Finally, the pictures of France

Ok ok, i know. It took me a while... But here they are. Finally. The pictures of our early christmas party at home. About 2 weeks early since it prooved impossible to get everyone together at christmas time. Not that we weren't in the right spirit... Presents, loads of food (it took me a while to loose the kilo's i gained..) and of course a lot of fun... Sandra thought it was great seeing everybody again after so long a time. And i must say, i did enjoy it almost as much as she did. I even have the impression that everybody enjoyed the get-together.

Of course there was a bit of preparing to do. I tried to help but was shooed out of the kitchen.. So i garded the presents. And afterwards i was put in charge of the presents we needed to take back for Kyaw Kyaw.... A very heavy load i can tell you that.

I loved the lights and Aranka was so nice to allow me to sit on her head while i took a closer look.
This evening was also the evening we met our new travel partner Frans. He was really excited about going off on a big adventure. But i still think he's abit too warmly dressed... (he's started to complain lately...)

And then it was the all out for the food.... dig in and help yourself. I did. Till i almost burst.....

I also met the new dogs. 8 months old and still growing (though i have been informed that they'll not grow much more). They're cute and chew on everything.. (sandra took only pictures of the top of the table because there was all the excitement going on. Food, people.. but if you'd look at the table legs you'd see that there are big plastic pipes around it since the dogs liked to sharpen their teeth...). And the od dame. not in the mood for the antics of the young ones...
