Dreaming of snow
On Sunday we made a trip to a skiing slope nearby. Mainly to check they place out and to see if we can sign Elias up for some skiing lessons. We couldn't because the office wasn't open. The slope wasn't open yet due to lack of snow, but quite many familys were there tobogganing. We felt like the meanest parents for not thinking of bringing ours. Oh well. Elias still loved spending some time in the slope and tried his very best to have fun without the toboggan. Bless him..

2 years
2 years... Such a long time and at the same time just the blink of an eye.
2 years ago you entered our world with the impatience and drama that is so significant for you.
1 year ago you were busy discovering the world and learning to walk.
In the last year so much has happened. You've learned to walk, talk and sing. You love playing with dolls, to take socks off and shoes and hats on . You're extremely cheeky and will give your parents many grey hairs. You love ice cream and sweets but hate potatoes (chips are ok though). You bully your brother from time to time, but he is you biggest hero, we know!
Alice, you rock our world and we love you tons! Happy Birthday!

Last week of the year
Anki and her lot left on the 25th and mum and dad stayed until the 28th. We had a few fairly quiet days playing with all the new stuff. David and I made a trip to IKEA to get some more storage for the playroom and a bed for Alice. She is now sleeping in a proper bed instead of the cot. She's such a big girl.Elias loves the Lightning McQueen "laptop" he got for Christmas. It is a toy laptop with a tiny display and a few educational games. He's really into his letters so I think it is a good thing...
On New Year's Eve we were supposed to have guests but they didn't want to come when we discovered the kids had head lice. As it turned out our supposed guests came down with a stomach bug as well so I guess it wasn't supposed to happen. We ended up having a quiet night in but dressed up and had some nice food and lit some sparklers at least. David and I just about managed to stay up until midnight.
And now it's 2012... What will this year bring?

Christmas
Christmas was lovely (even thought the little snow we had melted on the 23rd). My parents came on the 20th and my sister and Felicia on the 21st (Per joined on the 22nd). We had a few lovely days leading up to Christmas preparing some of the food, decorating the tree and just hanging out.
On Christmas Eve we managed to squeeze "everyone" in and we were 11 adaults, 4 kids and one dog. Crazy but fun! While mum, dad and I prepared the food the others mingled with some glögg. My cousin Therese had the baby on the 31st so we were lucky they could join us!
At dinner the kids had a table of their own which I think they quite liked. After lunch Father Christmas came (Elias said straight away "it's granddad" so we had to come up with some explanation for that later). Alice borrowed a dress from Felicia and she looked absolutely adorable.
