It's cold outside!

It's freezing outside and the backyard is a lake.  However, we are cosy inside with the fire and looking forward to a holiday in sunny, dry California.

We will be in Auckland for Manaaki's birthday so he had a party early with his friends.  He directed the decorating of his cake from the initial concept, shopping for decorations and finally directing me on how to apply the icing.  We were proud of the result.  Super Kids is his own super hero group that he has created with his friends and they are very serious about it.

I'm feeling a little stressed about getting ready for the trip but also excited about getting a break and very excited about meeting my new niece in Auckland before we go!
