Our Christmas tree this year - Stefan's dad got it for us. It is about 270 cm tall after we trimmed it some. Good thing we have a high ceiling. This was on the 22nd when we put it up.
Here was Haylie on Christmas Eve morning, after breakfast and ready to open presents.
After presents, Haylie, Grandma and Grandpa went out and played in the snow.
Then we got ready, and after the traditional cartoons at 3 PM went to Stefan's sister's house for Christmas Eve dinner.
This is what 39 weeks pregnant looks like. And probably the most put-together I have been for over a month.
Here we are with my parents at Camilla's house.
My ankles swelled horrendously so I had to sit with my feet up. Fortunately, they decided to put the candy table right next to me. Stefan had made knäck and kola, and I made Grasshopper squares.
Here are the cousins, being forced to pose for pictures before getting to open presents. They played really nicely all evening and didn't even nag to open gifts. We started to wonder what was wrong with them. Henrik found out that night that the baby will be a girl, but I think he is beyond being disappointed at this point and has resigned himself to the fact that he is perpetually surrounded by girls at family gatherings.
Haylie and Cornelia
Tindra and Emely
Henrik
Emely read the tags and the other girls passed out gifts.
Here is Haylie with her pile of loot.
She was hugging whoever the presents were from after each one she opened this year.
Here was today, December 30th, after an afternoon in Visby doing a little shopping.
Stefan had won the grand prize of a 32 inch flat-screen LED TV in an online drawing on Christmas Eve. It came today, so he and my dad went to pick it up.
Now he has some reading material anyway - he always has to read the instructions everytime we get something new. Good thing someone does.
