Stan's Christmas

He joined us for a nice brunch of pancakes



Stan meeting my Mum and Dad



Stan came with us to Auckland to my brothers house for Christmas dinner. He enjoyed having a story with my 2 nieces Emily and Tegan



My nephew Levi took him for a spin on his new skateboard, Stan was a little scared but put on a brave face.



Stan checked out a Summer decorated Christmas tree



Stan hanging with a couple of locals




Stan should have been on his way to Oz, but with a sick baby he never got posted, I hate the thought of him spending New Year's in a post office somewhere, so I'll send him on his journey after New Year's.

Naughty Stanley!

I just caught Stanley trying to get into Sam's Christmas presents.














He got put into time out.

Stan the Man is now in the Bay of Plenty

I heard this knock at the door and lo and behold it was our good friend Stan.













Stan and i went and sat outside cause its a hot day today.













He saw Sam's Jolly Jumper and wanted a go.













Then we checked out the new posts on PAI













Stan was tired from his travels so he had a lie down with Sam

Can't say that we did anything exciting on Friday.
Here's a great photo though...Stanley you want some playdough?
Here ya go!

Showing Stan the Man her tatoo.

Jerry & I went out with some friends for a b-day party.
We thought we would take Stan the Man out on the town!
It's gotten fairly cold in Prague, so we needed to make sure he was warm.
So, we borrowed a sweater from Mr Alaskan Moose (hence the AK on the front of the sweater).
Stanley got a little crazy!

Jerry, Stan and I wish our friend a happy birthday!

First day in Prague!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!
I think Stanley actually got here in 4 DAYS (Thursday, Nov. 15)!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
He arrived in pristine condition. Hardly a wrinkle in the envelope!!

In the next day or two we'll only be doing a little of this and a little of that .


And a LOT of this Ha!


It is COLD here!!!! Brrr!! Here is Stan the Man checking out the snow! That's the tip of his head at the bottom of the pic!


Here are some other random pics from our first day!
