Strange Christmas

Merry Christmas to all. We had a strange Christmas here in Sweden. Saga was really really sick the whole week before Christmas. I was wondering if she was ever going to feel better, high fever and just wanted to sleep all the time. Finally on Christmas Eve she pulled out of it and we actually got to leave the house and spend x-mas with Axel's family. Axel wasn't there though because he was on call all x-mas weekend. A big cable broke and we was working ALL weekend. So Christmas day was spent at home just the three of us. Saga got to open her presents from America. Below is her Bitty Baby named Emma. Thank you for sending us gifts in Sweden. I know postage costs a lot and sometimes the boxes don't even show up. My mom sent three boxes and only two have arrived. Everyday we get mail (mon, wed, fri) we hope for a box.

Farmor helping Saga put on a new dress she got for Christmas.

Farfar trying on Alina's new helmet.

Santa came with a big sack of gifts.

Uncle Arvid and a drooling Sixten. He's always naked because his clothes get so wet.

Not the best Christmas picture but it will have to do :)

Christmas Killer and Sick Saga, what a pair.

Siblings

Saga holding Sixten. It doesn't look like it here but he really loves his sister. She can make him smile, laught, and cry. Love those two so much.

Saga's Minks

Yes, there are 7 frozen minks laying on my living room floor. Saga and Axel have a mink trap down by the water in front of our house. Every evening consists of them going out to check the mink trap. They have been very pleased with their trap, 7 were caught this fall. She is quite the hunter/trapper.

Videos and More

He loves to have his head like this when he's sleeping. It looks worst than it really is, I promise.

Here is a link to a new video of Saga doing some great dancing and one of Sixten laying on his tummy. Enjoy!

Weekend Report

HI! We had a fun and busy weekend. Arvid and Helena were here so we could finally celebrate Arvid's 30th birthday. Sat. was filled with fun at Farmor and Farfar's house. We played all day and then had a wonderful dinner in celebration of Arivid. Sunday was more celebration with friends. It's snowed here and been rather cold. Winter is here!!

Sixten could stand and look at the puppies all day.

We had some wonderful light this morning. Thought this was a great photo opportunity.

Halloween Fun

Sixten with his great grandma who turned 82 today.




Sixten looking at his Mama.




He's found his hands and loves sucking on them.

Practicing sitting at the table. It's still a bit dangerous due to the lack of head control. He is really stable but untrustworthy. Boy does he drool, could it be teeth already???

Yesterday was our second annual Halloween Party. Fun was had by all.

We had...

a witch

a skeleton

a lion

an Indian

a clown and a pregnant lady dressed as an old man with a big belly

3 princesses and a few more guests who didn't get their pictures taken.
