Merry christmas!

Is our rastafarian daughter singing christmas carols in her oversized hat? Or is she simply complaing about time passing so slowly until christmas eve? Can it be that she is stressed out about not having bought her christmas presents yet? Relax little one, and rest assured that mommy and daddy have it all under control.

What ever the reason for Alice's mouth being wide open - we wish you a wonderful, wonderful holiday season. Don't forget to pass on a smile to everyone you meet. And if you can reach out and help someone in need - this is the time to do it.

We have decided not to spend lot's of money on presents this year, instead we are giving a donation to charity (as we have for a few years now). We have also decided not to mail out christmas cards this year. We do however invite you to take part of our christmas greeting here: www.hjelmer.se/alice/julkort.html
(God jul means merry christmas).

Lot's of love and kisses to all!
Johan+na and Alice 

Alice in the sandbox

You wouldn't beleive it when looking out the window at all the green lawns and bushes, but Christmas is right around the corner. We haven't had any more snow since our last post, so Alice gets to play in the sandbox instead. This picture was taken with our Christmas present to ourselves, the new Nikon D80 digital camera.

This christmas season we are first going to Väddö, för a grand family christmas with Johannas parents. Then we are going to Johans parents on the day after christmas day, so Alice will get to meet both sets of grandparents and have lots of holiday fun with them.

Johanna is still working like a hamster in a wheel, but things are slowing down a bit and hopefully she will be able to take a well deserved rest over the holidays. Johan is keeping busy with Alice, going to the playground, open kindergarten and other activities.
