Let's Stellabrate!

It's all arrived!! Yippeeee!!!


At 9.20am yesterday morning I was greeted by a huge smiling Maori man at the door who said 'Kia Ora, shipment for Dawes'!!

As two guys brought the boxes, in I had to mark them off on our original inventory which was created all those months ago by our packing company in the UK. The boxes kept coming and coming (there were 78!) and as you can see from the photos below it was a tight squeeze towards the end!

Michael couldn't bare being at work all day knowing that they were here so he came home at lunch time and we proceeded to go through the boxes one by one, just peering inside excitedly going 'eeee, didn't know we had that' and 'who packed that rubbish'?!

Bethany was beside herself with excitement, who knows how she has ended up with so many cuddly toys...

We didn't go through everything and the kitchen stuff will have to stay boxed till the weekend, but we did open some of our photo frames and sadly there were quite a few broken, but luckily only the glass so that can be replaced.

One thing we did know was that somewhere in the boxes was some hidden Stella Artois, and the big pint size cans too!! We certainly made sure we spent some time Stellabrating!
