Waiting...

We've still got snow, still got time to enjoy it, still got great friends visiting. Life is slowly starting to approach something more normal as Steinar's condition is consistently, but slowly, improving. He is rather impatient now.

The weather has been pretty good, but it was raining today!

Rebekka and Tobias were super happy to have Hildegunn come visit!

Back in the blogging

Ok, I have to get back in the habit of blogging. But I did blog on Sunday, so not a lot of new things have happened. We had visitors over the weekend, some of them made a tunnel for Rebekka and Tobias in the pile of snow that my dad makes shoveling snow.

How beautiful in the snow!

Since then we have been outside playing and hanging indoors, trying to get the time to pass. Rebekka won a gift certificate on flowers last Sunday, so she bought pink gerbera's so pretty. Steinar also sent me a BIG bouquet of flowers, so now we have a lot of pretty flowers to enjoy.

We do have fun outside.

It's snowing a lot, witch is nice, but we were going to Thailand tomorrow, so we kind of wanted to be on our way back to Asia. Oh well, we are just staying for now.

Strike a pose.

How to sum up

So I haven't posted pictures in forever. I know that a lot of my friends are in Thailand now, and that their internet will not be super quick, but I'm in Norway and can upload pictures really fast! So here comes an update from us in pictures.

In stead of Halloween, we have a tradition with dressing up and go carol-singing while collecting candy between Christmas and New Year, this is a great time, because all houses are filled with candy, fruit and Christmas biscuits.

On the drive from the West of Norway to the East, the landscape was just beautiful the whole way.

Can you see the threes bent heavy by the snow?

On New years eve we went out around 7 to let the kids see some fire works before going to bed. Steinar was inside, due to his foot that was hurting. Me and the kids had a lovely time.

Happy New year 2015, xin nian kuai le.
Steinar (as a joke) said that his new years resolution was to get arthises, well we are all laughing now.

Cousins playing together. The youngest one is off somewhere.

Rebekka on the first skiing-trip of the year.

Mum and Tobias are following, we dropped the staffs pretty fast, I don'r really need them, and Tobias was just hindered.

Benjamin and me has a birthday on the same day. So the kids had a superhero-party (Rebekka was a prinsess).

I'm Batman (read in the darkest voice possible)

My brother got attacked by the cutest superheros ever. 

Present opening.

Anual walk around the Christmas tree. Also called a Christmas tree party.

We got a visit from Ruth, and took her skiing, I went with the kids, and she went alone, she stopped counting after four falls. Rebekka didn't even fall four times;)

We were out in the storm "Nina", it was fun with all the snow, and so fun to play!

This has been Steinars position since New years, he also lays flat. Poor thing.

Mariannes home club, she has two, the other one is the Christmas tree party one...

Who is missing? Ruth loves explorers, so we went to a couple of museums. We also stopped by the flat we are renting out. And picked up visas for China.

A big Whale shark. It's fake, we went to the Kontiki museum, you can just google kontiki or RA1 or RA2 to see what it is all about. It is a big part of Norwegian history, we also went to se FRAM (also a boat, again google!).

There are some fake artifacts from the Easter islands, and a lot of real ones at this museum!

The pile of snow in front of my parents house makes for a lot of fun play time.
Look at the sky, it is often this pretty!
