Holiday Times!

Our holiday time was filled with good times.

There was some fun added this year because Magnus was more aware of what was going and got excited for many of the activities. He really liked looking at the Christmas trees.

We spent Christmas Eve with Farmor. We had fun listening to Elina play carols, have a fire in the fireplace, and eating delicious ham.

We even did the traditional dessert of ris a’lamond. Dana found the whole almond this year and won the treat.

Magnus thoroughly enjoyed the gift opening time. He had gotten elf gifts every morning this month, so he was pretty skilled at tearing through the paper. He really liked the gifts he got, especially the car ramps.

By the time we went home he was all tuckered out, though he insisted in carrying this present to the car.

 

 

 

Santa visited during the night to Magnus’s delight:

Back at Farmor’s for breakfast, Magnus found this tent left by Santa for him. He made both of us climb in with him, while barring any other person from entering.

We then headed down to Salem. Terry always decorates so beautifully!

The next week was filled with some birthdays and then on New Year’s Eve it snowed, but mostly only at Farmor’s house. Magnus thought the snow was weird. Dana took the opportunity to build a snowman before midnight.

At midnight, we toasted each other and celebrated the beginning of a new year

Happy 2013, Everybody! And thank you for sharing 2012 with us.
