God Jul alle sammen! :-)

En liten hilsen fra varme Thailand. Då er julaften over for vår del. En ok kveld, men det var som Lars sa "neste år blir me hjemma mor" :-) - Så det blir vi! :-) Lite julestemning, men dog ribbe og pinnekjøtt på menyen. Skulle hatt litt av svigers sin riskrem det hadde toppet julekvelden, men den får vi spare til neste år! :-)

Ha en fortsatt fin romjul. Imorgen (første juledag) skal vi dra til ei øy utenfor Pattaya og slappe av. Kvelden skal tilbringes på ett kveldsmarked hvor de selger "jalla prute ting" som ungene sier.

Ha det bra så lenge. Klem fra "The Hellands" :-)

Christmas presents

Lisa made these great things to the family. Glass with gingerbread, a troll, a nice decorated box and some nice matches.

Dad got a pink pig for Christmas. This was very nice and so decorative.

Lars made this things in Ceramic when he went to Ullvik with Emil and uncle Johnny. Finally he got them down to Stavanger. They needed to be heated in the oven first. Really nice things, we are soo proud of him. You could look at his face that he was so proud himself. :-)

Week 49 - Going to "Sola beach"

It was really windy and cold this Sunday, but it was good to come outside and feel the cold Norway. Counting down for Thailand, and the last time we will wear that much clothes on the beach! :-)

A great day together with family Soma.

We grilled sausages and marchmellows, a great hit for the kids.

Jump! :-)

For the first time I tried to make lambleg in the "pizzaoven", a great success, I have to try again another time as well. We invited grandmum, Alf and mum to tast it and they liked it as well. :-)

Week 48 - Alf birthday

Going to the "King park" with Baker is an annual tradition. The kids love it! This time Lars friend Olav joined us as well.

Eating time - Great buffet :-)

Present from inlaws :-) Finally I got a Kitchen Aid blender as well. I'm very pleased, its absolutely perfect. And look at the color! :-)

Celebrating Alf's birthday at Sola Airport hotell. A great afternoon with traditional Norwegian Christmas food on the menu.

Enjoy Christmas, this is probably the closest you get Christmas this year! :-) Alf cuddling with Vetle.

Week 47 - Various

A great day at Tjørnøy helping Silje with painting inside her new cabin.

OMG it was fun, and a really memorable day/night. As allways we had problems
with finding the bed, and was in bed early in the morning. Typical......

The Christmas has arrived in Tingveien 2 :-)
Our traditional ribbon is on the door! :-)

Opening of "Randaberg Centres Christmas road" Eating gingerbread hearts - Jummy!
