Pre-New Year's

Before New Year's, we went down to the beach. I found a good bedspread to practice my camouflage skills on, though Strange Panda stuck out a bit too much.


Once we left the bed to go look outside at the ocean. Home is way across there somewhere.


You could see a long way down the beach. It was very pretty.


My direction was not quite as pretty, though I got to see a long pier instead.

Visiting Paul, Keiko and Ray

After Christmas we stayed with Uncle Paul and Aunt Keiko in our cousin Ray's bed.


It was a very comfortable bed as you can see.

Santa's arrival

Santa showed up, but he was a lot shorter than we thought he would be.


Bill couldn't tell which was the real Santa!


With Santa here we could start opening presents up. Bill was sneaking over to open some of Ray's presents up.

Later we had Christmas dinner, and Bill got a nice hat to wear from a cracker.

Christmas!

For Christmas we went to the US, and Bill got to meet Strange Claus, also known as Father Panda.


After I got dressed up Bill wanted to also, so he became a stocking stuffer.


The tree looked really big from down there.

And there were so many presents!

Beautiful bowls together at last

Dad finally got around to making a bowl of my lovely face as well, so now there is the perfect set, just like the two of us together.

Our bowls were very popular at the Christmas dinner.

My bowl - it's the best!

My face is so gorgeous, and you can see my little tail sticking out the top.

Here you can see my bill and feet which go over the edge of the bowl.

Here's half of the bottom of the bowl - with a tree with a tiny SP climbing it and the sun.

On the other half of the bottom there are yummy water bugs for me to eat.
