Down Under with Jan Mikaela Nora and Ella

Big birthday last week. Can you believe it? Jan turned fifty ?!? May sound old, but hey, still looking like he just turned forty ;-) Must be the girls keeping him young . Hip Hip Hurrah !

Another wonderful week at the beach in Normanville to finish the summer holidays. With so many other families from school around it was like one long great play date - for both kids and parents ;-)  and next week its back to school !?!

Ho ho ho! As per Swedish customs Santa visited our home already on Christmas Eve. And what amazing presents did he bring! We had the most wonderful Swedish Christmas dinner - applause for the chefs. And we all had a ball with Santa's biggest present: a table tennis table. Merry Christmas everyone!

Ella performing in her first end-of-year school concert. What a happy Christmas tree !

Nora's end-of-year Theatre Bugs show. The Aldgate kids did songs from the musical Annie. Watch the 'orphan'  with green-brown striped rags !

Barely turned 6 years old and its all happening. Here's Ella finally mastering her bike !

Hurray, Ella turned 6 years. And she celebrated in a big way! Big party, gorgeous weather, lots of friends, lots of presents. Even a face painter! What more can you wish for ?!?
