We also got to see a giant horse and play in the childrens garden.

SORRY FOR THE MESS

I had all the text next to the pictures - and it worked great for a long time. But the BLOOGER site must have changed something because now all the text are on the top of the blogger post. I tried to fix one of them but had a hard time. Hopefully the site will fix their problem and I can put the text next to the pictures again.

Circus!

The Circus came to town the last weekend in February. And thanks to Spangles the clown we got to go. Mommy know him.

We had a great time and we loved all the animals. We saw lions, tigers, camels, horses, ponies, cats elephants and more.

Helping mom decorate cupcakes!

Christmas Eve

In Norway they celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas eve. We invited grandma and grandpa over for a Norwegian style dinner (salmon this year) and then went to Church before we came home and opened the gifts from mormor (mom's mom).

Anna and Dad helping Pastor Ogden sett up the Nativity Scene at Church.

The first gift we got to open. Want to play with it now.

Finally it's open.....

Our new laptops. One is in English and one in Norwegian.

Daddy got a new shirt.

Christmas morning.

Santa must have found the spare key outside. Because we don't have a fireplace. But he made it into the house and came with the candy and gifts. After traveling around the word he visited Good Morning America (the TV)

While Elizabeth and Anna was waiting for dad to get up so they can open the gifts they were playing with the toys they opened Christmas eve. (They did not have to wait to long. I think dad wanted his gifts.)

Let the opening begin.

Having fun?

Even the soft packages was fun......

Not sure if Anna is helping dad, or dad is helping Anna.

Elizabeth with her new puzzle.

Who gets finishes first?

No fun - this is a plastic bag and can not be ripped. But we liked the gift inside......

.... buggies for our dolls.

I missed it. But Anna was wearing the stocking as a hat.
