Christmas prep

We have had some very busy days lately with preparing for Christmas as well as playing and taking care of the house and garden.

Concentrating on raking leaves...




We visited the open preschool the other day with a friend who has three kids to, similar ages. Lots of fun!!


They got to decorate ginger breads at the open preschool. The more the merrier!

Alex turned 30 (a few days ago...)!!!

I am ashamed to have forgotten to write about Alex turning 30!!! However, he did not want to celebrate it much so I blame him ;-) We celebrated him in the morning and had dinner at an Indian restaurant.

Breakfast in bed for the birthday boy




Had a friend over the other day with her 3,5 months old baby. Gabriel was really fascinated!

Birthday dessert, one day late, ice cream with real cookie dough and melted fudge


Doing craft


Taking the pick up to the car wash, in the car wash :-)

Nice camera!!

I have had the chance to borrow a very good camera and had a lot of fun taking pictures of the kids :-) Gabriel is a little sick and his face has a rash, which you can see on the pictures.

Watching TV




Clapping hands

Pappa is home again and we are looking for someone to rent our house

I am not sure I mentioned it but Alex has been to Paris for a week for the UN conference. He simply just worked, worked and worked and even seemed to have lost some weight when he got back home from not eating enough! However, we have worked hard here, at home, too, with baking and cleaning for the "open house" which was today. We have listed our house on a webpage and today was the first time people could come and look at it. It was one family that we thought was interesting and we have some other alternatives, too, so we will see... I was up cleaning until 2 this morning, while Alex was working, so we are both a little tired today.

Picking up pappa at the airport after a long day...



Today was the first really cold day and we had 20F. Sunshine, so no snow yet but soon! I hope!

Time to hit the bed!

Enjoying being home and seeing friends and family

We have had some very nice days as well as some rainy ones, but no very cold days. The boys have been able to use their bikes a lot and we have been outside raking leaves, walking, put up Christmas lights etc. I have also managed to get some things done in the house, such as unpacking and organizing, doing laundry etc, but I have ignored those things as soon as the sun is out :-) At this time of the year you need to go out when there is a good chance to get some sunshine!!

Mormor and morfar "came to town" yesterday so we spent time with them today and yesterday we visited Mobi and the boys were so happy to see him!




Beautiful weather and lots of leaves....



Enjoying the moment with Gabriel while no one else needs me :-)

Bike ride to the "playground"


What would these boys do without each other!!??

This is my morning face!

Beautiful morning today!
