Travelog for: Pip & Pop

Hi,

we are Pip and Pop, we don't want to go to other countries, we want to stay at home and have many guests.

This is Pip the cat:




and this is Pop the hippo:




We hope to have some nice guests.

Today we met our guests Micha, Lilly and Cosyfuzz.




While we got to know each other, our new cat attacked us xD






After that action we showed our guests our favourite games on SEGA Megadrive 2: Sonic and The Lion King. Cosyfuzz tried to play...






After that we showed them mums "holy shrine".






Micha and Cosyfuzz wanted to play with the swords, but they were to heavy for them xD

Today three new TVs arrived at our home: Monster (mums TV) with hist friend Mr. Yoshi from California and Elephantus Claus.
We welcomed them.

Today we helped mommy with a few things, like knitting her socks for the cold days.



Mommys little boy wanted to help too, you can see his hand



After that mommy showed us the hat, she had knitted and sewed for her sister:




aaaaaaand mum showed us her LotR Lego, mommy and her boyfriend are collecting them.




She bought the big castle for her boyfriend for christmas and we helped her to wrap is into the christmas paper.



I think mommys little boy loves Elefantus Claus, he's always picking him, while doing photos xD






Mommy has got a advent wreath already... a bit early, but the wreath is made of plastic and it's decorated by herself.



After all that action, we will rest now.

Today we cooked with mommy. She wanted to cook something simple today, so we've cut the onion n little pieces:



We did some oil in the pot



and water in a bigger pot.



we've put some noodles in the cooking water:



we've roasted the onion and then put the hash (in Austria called Haschee) to the onions.





in the end we mixed noodles and the onion-hash... aaaand enjoyed our meal...





After eating our meal, we decided to bake some christmas cookies: sand tarts (in Austria and Germany called Vanillekipferl)

First we had to get out the vanilla of the vanilla bean:



then we've put almond, flour, sugar, butter and salt together and kneded it to a dough.
We've rolled the dough to little doughrolls and packed it into clingfilm, to put it into the fridge.





We prepared a backing sheet.



After waiting an hour we took the dough out of the fridge and cut them into little pieces, then rolled them out and formed sand tarts.




After baking them we dusted them with sugar and finished our work.



mhhhhh they smelled soooooooo good *_*
