A Small Update and Happy Holidays

 

On December 12 we went to the birthday of my owner's mother!

We took the train to get there.

There was a really cool cream cheese cake that was decorated by my owner's niece.

And I got to a piece of loaf cake that my owner's brother made for a local baking contest and that won first price! Well deserved in my opinion, it was super yummy.

There were lots of other yummy snacks, and in the evening we traveled back to Groningen after a fun and food filled afternoon.

We are gearing up for Christmas and already received some Christmas presents and boxes that are waiting to be opened. Thanks to everyone who sent us things to make our Christmas a fun one!

Fun at the Garden Center

 

An Update from Gilbert

 

I haven't blogged in a while so it is time for an update.

Last month I went out for dinner to the Korean restaurant.

I got to eat squid!

And I had a Wasabi Martini of course!

I've been accompanying my owner to work. On our way home we often pass this cool building with a big chimney with lights on it.

There's also an awesome mural at the building.

We received an early Sinterklaas/Christmas present last week.

And Sinterklaas left marzipan piggies in our shoe a couple of days ago.

He also brought us book-shaped presents!

Oh, I saw the movie Dune not long ago. I wonder if I'll like the book better than the movie. Sullivan says I need to see the old movie, which is awesome in his opinion, but first we'll read the book together.

What's Gilbert been up to lately?

 

Last Monday we went out for dinner with a friend of our owner. We went to La Cubanita, a tapas restaurant.

We had lots of yummy food, including this small pizza with pear and blue cheese.

I got to try a Cherry cocktail.

We also had nachos and corn.

And goat cheese.

After my Cherry cocktail I got a Strawberry Mojito.

All in all it was a really fun evening with lots of yummy things. I would't mind doing it again sometime.

This weekend we had lots of strawberries.

Which we used to make strawberry jam! Delicious.

We also went for a walk into town on Saturday.

The New Church!

It was a lovely day for a walk.

Today we took a walk to Garnwerd. We wanted to get a bite to eat there, but they only had snacks. Luckily we had food at home, so after a long and fun walk we made cauliflower soup. 

I hope we do more fun stuff soon.
