Christmas Eve 2009

Are you there Maija?

There you are! It's time to wake up! It's time for Christmas Eve with the family!

Maija trying to wake up

Now she's awake!!

Time for some before-dinner snacks

Maija, Mommy & Daddy before dinner

We're missing Mormor and Anntielise - it's time to eat!

Maija knows exactly what to do with her olives!

Maija actually likes to eat them, too!

Washing the olives down with a little bubbly - or sparkling cidar! Skål!

Maija out-does the term "double-fisting" - both hands full and a cookie in the mouth!

Maija finds the almond in the rice pudding! And she nearly ate it! She gets the prize!

God Jul! - That was easier to teach Maija to say rather than Merry Christmas!

Unwrapping the goodies from her prize with Mommy

Maija is ready to eat the chocolate hazelnut treats already!

There's more in the bag!

Oh pretty! A glass ornament! Maija will definitely remember this Christmas forever and when she found her first almond in the ris a la monde!

Mormor baked her traditional cardomum bread and our stuffed stomaches indulged in the warm goodness!

Maija in her pajamas and all ready for bed - sleep over with Anntielise in the hide-a-bed, but first....

...you need to hang the stockings before bed so Santa can leave some treats!
