New Years Eve 2010

This year was the last New Year's Eve that fireworks could be purchased on our Island, and so every man, women and child enthusiastically had set off fireworks from 12 noon to 5am. It sounded like the whole Island was under attack. The view from our house showed most of the Island's spoils, it was jaw dropping to say the least. Eric tried to estimate the amount of money our little Island resident's spent on fireworks in one night and it came out to millions! They do like to party hard here.

Christmas Day 2010

Christmas Morning!!!

Pearce must have been a good boy this year.

Santa leaves all his presents unwrapped for Pearce.

Pearce starts opening presents.

Pearce is very slow and careful not to rip the paper.

And so Christmas morning is the longest morning of our lives.

Tool set!

What could it be?

Our little Christmas Candy Cane!
