Boxing Day

 The boy was in farm heaven Chez Nonno.

 And then it was a boxing day hike up the way...

...before we were down the hill to greet Santa (via Great Grandma's of course)...  (Don't these three look like they are a family? Feel like a stranger when I am around them - Sav blends in!)

Mac walks the wall back to the car before we head up North in Mr Strawberry.

The goodbyes were....well, they were tough.  Was so great to see Chris, Liz and the boys.  And to watch Savvy and Mac settle in so perfectly with their cousins who are such a lovely, kind bunch.  Luckily, we get to see Rick and kids next weekend, and Nonno's heading our way before we set off to help with the last voyage to the airport.  So we can save some of the drama for later!

Bittersweet.
