The VT Boys are starting the New Year

This weekend The VT Boys have been taken it easy, after a busy 2010 doing all sorts of things we relaxed in the comfort of our home. For lunch we had lovely oven baked Pannini's with Ham, Cheese and red onion's. 

Mr.Biscuits was trying to get Minecraft working on his virtual machine, but it was not playing ball. Mr.Garfield has been playing Mirror's Edge on the iPad - absolutely a great game. We also installed a new game on the iPad yesterday (Rage) a very intense game, but very good graphics (I believe Mr.Garfield explained to me, this is a Rail motion game)

Mr.Biscuits also gave Mr.Mac his Christmas present (A iPhone Hard protection cover) which he was very pleased with. Of course this weekend Mr.Biscuits had some biscuits, and lots of drinks. Mr.Garfield is going to get his Sony Playstation 3, so he can play even more beautiful games and Blu-Ray movies on his super duper new HD Screen.

In the afternoon we watched IP Man via the Apple TV (Great film) this film was completely in Chinese spoken language with no subtitles but we had no problem understanding what the film was about. This is the story of Ip Man, a legendary Wing Chun Kung Fu master from Fo Shan, China. The film is set in Japanese occupied Fo Shan following Japan's invasion of China during World War II. It recounts specifically one man's opposition the occupying Japanese forces.

For dinner we had Fish, baked beans and mashed potatoes and ice-cream for afters, next week we are going to make pancakes, on request from Mr.Biscuits.

The VT Boys had a double whammy

The VT Boys had a double whammy over the Christmas holidays, and spend New Years Eve together, all the VT Boys (all but one Mr.Mac Jr. was spending it with friends) where together and had a sleep over again, which was great.

As a tradition we watched a film with the whole family (MacGruber) which was very funny, so it was 12 O Clock and the New Year had started, we had a big family hug and Mr Mac. was busy cocking Steak and Bread, another tradition we follow every year. This new year the Mr Garfield and Mr. Biscuits had two little present given to them, Mr.Mac made them two T Shirts with there own individual designs, they loved it.

We all wend late to bed, only to be woken up very early by VT Girl no.3, never mind we knew that it would happen anyway. We spend some time on the XBox 360, made some Sausage rolls and had lovely lasagna for lunch. We know that this year is going to be even better for all of us, because we know that our Father is looking after us all the time.



Mr Garfield still sleeping (7:30am in the morning)



The VT Boys had a great Christmas Together

The VT Boys had a great Christmas together, with lots of fun and games of course. They already had their presents, Mr Biscuits had some extra to unpack, 3 DVDs all about planets and make your own Solar System kit, he promised the next time he is here to visit he will show some pictures of it when it is finished.

Also Mr.Mac was given a Apple TV from Father Christmas and he is very happy with it, so are the other VT Boys because they can watch You Tube, Films and listen to Music on the big TV, absolutely great.

We had for Christmas a traditional Dutch dish (Boerenkool met Worst) and ice cream for afters, yummy. We had lots to eat and to drink, also one of our favorite things we like to do.

The VT Boys also had a sleep over, but sleeping is a luxury because VT Girl no.3 always wakes up very early, however it was not to bad this time (7:30am). We had lots of fun and we watched Karate Kid on the Apple VT which we all liked very much.

The VT Boys love each-other

The VT Boys love spending time together, we do all sorts of things, we like making stuff, playing games and cook lots of food. Over the last few weekends we have spent most indoors because the weather wasn't that great or we just like to spend our time playing games.

The Boys showing off the Sausage rolls

We also have made some sausage-rolls last weekend, a whole bag full, so they can be shared with others, also Mr.Garfield is been showing off his skills at several new video games, Half-Life2, Assessing Creed and the new Black Ops game. Mr.Biscuits has been busy making new virtual machines and turning them in to other machines, with customised skins.

The VT Boys in action

Also Mr.Mac Junior turned up for a weekend spending time with us just to relax a bit after working a busy week at his job at Norwich, he is also spending more time out the office, doing installations onsite. He is very happy with his new job, and is been given a permanent contract.

Mr Garfield happy

This week started the christmas holidays and next week we have Christmas, it has been snowing now for two weeks and it looks like we are getting more. Maybe now is the time we need to remember what Christmas is all about, it is not just for getting presents it is to remember the birth of the son of our father, he must be really proud, Like I am of all my children.

We love each-other

The VT Boys had a easy time

The VT Boys had a easy weekend, we did some chilling and played lots of games this weekend. Mr.Biscuits gave Mr.Mac a nice thank you card for buying his new iPod Nano. Mr.Garfield is very happy with his new screen and game and was very surprised to see Mr.Mac turning up last week with his new game.

For lunch we had Taco's which was very nice, and Mr.Garfield had several helpings. In the afternoon we installed Half Life 2 on the MacBook Pro and Mr.Garfield stormed through the game in no time. Also Mr.Biscuits installed a new virtual machine all on his own, this time he made a Windows XP Professional one. For Dinner we had Tuna bake and ice cream for afters. 

The VT Boys had a sleep over

Last weekend The VT Boys had a sleep over, which was great, that mend we had two days of fun, doing all sorts of things. What made it extra special was that Mr.Mac Jr was also present spending the whole day with us. Because it was Mr.Biscuits birthday last week we gave him a birthday cake in the shape of a Nintendo Gameboy, he loved it and we liked the tasted of it.

The VT Boys like building things, and for his birthday Mr.Biscuits received two lego models he had to build, so we got stuck in and within a hours or so we had them build.

For lunch we had Toasties with Ham and Cheese, and Lasagne in the evening with Cheese Cake for afters. The Cheese Cake was made by Mr.Biscuits. Mr.Garfield had is XBox 360 with him showing all the new games he had in store, and all of them the graphics where amazing. Mr Biscuits was still very happy with his iPod Nano and he was busy putting some more music on it. He also managed to put some more photos on the device.

His virtual machine gave up to ghost, but with his technical skills that was rebuild and up and running in no time. In the Evening we watched Wolverine (in one word fantastic).

The next day it was a early start as VT Girl number 3 was awake at 6am, we did not mind as their was more time to play and to do other things. As a surprise we had Chinese take a way for lunch which we all loved very much. In the afternoon we spend playing on the computers and Mr.Garfield was able to take his new 22" LG LED screen home, so he can plug in his Xbox and Computer at the same time and watch all of it in full HD.

The VT Boys had pancakes

A few days ago The VT Boys made some pancakes for tea, as we had a big roast for lunch on Sunday with all the trimmings. Making pancakes is always fun, specially to toss them in the air. We all had several helpings.

It was a special day for Mr.Biscuits as he was given his birthday present a week early, his Apple iPod Nano with touch screen. He loves it and the first thing we did was put some music on it and a few photos - wow that was easy. Mr.Biscuits could not stop playing with it, and on the back it was engraved with (To Mr.Biscuits Happy Birthday)

Next week the VT Boys are staying over for the weekend, Mr. Garfield will bring his XBox 360 and is going to show Mr.Mac all the fantastic new games he has - he can't wait.
