Pancake Day

The little ones wanted to surprise their Momma and Poppa for pancake day and get all the ingredients themselves from the grocery store. But the maple syrup was on the top shelf, and you can't have pancakes without it!

"Young man, do you think you should be up there?"

With all their groceries in tow, they headed home to make as many pancakes as they could!

"I'll be Chief Pancake Tosser"
"remember what happened last time, Michael? They all stuck to the ceiling!"

They worked so hard, but every time they made a batch of pancakes they burnt them, or Michael accidentally tossed them on the floor. But finally they made the perfect stack. So they drizzled them with maple syrup, grated them with chocolate and banana and took them to their Momma and Poppa.

" We made you these!"

A Land Down Under

The sun was shining and the day was looking beautiful. Mr Beaver couldn't wait to hit the beach and check out the surf along Australia's famous Gold Coast!

"Kowabunga Dude!"

Renee couldn't wait to explore the Australian outback so she joined the summer Kayak Club. She met a new friend, Oliver Periwinkle, who was on holiday with his family too. They kayaked all around the Australian swamps.

"Oh do be careful Oliver not so fast, there could be crocodiles!"

Michael and Jerome were invited to Bruce and Carissa Billabong's home for an authentic Aussie BBQ and play date with Joey and baby Addie. They were such a lovely laid back family.

"G'day boys, lets get this babie going shall we!"

Meanwhile, Mrs Beaver took the opportunity to relax as she had the entire pool to herself, bliss.

"Now this is the life…"

 After a wonderful trip it was finally time to fly home. They'd all had such a wonderful time and spent the whole flight home planning their next trip to Aus!

"Quick inside everyone, it's so cold, brrrrr!"

Leaving on a jet plane

The Beaver Family were extremely excited. They have just boarded a Sylvanian Airways flight,  they will be flying all the way down under to beautiful Australia! 

"Here you are, Michael. I'll pop that into the overhead storage for you"
"Thanks Poppa!"

The Air-stewardess was so lovely and made sure everybody was comfortable, well fed and watered. 

"Poppa it's meal time, you're going to miss your dinner!"

Mr Beaver was so comfortable he fell fast asleep for the entire journey

"ZZZzzzzzzzz"

After many hours in the air, the Beavers arrived in sunny Australia! The were all surprisingly refreshed after such a wonderful flight aboard Sylvanian Air! 

"Lovely to meet you all Beaver Family,
I shall see you all in two weeks, have a wonderful trip!"

A very merry christmas

The Beaver family have had a wonderful christmas. Family time is such a special time. Merry Christmas one and all!

"These roast potatoes are divine, Mrs Beaver"

After dinner, they all snuggled up around the television for a lovely Christmas movie with popcorn.

"Momma, I can't reach my popcorn!"

The festive season was at an end. The whole family helped each other to take the christmas things down, and polish all the surfaces hidden by the decorations. It was time for a fresh new year!

"Michael you be careful!"

The Sylvanian Christmas Markets

The Beaver family were extremely excited about this years Christmas Market. It was set up right in the centre of the village.

"Oh my goodness, Mr Beaver stay close, I may need your wallet!"

Renee had been practising hard with the Berry Grove School band. The are performing Christmas songs to all the shoppers at the market.

"Ok guys, we've got this.Lets start with Jingle Bells, a real crowd pleaser!"

Mrs Beaver didn't know she needed it until she found it, but she found a christmas tapestry that would look wonderful in their lounge room.

"Now were's Mr Beaver and his wallet gone?"

But Mr Beaver was nowhere to be found. Then she heard the loudest noise, and she knew exactly where he was. Mr Beaver was front and centre singing along with the band!

"DING DONG MERILY ON HIGH!"
"Oh Mr Beaver, what are you like?"

After emptying Mr Beavers wallet, they all headed for the tram home.

"Do you think we'll get on with all these extra things?"

Pushed together like little sardines in a tin they all made it onto the tram. What a wonderful time they had at the markets. They couldn't wait until next year!

"Who wants hot chocolates when we get home?!"

Autumn Leaves

 Mrs Beaver was busy sweeping all the Autumn leaves from the path. It was taking her quite some time, once she'd clear the path it seemed to fill with leaves all over again. 

"Look at that big pile of leaves over there!"
"MICHAEL NO!!!!"

But it was too late. Before Mrs Beaver could finish what she was saying, little Michael had cycled his trike right through the pile of leaves!

"WEEEEEEEEEEE"

The beautiful leaves were flying everywhere, it was like orange red and orange snow! But when turned around and saw his Momma's sad face, he felt very bad. She'd worked all morning to clear the leaves only to be right back at the beginning. So he found his little trowel and fork and got to helping clear up the mess he'd made.

"Im sorry Momma, I just couldn't help myself"
"Don't worry little one, I guess two hands are better than one!"

Halloween mischeif

All of the children gathered around the grounds of Berry Grove School for the Halloween festivities. They had done a grand job of decorating the School to look like a haunted house. The little ones especially loved the miniature haunted village.

"Jerome, I think you could fit inside the little house"
"I could try!"

Then Michael saw the witches Broomsticks parked up by the School wall and had an idea!

"Quick, help me sweep up all these leaves!"
"You are so helpful Michael"

Once his little bucket was full to the top with Autumn leaves, he found a set of ladders and placed it high up ontop of the school doors.

"You be careful up there!"

He timed it perfectly, when his sister Renee came out of the doors to show everyone her new home made halloween costume, she was showered in leaves.

"Oh my! It'smust be the spirits of halloween!"
"hee hee hee!"
