A few weeks ago, just before Christmas, I spent the weekend with Pippa and her family here in Discovery Bay. I had a fun filled one with two birthday parties, Christmas bun baking, a restaurant visit, unexpected snow in IFC and a Christmas concert. Pippa’s mum took photos throughout the weekend, so you can see what I was up to. I hope you will enjoy them.
Pippa’s dad bake these special Swedish Christmas buns every year around Christmas. Pippa and her sister, Stella, helped out, but I mostly just watched as my hands got so dirty when I touched the flour.
Once we had made the dough and formed the buns, we went to a birthday party of one of Stella’s friends. The birthday girl turned 5, and it was a great party. Here I am together with Pippa and the birthday cake in the background.
Once back from the party, the buns were out of the oven. The house smelled wonderful, and the buns were so yummy. Me and Pippa shared the ‘P’ shaped bun that I am holding in my hand.
Then off we went to the next birthday party. Here we are in the Marina bus on the way to the Marina play ground where the party was going to take place. I got a bit dizzy hanging upside down, but it also made me laugh.
Here I am in Pippa’s arm while she is getting a face paint. I asked for one too, but the lady did not think it was a good idea.
Pippa, now with a butterfly, and me in the sun. It was getting hot and right after this photo was taken we went back home. I slept in Pippa’s bed that night, all cuddled up and feeling very loved and protected
Next morning, PIppa and Stella were playing with play dough, and they made me a special chair so I could participate too.
Later, we took the ferry to town. We were going for lunch in a restaurant and afterwards to a concert. Here we are on the ferry looking at Pippa’s mummy’s phone.
On the way to the restaurant, we walked through IFC to look at the Christmas decoration. All of a sudden it started to snow, and me and the girls had so much fun playing with it. Here, Pippa is lifting me up so I can see better.

Finally we arrived to the restaurant. I was so hungry and jumped straight into the bread basket.
-and me with snow all over. Even though the snow was fake, it was a fun experience. I have never experienced the real thing, but I really hope to one day.

Waiting in line to get into the concert hall. The show was a classical Christmas concert for kids, and we all enjoyed it very much.
I have never tried anything like it. The music was so beautiful, written by guys with names like Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
I managed to sneak down to the very front. Here I am on the music rest very close to the musicians.

Goodbye for now, dear Farm friends. I am already looking forward to my next adventure.
