It's Christmas time

Marit and I have been knocked out by a stomach flu for a few days, so our activity level has been kept to a minimum around here. Luckily (and amazingly!), Niklas and Emma have steered clear from catching it (so far..). It's been no fun, I tell you, but thankfully we're more or less back to normal now!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and that you had a lovely Christmas! We had a great time getting together with Marit's family in Oslo where we (14 in total, this year) celebrated Christmas Eve. Niklas was a little trooper staying up until midnight (when the last gifts were opened). We loved the gifts and holiday greetings we have received from you all (especially "Made with Love by Grandma"!). Both Niklas and Emma will get great use out of everything. Here are a few pics from our holiday:

Thanks for the call so late for you but appreciated by us. Thanks also for reminding us of your blog. It was special to see and read what is happening in your lives. It brings us closer. Sorry about the flu bug but glad you are now over it. The children look so happy and into the Christmas spirit. Now Mummy has that digital photo-frame we look forward to seeing many more photo's on a regular basis. Adrian comes down next week and will get it up and going. Happy New Year to you all and lots of love, hugs and kisses. Dad
