Christmas party fun!

This weekend was the hairyLemon Christmas party (Jocelyn's work). Jocelyn planned the party and everyone seems to have a great time. We rented out the tram that loops the city and had food and alcohol provided by local caterers. Jocelyn also hired a local group called The Court Jesters who "crashed" the party and performed some comedy routines on board. Nobody else knew that they were coming which was an added bit of fun! :)

It was also fun to meet everyone's partners. After the tram we all went to a local bar and partied until the wee hours of the morning! It was heaps of fun! It is a really fun group and Jocelyn is really enjoying her time with all of them.

Saturday we went out to enjoy what turned out to be a beautiful day and enjoyed the local market with lots of vendors and artists selling some traditional Maori and Kiwi souvenirs. Later that night we went down the street to enjoy a yummy sushi dinner and then stopped across the street at the casino. No winnings this time :(

Next week we are planning an American Food Night at our place and then maybe bbq at a friend's house.

It is officially summertime here now which is still a little odd but we are adjusting :)
