From Marth: After 41 hours of travel, I was absolutely delighted to make it safely through customs in Christchurch and walk out into a sea of people and immediately spot Smith! Tears filled my eyes and I gave that handsome boy a big hug! What a Christmas. I feel so fortunate to be in New Zealand with Smith. We slept in a cool, cozy back house and didn't get up until 11. I met Nico and Lui, who are very cute and constantly on the go. We immediately got to work and bailed some hay. Nico chased the alpacas around the pasture-hilarious! We headed to the golf course for 9 and both played really well. After going to the grocery and picking up the ingredients for a home made cake, we bar-b-qued with a couple of other families out back and then played rugby/football in the sprinklers! I was proud to say that the cake tasted like Mom's! It is 65 degrees and Christmas Eve. Things could not be going any better. This family is hospitable and fun! Tomorrow, Smith and I will head to Queenstown. Lots of love and a Merry Merry Christmas! We have much to be thankful for this year and every day!

What wonderful pics!
Great to see both of you having such a great time. Wish I was there...really!
Josh got your postcard, Smith...he was very thrilled to get one addressed especially to him.
Have a Happy New Year, and I'm greatly looking forward to seeing you again.
