Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the new cabinet I painted a few weeks ago after it's been decorated for the holidays.



Saga and all of her Christmas decorating treasures.

I of course want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We got to see and talk to my family on our new webcam. It is really a great thing for Saga to get to see everyone and vice-versa. I started my Christmas decorating today. Saga and I had a blast taking everything out of the boxes and talking about everything we found.

Our First Snow

Here Saga getting her first taste of this years snow. We were out on a walk and I had to drag her along because all she wanted to do was put her glove in the snow and lick. It's going to be a long winter if she keeps that up.

It's Been So Long!

Our computer has been broken for the last week, but now we are back in business. I am going to download some pictures tonight and will update the blog soon. Hope you haven't been missing us to much.

I'll just add some pictures from our last boat trip. We thought we'd see if we could make it out to the sea, but I made Axel turn around due to thick ice. It sounded aweful, the boat crashing through the ice. The evening was magically beautiful though.

New Hair Cut

Helena cut my hair on Sunday. I love it! It's short and cute. She is awesome! I tried to do a few self portraits so you could see.

Helena and I


Saga and I on our way to meet the rest of the family for Mormor's dinner celebration at a fancy restaurant. Notice my boots. We actually left early so I could buy a pair of more appropriate boots before dinner.

Axel's 80 year old grandma and her son (Axel's uncle)

This last week has been very busy for our family. It started out with Fanny and Alina staying the night. Saga loves her Aunts and couldn't have been happier having them her when she went to bed AND when she woke up early (6AM). Friday was spent at Axel's grandma's house celebrating the first of three birthday celebartions we were to have for her. She turned 80 on Tuesday. Her son, Ola, and his family drove up from the Stockholm area to be here to celebrate. We ate dinner out on Sat. together and then went back to Axel's parents house and celebrated Arvid's 28th b-day. Then on Tuesday we had the whole family over for dinner for Mormor's last day of celebrating. It was fun to watch Saga and Mormor play together.

Saga and Puzzel

We have a friend that has a new baby kitten. Saga LOVES Cats and thought Puzzel was so cute. I never see her run so fast as when she is chasing a cat.
