IT'S BECAUSE I WILL HEAR YOU BETTER...

" Upside down, boy you're turning inside out and round and round....." maybe this is the song Doris is being protected from, cause it sticks to your mind.... like glue.....

Found this really cute picture on my sister's facebook page (again.....) of Doris trying out her most exciting christmas gift. I have to better posting pics on facebook or here... but it is that damn computer at home. It refuses to get the internet connection working and the helpdesk is not helping. Anyone who knows of a computer wiz kid out there who wants to make a few bucks to get the crap working???? If so let me know.... I'm probably very good to negotiate price with at the moment - I just want the stuff to work!

COUSIN LOVE

V is soooo happy to hold her little cousin Doris - not quite sure Doris agrees....

Puss på dig!

Day by day I'm catching up and we have now reached the Christmas Holidays....
We celebrated Christmas in two rounds this year. Christmas Eve was spent toghether with M's parents in Gothenburg and Christmas Day we packed the car and headed up to Bengtsfors, which is about a good 2 hrs drive from Gothenburg, to continue the celebrations togheter with my parents and my sister's family.
Vendela loves her baby cousin Doris, and talks about her constantly. But talking is one thing... lending her toys - that's a completely different story:-)

BACK IN TIME.....

One, two, three..... make a wish!
Vendela, M and myself doing what we can to make it come true!

I know I'm totally messing up the chronological order on this blog, but found this great picture(on my sister's facebook page) and if you hadn't already figured it out, it is V's 2nd Birthday which we celebrated @ M's parents place on Lilla Askerön, Orust on July 15 last summer.

How to better do it than with Grandpa Nils' strawberry cake? Well, I don't know......


JULBORD @ Sjömagasinet - Great stuff

V and I in front of on of the many Christmas trees at Sjömagasinet.
Some happy - and completely stuffed girls :-)!

I'm getting complaints I'm not updating as often as I should.... true... sorry..... I just don't seem to be able to make it happen as frequent as I would like. That bloody computer is still not working from home so I'm kind of depending on the pictures I get sent to me from friends and relatives and that I can find on facebook. But one day maybe we'll get it working and I can get back to some serious blogging!

Anyway what I was meaning to talk about was the julbord (Christmas smoergasbord) we had with Magnus' parents, Nils and Tomoko, at Sjömagasinet. Fantastic environment and food. I love the once a year julbord thing, but somehow I never seem to get pass the cold cut and fish section - then I'm completely full! Vendela enjoyed meatballs and sausages and some salmon - but mostly she dug into the chocolate and the other candy available at the dessert table. Heaven for any 2 ½ years old!
