Christmas Eve

It was green and "warm" outside when we woke up on Christmas Eve but after being in Florida the last few Christmases we managed to create the Christmas feeling anyways. Together with mormor and morfar we had a very good day that started at the place where my grandma, gammelmormor, lives. We had coffee and Christmas cookies while opening Christmas presents with her. She was surprisingly happy and alert so I am very happy that we had the chance to have some Christmas celebration with her!

Where is the snow... Where is Santa?

Marlee got a Christmas gift from gammelmormor

And she got one, too :-)

Gabriel's Christmas gift from gammelmormor...

... that he really liked!

After our visit with gammelmormor we all went home to our house to continue the celebration with the tradiotion (Swedish) "Kalle Ankas Jul" (Donald Duck's Christmas) on TV. It is one hour of different Disney videos focusing on Christmas. After that we had Christmas dinner and then Santa came!!! Noah was cautious but not as scared at all as last year and Santa even got a hug! Gabriel was curious but kept a distance to Santa :-) Marlee noticed that Santa had the same pants and shoes as morfar and spontaneously said "it was morfar!", but after a while he seemed to have changed his mind and seemed to think that it was Santa again.. When Santa had left it was time for us to share gifts with each other and fill up on Christmas candy. It was a great day!!!

Christmas dinner

Santa is here!

Fascinated!

I better hold on to pappa's finger if we are getting any closer to this man!

Thank you, Santa!

Opening Santa's present

Merry Christmas my handsome Marlee!!

Morfar's presents can be interesting, too. The helmet for when working in the forest for example :-)

Look morfar!

Handsome husband!
