Martin & Family visit
Christmas 2008/ New Year /09
We were lucky that the family decided to visit us for Christmas
Here are some of the 800 pictures taken by us all during the holiday.

The Christmas tree was ready when our guests arrived

We took a walk on the Seafront, to feed the swans

On the beach Mika learns that all seaweed is algae, but not all algae is seaweed!

Little Princess is getting Rosy cheeked

Grandad finds how heavy Ma'ayan has become!

It was very cold, down to -7c some nights

Ma'ayan loves Dinosaurs, here at the Natural History Museum

Triceratops ( we think)

A very believeable T Rex

Next target - The London Eye

Mr Cool grasps the handrail - tightly

I'm not scared!

And on....

I wonder what's inside this one

Alma and Ma'ayan naturally received non - birthday presents

Ben Ten is his favourite

Granny keeps a watchful eye at Go Bananas

A light lunch in between all that exercise

Mika prefers poisonous looking blue slush!

One of the last outings was to Fab & Fun, the Boss looks on

we hope they will remember Granny's
Christmas lights - till
the next time...
