The Smith Christmas in Hastings

Nothing like the annual Smith Christmas! We get together in early December so more of us can be there - with 6 families this is often no mean feat! This year we went to Uncle Wayne and Aunty Carolyn's in Hastings and because there is nothing like Smith's getting together, here's some photos so you feel in on the action...

Oh the cousins ... my old they've got!

Talia, Hannah, Daniel, Matt, Michael and Emma

The third to youngest (shows how old we all are now) ... Olivia

Mum, Anne-Marie and Lauren laughing. I won't mention why. You can ask them yourself.

A bit of volleyball in the Saturday afternoon. Nothing like a bit of competition aye!
