Christmas 2011

Christmas Eve Day - fun with blocks!

Marcus made the Norwegian dessert lefse (potato pancakes spread with butter and sprinkled with sugar & cinnamon). He made it from scratch and WOW was it yummy! We have it every Christmas in Minnesota :)

A very weird bug Murray spotted in the garden


YAY Christmas breakfast!

Christmas afternoon Peter, Murray & Helen took Marcus to a nearby beach where kangaroos hang around

Licking her pouch to clean it

Chillin'

Those could do some damage

a little snack


The annual Christmas cake was dedicated to Marcus this year and WOW was it YUMMY!!!!

We had a lovely Christmas lunch, followed by pavlova - fabulous!

Later in the afternoon we took Genna to the beach - the tide had just been in though so the sand was very damp. It was a LITTLE bit windy - ha ha!


FUN to make a mess!

Hmmm what else can I do?

Dig & splash!



I LOVE GETTING DIRTY!!!!



All that activity called for a rest with Uncle Marcus when we got back to the house

She love love loves her stroller - puppy is the perfect size to push around!

Genna by our new SUV - cute & cute!

Happy Lady - it was such a nice Christmas :)
