Christmas 2009


This is our artistic version of Sarah - she stands in our dinning room
and so it feels like she not that far away from us.


Kim carries the christmas tree

 



Majbritt poses in front of the tree - with Sarah´s shoes on.


Astrid starts decorating the tree


Most of the ornaments have a history - like the 3 ladies here representing from left:
Sarah, Astrid and Majbritt


 


and here are ornaments given to us by Leslie ..:-)


can´t remember this one!!!


Lots of lovely memories :-)

 


Kim watching at a safe distance

 


The café is closed for Christmas and even Sanne seems to rest :-)

 


Kim certainly does :-)

 


This years Christmas decoration - the theme 25 years of Christmas
- some thing from every year is there

 


A view from the table - notice "Sarah" in the background

 


And the Christmas carolers from Judy + a poster to the left from
one of the demonstrations from the COP15


 
Merry Christmas Sarah :-) the family gathered at Ann Britt and Peters
for dinner on the 24th and greets Sarah, who is away in Argentina this year 2009

Ann Britt and Viggo




Traditonal dessert - rice pudding and in it is a hole almond,
the lucky one who finds it gets a present :-) And look Viggo got it....

 




......and so did Sigfred :-)




A classic photo!! 
Viggo and Sigfred shows the almonds, but with the delay on the camera
due to the flash, the boys continues to raise their hands a split second
and the almonds are out of the picture!!!! :-)

 




The 3 young ones all got flashlights as presents for the almonds
- and what better place to check out the light than under the couch
- down there it is dark.




And among the adults - Astrid - found the almond.....
.....or was it Kim who passed found it and passed it one?? :-)


 




Astrid seems overwhelmed :-)




Time to call Sarah in Argentina and wish her a MERRY CHRISTMAS :-)
Kim combines talking with Sarah, with keeing in shape


 




Everyone gets to talk to Sarah - here Astrid who at the same time
points out that Sigfred lots his front tooth




While waiting the Christmas tree to be lit, Viggo and Majbritt
watches a movie on the computer


 






Time to dance around the tree :-)
Majbritt, Astrid and grand-dad Otto

Finally - what every child looks forward to - PRESENTS :-)
 






Joy :-)
 






 




New shoes for Majbritt?




 




Proud :-)




Relaxing after a wonderfull Christmas Eve
 




Back home - time for bed - Astrid and Majbritt in their new sleeing robes.




Christmas morning the 25th - breakfast is ready
 







 






Majbritt trying out her gift from Astrid and Sarah´s shoes
- ready for New Year Eve´s  


 




And then 3 days at the vacation house - total rest - so much,
that not even the camera came to our minds more than once.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL :-)
THINKING OF YOU SARAH :-)
