Welcome to Webkinz!

This is our new friend Bernie!

He also came to join us for Christmas (although he can't fit in our car). But Bernie is a Webkinz, and he has a whole world of friends on the internet!!! Kinda like our blogging, but different. He is a puppydog Saint Bernard, so when he grows up, he will be SO SO BIG.

He's lots of fun, and we are enjoying the chance to show him stuff, and enjoy California with him.

Zoom Zoom!!!

This is the best Christmas EVER!!!!
We got a CAR! We have been wanting a car for Sooooo long!!!
She's a Mini Cooper with a radio and great speed!! Zoom zoom!!!!!

Thank you thank you Fr Christmas!!! We must have been soo good! This is sooooo cool!!!
Yeah! Life is a highway!

A Quick Stopover

Wow! We are on our way to the holiday travels! Time for a quick stop to MI and the snow! And guess what!! We were able to go to the Detroit Zoo and see some friends!


We also got to see JM, of course, and enjoy the snow. Georgia has been fun, but it sure is nice to have real hot chocolate when it's actually cold! We also got to eat lots of cookies. Yummy!!! So now we are ready to make our way to CALIFORNIA baby!!!

Time to catch the rays, catch up with the fam, and see if we can catch some waves! Yup, it's still surfing weather. Oh yeah. So we're racking up the frequent flier miles and looking after Ann while she relaxes on vacation. Life is good.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We are all set for the holidays!! We have put up our stockings (and climbed into them!) and put up our tree! It's HUGE!!! For us. Yeah. Huge.

See our toucan on the tree? He's from Costa Rica. He came back with us. He's cool. :-)

We have been baking too!!! Lots of cookies and stuff! Yummy! The whole place smells good. Here we are, with Santa Bear and Humphrey!! First Christmas in the South!! YAY!

The Holidays are Coming!!!

And we wanted to share a few of our favourite Holiday moments with you from the good times we've shared with Bear at the Big Blue House! Yup! Do you have your reindeer wreath?


Pip & Pop: "It's a reindeer wreath!"

Bear: "Oh! A wreath for a reindeer! What a great idea! But... what's with all the stuff?"

Pip & Pop: "Oh! It's the coool things reindeer like!"

Pip: "Like, some apples in case they get hungry..."

Pop: "And a tennis ball, in case they wanna play catch."

Pip: "Yeah, cause you never know."


Hee hee. And how is the Christmas shopping? We know it is hard.


Tutter: "What do you get the bear who has everything?"

Treelo: "Bear has everything?"



Pip: "Well, he has a swing in the living room."

Pop: "I'd say that's everything!"

Pip: "Yeah."

Pop: "Yeah."
