Christmas Tree & Pine Cones

Yesterday we went to Onehunga and bought a Christmas tree. We set it up easily enough but it took several hours to find the lights! This morning Maree and Rachel painted some pine cones that will later go on the tree.

I'm still not used to a southern hemisphere Christmas (warm weather) but having a real tree with the pine smell makes it easier to bear.
