins (usually with a cup of tea as well).

For New Year every year we go out to the Wairarapa Coast to my Dad's cousin's farm. We go swimming in the river by the farm and make hutts in the bush. And on New Years Eve we have a big dinner and then eat chocolate until the clock strikes midnight. Then afterwards we go tumbling into bed with full tummies.

But for the rest of the holidays, I'll be in MAHIA!!!! I'm SO exited. Mahia is a peninsula near Gisborne where we go to be with my Dad's family. my dad has six other siblings so there are usually a whole lot of cousins around. there are many different beaches around the peninsula that all have very different treasures on them. Mahia is my favourite part of the holidays over all.
