Christmas Day 2006

The great day has arrived, the day that has been being prepared for, for weeks ( if not months ) Christmas Day.
As an honoured guest Cuddly Kiwi had the run of the house before the day got into full swing, so he took a tour of the main dining table, prepared for the expected 10 guests.

He did sneak in to try out a place at the Christmas table.

Kiwi met some new friends of the soft toy variety before most of the humans arrived

Kiwi was introduced to probably the most important person visiting the Harrington house today - 11 month old Abi Jay who was enjoying her first Christmas -

Kiwi spent some time resting in the Christmas Tree while the humans ate, drank and opened their presents.

Kiwi had a very exciting, but strenuous Christmas Day and retired to bed early looking forward to an exciting Boxing Day.

Cuddly Kiwi has a Welsh Christmas

Cuddly Kiwi our travel pet from Moturoa Classroom at Appleby School near Nelson in the South Island of New Zealand.
since he has been with us he has visited many pupils houses, and has been on visits with them.
For Christmas he has gone home with Mr Harrington to spend his Christmas in Maesygwartha and beyond. He started his vacation by going to The Leisure Village in Cardiff on Christmas Eve. He went to the cinema the see Happy Feet, this made him feel a little homesick as most of the action takes place with the Emperor Penguins in Antarctica.
Following his trip to the cinema he went to the Holywood Bowl Bowling Centre where he watched some rather under par games of pool before watching a mammoth bowling session won by Grandma Jean ( a champion Green Bowler).

Cuddly Kiwi is seen here enjoying a cool drink before the action began.

Tomorrow is Christmas Day, Kiwi is certainly looking forward to this special day, so look out for more photographs tomorrow...
