Christmas (lite) 2012

-
Just wanted to share a few photos from Christmas 2012...
this year was "lite"
because lack of time this year... I did everything on a much smaller scale..
I was sooo laid back..(or just late) that this is the first time in 17 years together..
Bjørn asked if I was going to put a tree up..
Yes.. I was THAT late..
but the tree eventually made it up.. and the gifts made it under.. finally on the 23rd.
(Eva 8 & Dane 13)

We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner at my in laws, with the cousins..












We had turkey at our house on Christmas day...
with a beautiful snowfall...
we ran out & took advantage of it..
building snow people & of course the snowball fight.





(Ya... you really don't want to know..)

On the 2nd day of Christmas... - yes, they do that here...
We took the kids to a PLUMBO concert...
the kids had a fantastic time.. & were able to meet the band after the show..



I hope all of you have had a very Happy Holiday...
Hard to believe that there is only one more day in 2012... where has the year gone?

Hei hei og hjertelig tusen takk for trivelige ord i bloggen min :-) Alltid så superkjekt når noen nye bekjentskaper legger igjen noen ord, betyr mye mer enn hva du aner.

Et år har gått, men ett helt nytt ubrukt står for dør. Virkelig dagen for å være litt sentimental dette, og alltid har jeg tåren i øyekroken på en slik dag :-) Bare fordi en er glad for å være med på denne `reisa` :-))

Kos deg meg kvelden og GODT NYTT ÅR!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
