1st of advent

Time to dig out those biscuit cutters - first ginger bread biscuits of the year.

More snow

It has not stopped snowing all day think its time for some fun in the snow.

So Christmas has arrived

The traditional window display at NK and as usual Father Christmas was there as well!

Luckily there were many little helpers around to hand out ginger biscuits

big and small

because there was a long que to see Santa and he talked to every child for a long long time

but finally Lilly and Mina could hand over their wish lists

and get a big hug from Santa him slef.

Fathers day

Mum is selling the appartment block and is clearing out everything she has in the basement (where she also operates her antique store from) and going through old boxes I found my little brothers lego - I said Oh, I think Mina would really like that, but really I was thinking of Paul - Happy fathers day!

Halloween

A fantastic evening spent together with Minas favorite friend, Sally, Jossan and Andreas, Johan and Julie.

The first snow of the year

And the snow is here. his is early even for this part of Sweden. And not nice to drive in with summer tires!! We've been talking about changing to studded tires for days but just not got around to do it. The early snow is obviously causing some problems but at least the country doesn't come to a stand still. Mina has been to the doctor after having a reaction to the antibiotics she has been taking for her pneumonia. The doctor wasn't sure but it might even be chickenpox, poor little one, but I suppose its good to get it when you are little, apparently the younger you are the milder the symptoms.

Lilly's Birthday party

Minas best friend here in Sweden is also called Lilly, can be a bit confusing when we are talking about going to see Lilly.
